For volume buyers
Bulk — bags, bales & pallets
Buy sorted vintage by weight rather than by the piece. Three formats, from a 5kg bag to a 1,000kg pallet, quoted per kilo.
Three formats
Pick the one that fits your shop
5kg – 25kg
Bags
Shops and online sellers buying weight for the first time, or topping up a category between intakes. Small enough to arrive on a normal courier and to sell through in a few weeks.
50kg – 300kg
Bales
Established shops and market traders working real volume. The rate per kilo drops here, and the sort can be specified more tightly than at bag level.
200kg – 1,000kg
Pallets
Distributors, container buyers and multi-site retailers. Shipped on a pallet by freight, at the lowest rate per kilo we quote.
Rate per kilo falls as the format goes up. If you are not sure where to start, a 50kg bale is the usual first volume order and gives a real sense of the sort before you commit to a pallet.
Why buy by weight
Buying by the piece is the right way to start and the wrong way to scale. Once you are turning over a rail a week, weight is the cheaper unit — you take the sort as it comes and price it yourself.
We sort by category first, so a bale of polos is a bale of polos rather than a lucky dip. Mixed is available too if you would rather we picked across the intake.

Pick a format and a weight
A 5kg bag to a full tonne on a pallet. Sorted by category, or mixed if you would rather we picked across the intake.
- 02
We quote the rate
Rate per kilo depends on the format, the category and the volume — the bigger the format, the lower the rate. You get the figure, what is in the current sort, and a delivered price.
- 03
Pay and it ships
Invoiced for goods and freight together. Bags go on a tracked courier; bales and pallets go on freight, and we confirm the lead time before you commit.
Prefer to buy in counted lots? Browse the products — most come in runs from five pieces to a hundred.

Vintage clothing in bulk — bags, bales and pallets, UK
Archive Wholesale supplies vintage clothing in bulk to UK and European buyers in three formats: 5kg to 25kg bags, 50kg to 300kg bales, and 200kg to 1,000kg pallets. Stock is sorted by category before it is weighed — polos and t-shirts, jumpers and sweats, jackets, footwear and accessories — so you are buying a known category rather than unsorted bulk.
Buying by weight suits shops with an established customer and traders who move volume: market stalls, container buyers, distributors and online sellers listing at pace. If you are still testing what sells, start with counted lots or a reseller box and move to weight once you know your numbers.
