Partners / Brands / Creatives

A room that treats clothes like work.

RAW98 is not a boutique dressed up as a living room. It is closer to a small gallery — simple, timeless, quiet — built so the clothing is the only loud thing in it. Partners come here for attention rather than volume.

Ways to work together

Four ways to be in the room.

01

Brand residency

A dedicated corner of the room for a season. Your pieces, your context, our light — presented the way a gallery hangs work, with space around every hanger.

02

Concept rack

One rack, one idea, changed every month. A film, a fruit, a colour, a city. Vintage designer alongside new work, chosen around a single theme people come back to see.

03

Activations & events

Launch evenings, seasonal gatherings, artist and maker showings. Small rooms, real conversation, photographs worth keeping.

04

Styling workshops

Hosted sessions where guests are styled from the racks and the archive. A natural way for a brand to be worn, understood and remembered.

Selection

Chosen, never rented.

No brand buys its way onto the floor. We select on point of view, fabrication and feeling, then we stand behind it in person.

Presentation

Shown with room to breathe.

Shallow buys, considered hanging, honest light. Each piece is introduced with a written record so staff and guests speak about it the same way.

Partnership

Simple and straight.

Clear terms, clear delivery windows, clear reporting. One point of contact, and a calendar shared well ahead of each season.

Propose something

Send a line sheet, a look book, or simply an idea for the room. We read everything.

Brands, showrooms and agencies — include your delivery window and terms. Artists, stylists and studios proposing an activation — tell us the concept and the month you have in mind.
