Manifesto · v1
We save the stuff you actually wear.
Revival Index isn't Antiques Roadshow with a price button. It's not for paintings, sideboards or pocket watches. It's for the trainers your dad wore, the shirt from the year you won it, the jacket that's seen ten winters and could see ten more.
We're building the UK's first proper restoration network for the things people under 40 actually own — and care about. Snap it, get a verdict, send it to a vetted restorer. No appraisers. No auction houses. No 70-year-old man squinting through a loupe.
What we restore
- TrainersJordans, Air Max, Sambas, TNs. The pair you wore to the final.
- Football shirtsReebok era Liverpool, '99 treble Man Utd, Italia 90, anything with a story.
- Vintage clothingCarhartt, Stone Island, Levi's, Tacchini, band tees, shellsuits.
- LeatherBoots, jackets, bags. Re-wax, re-stitch, re-line.
- Vintage techiPods, Game Boys, digicams, Walkmans. The stuff that built your taste.
- Watches under £500Grandad's Seiko. Your dad's Casio. Service it, wear it forever.
What we don't
- Fine art & paintingsThat's a different world, with insurance assessors and 6-month waitlists.
- Antique furnitureVictorian sideboards aren't our audience. Mid-century maybe. One day.
- Jewellery & high-value watchesSpecialist trade. We won't pretend.
- Anything Aunt Mabel left youIf your nan would've loved Antiques Roadshow, this isn't the app.
The long game
Google Maps, but for things worth saving.
The app you see today is the wedge. The real asset is the restorer network, the demand data, and a generation of people who'd rather bring something back than buy something new.
