Spring is in good form in Teşvikiye, and on Saturday, May 2 we're keeping the doors a little wider than usual. Archive Party is built to run from late morning into the evening — the kind of Saturday where you can swing by once on your walk, then come back at dusk to meet friends. There's no schedule to honor, no door list to clear; it's a long, easy day at the shop.
Event Details
- Date: Saturday, May 2
- Hours: 11:00 – 21:00

All-Day Discounts and Welcome Cocktails
Two things shape the day: discounted pieces across the floor and complimentary cocktails handed to you when you arrive. It isn't a launch and it isn't a runway moment — just a long Saturday where the shop is a little more generous than usual and you can take your time. Early hours are quieter if browsing is what you're after; late afternoon is when the music gets louder and the room starts filling up.
A Saturday Route in Teşvikiye
Hüsrev Gerede has quietly become one of the most-walked corners of the Istanbul concept store map. The route writes itself: brunch, a slow loop through Maçka Park, a stop at the shop, and a drift back along Teşvikiye Caddesi. It's the unhurried Nişantaşı streetwear pace we like — and Archive Party slots neatly into the middle of it.
What to Wear
Early May is changeable; light layers and pieces that move with you tend to win the day. A reliable formula: a soft hoodie, a clean cap and a walkable sneaker. From our own label, the A Simple Hoodie keeps doing the heavy lifting this season; finish it with the F Logo Cap or one of the pastel For Your Pleasure caps and you're set.
For footwear, the adidas Samba family or a soft-running New Balance will keep you on your feet through the afternoon — fitting, since the entire plan is to wander.
Quick Notes
- No need to plan ahead; the shop stays open straight through.
- Bring a friend, a kid, a dog — everyone's welcome.
- Stock shifts during the day, so if there's a piece you've had your eye on, the early hours are the safest bet.
See you on Saturday, May 2 — somewhere between a quiet midday and a louder evening, in the middle of Teşvikiye, with the door propped open like always.
