Our Story

“As e-commerce overwhelm became a growing conversation, we saw the disconnect firsthand. “

Fashion lacked the technical expertise, while technical individuals lacked the creative industry knowledge to build a real solution. Moving between both rooms, we realized they were battling the same problem in completely divergent ways. So we decided to come together.

ACQUIRED was born out of a need to feel at ease and fulfilled whilst and after shopping. Finding the perfect item satisfied more than a temporary desire, but as we met more consumers and heard their stories, it became apparent that shopping is a representation of who one is as an individual, the memories lived, and the decisions set to drive their life.
