For nearly two decades, Harris Kyprianou collected quietly and consistently. Garments, art, jewellery, objects for the home. Pieces chosen for texture, form and emotional charge rather than resale value. What began as a private archive has evolved into Finders Keepers, a recurring pop-up built on a distinct point of view.
Today, the project brings together rare vintage clothing, art, jewellery and considered everyday objects. The categories vary. The eye remains constant.
The archive that became a platform
Finders Keepers, Kyprianou explains, was never conceived as a business plan. It emerged from instinct.
“It’s a curated world shaped by instinct, memory and a long-standing fascination with beautiful things,” he says. “Today, it exists as a refined edit of rare vintage clothing, art, jewellery and considered everyday objects, all brought together through a distinct point of view rather than a single category.”
The foundations go back 18 to 20 years. He has always collected. Pieces for the home. Garments. Art. Anything that felt visually strong or emotionally resonant.
“As a photographer, I was constantly drawn to objects and clothing with character, often incorporating them into my productions and photo shoots. I’ve always been attentive to texture, form and mood. If I found something special in a market or a small vintage shop in Europe and I could bring it home, I would.”
Over time, the collecting became an archive. Eventually, space ran out. That practical constraint became the conceptual turning point.
“I realised this private passion could be shared. Finders Keepers grew from the desire to open up that archive, to let these beautiful pieces continue their lives elsewhere, and to transform a deeply personal hobby into something sustainable.”
