Founder & Managing Director
— Elan Archive
Tony Hookings-Skinner is the founder of Elan Archive. With a career rooted in luxury service and a trained eye for design and craftsmanship, Tony curates exceptional pieces from the world’s most revered fashion houses, including Hermès, Chanel, and Dior. His focus is on identifying enduring icons—defined by their materials, construction, and significance within each house’s design history. Elan Archive is guided by a collector’s mindset. Each piece is selected for its condition, provenance, and long-term relevance, favouring rarity, restraint, and timeless appeal over trend. The archive exists for those who view luxury not simply as ownership, but as preservation.
