Archive Is The Future: Manchester Edition

MANCHESTER · WE LOVE YOU 

The love you gave us on Sunday was so special. It’s so exciting to see how thriving the archive community is in Manchester. To the Dealers, your curation was insane, yet again. From the amazing archives up North, to the Dealers who travelled from across the country and Europe, you are all incredible. And to everyone who came, you broke records! The highest number of attendees we’ve ever had!! Your interest and passion for collecting archive is so clear, Manchester is firmly on our roadmap for the future; expect more tailored Known Source archive showcases coming to Manchester!

And we needed so much support from our community to make this first event happen in Manchester. The way the Known Source community came together for this one really meant the World to us. It was special collaborating with SYLK on this, as one of our founding dealers on Known Source, it was a full circle moment. Eddie from Linear, another founding dealer, also played a huge role in producing all the promotional content. And Fay from Elite Preloved was a superstar in helping us build out our team. It really was a family affair.

We also loved the panel talk with Fay and Dexter; it was intimate, and in the most stunning setting. Every time we sit down with our dealers, we are reminded how incredible each of you are. Without you, the industry would not be the same, keep driving it forwards!

And Victoria Baths simply couldn’t have been a better venue. Steeped in history, with the most beautiful architecture. It felt like the perfect complement to the works of art that were for sale. And the VB team were incredible, it was a pleasure working with you. Definitely will not be our last archive showcase in your precious space!

We’re honestly just honoured to have found a new home. We might have come back to London with sore backs, but our hearts are anything but. Thank you Manchester x
