The Archive

A curated directory of brands that have demonstrated they can make something that lasts. Presence on the site is the endorsement—there are no ratings, no star systems, no rankings.

If a brand is listed, it has passed the bar. This is not a shopping site. It's a research tool for people who want to make informed purchases.
