About Us
Our Story
Epokearkivet is founded by experienced costume professionals working across film, television and theatre productions based in Norway. After decades of working in costume departments and collaborating with productions of many different scales, we recognised a common challenge: thousands of high-quality costumes exist in warehouses and collections, yet they are often difficult to discover and access.
Epokearkivet was created to change that. Our goal is to make costume collections more visible, accessible, and reusable by building a shared digital platform connecting costume warehouses and professional users across Europe.By bringing collections together digitally, we aim to support more efficient workflows in film and performing arts while strengthening sustainable practices through the reuse of existing costumes.
Epokearkivet connects costume warehouses and professionals across Europe, making it easier to discover, reuse, and circulate costumes for film, television, theatre, and opera.
