About us
We are an exclusive menswear vintage fashion archive for research, inspiration and rental, located in Tuscany, Italy. We aim to be more than a fashion archive however, more a hub aimed at enhancing the importance of research in the creative process. TheCube is a dynamic archive, based on the concept of inspirational installations that will constantly evolve and change according to the season, moods and trends, not only of the moment but of the future. Now also with an ever-expanding digital archive where you can rent directly or acquire the functional and inspirational pictures that we have taken of the garments and accessories.

Kiki started as an intern at TheCube Archive and we made sure she didn’t leave at the end of it. By now an essential part of TheCube team, Kiki from Sassuolo is a creative and organizing presence that can’t be missed.
Fresh out of her Styling degree at Istituto Marangoni, Sofia did her internship here at TheCube. Within months, she’s assisting at shoots, creating looks, and helping the ‘changing of the closet’ of the archive. Girl’s got talent.

We were honored to bring Stefano Chiassai's BlueTailoring to Première Vision Denim in Berlin, to tell its story, and to physically show it with an exclusive 75sqm exhibition. "Why not move move denim from the workwear and casual world into another direction? Why not bring it into the world of tailoring and luxury?". That was the focus point of the Première Vision Denim talk held by Stefano Chiassai, our Corinna and Marius of TheCube Archive and Flavio Berto of Berto Industries.

Diario di un Lockdown. March 8, 2020 – August 31, 2021
The drawings in the book “DIARIO di un LOCKDOWN” by Stefano Chiassai become an exhibition. In San Giovanni Valdarno, warm lights, classical music and candles in the beautiful San Giovanni Battista church created an intimate atmosphere to take in the over 50 drawings that were selected from the book to be part of this special exhibition.
