Welcome to The Archive Boro, your ultimate vintage destination in the heart of downtown Statesboro, Georgia located at 20 South Main Street.
Founded by Georgia Southern University graduates Johnny McFatten and Tyler Brands, The Archive Boro results from a dynamic partnership driven by passion and deep expertise.
At The Archive Boro, our mission is simple: to provide high-quality, handpicked vintage pieces prioritizing longevity and sustainability over fleeting fast-fashion trends. We understand the environmental impacts of clothing waste, so we are here to ensure that every item is thoughtfully sourced from wholesale and leftover clothing. By doing so, we help reduce landfill waste while offering our customers something special.
Meet Johnny
From Coffee County, Johnny McFatten came to Statesboro to play basketball at Georgia Southern University. During his time at Southern, he decided to take his passion for vintage and start pop-up shops around town. Formally known as Vntg Archives, the shop quickly gained traction. After a fateful meeting with Tyler Brands, The Archive Boro was born. Outside of running the store, McFatten also runs the Statesboro Vintage Market.
Meet Tyler
Tyler Brands is a Savannah native who has a passion for shoes. Upon coming to Georgia Southern University for soccer, he realized he could turn his passion into a business. He started TheNameBrands LLC, with his first sale being McFatten's roommate. Brands and McFatten became the perfect pair to become The Archive Boro. Outside of the store you can find Tyler bartending at Speak Aura or playing in a local soccer league.
