Our Story
Origins
Collectif can be traced back to the vibrant energy of London's iconic Camden Market and its alternative street vibe of the 90’s. The original inspiration came from the glamorous Las Vegas 50’s aesthetic and exciting rockabilly scene. The inaugural capsule collection emerged in 2000, and successfully blended vintage charm with the bold spirit of rock & roll.
The Journey
With its origins deeply rooted in the vibrant, alternative worlds of rockabilly and rock and roll, Collectif’s core philosophy consistently revolved around bringing joy, instilling a sense of confidence, and encouraging self-expression. Over time, the design team evolved and matured, resulting in the creation of collections spanning from vintage reproduction to dark wear, and expanding into 60s and 70s shapes and styles.
