So long and thank you ❤️

After 8 glorious years we bid you farewell! In February 2020 our web store will close permanently.

2019 was one of our best years yet with some of our most successful product launches ever including a bumper collaborative collection with fashion kingpins ASOS. So with that in mind we figured now was as good a time as any to hang up those boots.

After a long and enjoyable run as a streetwear brand owner, the founder and director of Agora Clothing has decided its time for a new challenge – one outside of fashion. Leaving the brand behind has not been an easy decision, but sometimes you just know that its time for a new chapter in life.

Agora may be back again at some point down the line, but it will likely be a different kind of animal.

The whole Agora team would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has ever shopped with us, talked about us to friends or engaged with us in any way. We are humbled by every positive message we have received and every person we have seen wearing our brand.
It is entirely down to you guys that this company grew to be a mainstay of streetwear today.

For those that have messaged to say they have grown dependent on us for their streetwear fix, we are sorry to be leaving you. We hope you can find something new to fill an Agora sized void ❤️

Ps don’t worry customer support will be replying to all order related emails as long as they need to!

pps almost everything in the store is part of a fire sale right now

 

Vintage Tommy Hilfiger & Vintage Ralph Lauren Polo Clearout

ton

We’ve been stock piling too much vintage so we’re currently having a clearout.  Now up on the site is contents of a 100lb mixed bale of vintage Tommy Hilfiger and a 100lb mixed bale of vintage Ralph Lauren Polo 🔥

Our vintage is hand picked by our UK team who are flown to the US to pick like crazy for a week at a time. We hand pick up to one tonne of vintage in one week from a selection of great suppliers. Each visit we find better stuff and new suppliers.  We travel far and wide to source the best product so the items we find aren’t already picked over by other buyers.

You can therefore be sure of the consistency in quality and style of our vintage. This year in particular we’ve been blessed and found so much great product  that we’ve accumulated too much for our warehouse. That’s why most of the vintage Tommy Hilfiger and vintage Ralph Lauren Polo on the site we’ve listed for £9.99.

Agora teams up with Laurent Folco for new capsule

– Streetwear meets colourful cubism

Emerging Norwich-based streetwear brand Agora has joined forces with French artist Laurent Folco for its new summer capsule.

The collection – which features 3 sweatshirts and two pairs of pants – treads in familiar territory for Agora; mixing high contrast colours with tidy embroidery.

Collaborative artist Laurent Folco is a Cannes-based painter who was headhunter by Agora for his work with contemporary cubist portraits. Folco adopts Picasso and Braque’s style of depicting a single subject from multiple perspectives, but lends a pop-art touch by adding vivid colour blocking and thick black outlining.

The capsule sweatshirts feature embroidered chest patches and can be mix and matched with either pair of cropped, checked pants. As is typical for Agora, the collection is available at an affordable price point.

Cyber Collection

Our new cyber collection is the product of a cross polination of rave culture and 90s sportswear.  We’ve dipped into two cultures to produce a collection that embraces neon at the very heart of it.

Neon has always been part of streetwear but its often been too brash to be fully embraced. Afterall, there are only so many occasions you can go out in full neon.

Thats why our Cyber collection employs just the right amount of neon, by using it subtly,  through prints, piping, trim and paneling.
