Founded by Rusty Beukes @rustybeukes and Mohamed Elashy @ashyxvii , Between Us Boys @betweenusboys is first and foremost a cultural platform, documenting subcultures through collectible drops that move between publishing, fashion and storytelling.
Their latest chapter, Archive 01, explores labour, masculinity and identity across Afro, Latino, Arab and South Asian communities. Built around heavyweight T-shirts, worn-in caps, brushed silver jewellery and a 40-page collectible zine, it feels less like a collection and more like a living narrative.
Gender-neutral and intentionally open in format, it exists somewhere between a capsule, an archive and a cultural document.

@betweenusboys have launched Archive 01, a capsule collection made as the starting point of an ongoing project made to preserve identities and subcultures of today.
Alongside photography and film, Archive 01 lands in the hands of its audience through a physical capsule and a collectable print supplement. Featuring familiar faces from creative communities, the drop is made to be handled, archived, and returned to.
The drop also includes a limited capsule of t-shirts, caps, and jewellery, turning the project’s ideas into objects you can wear and live with.
