Our Story – Vintage with Purpose

The Retro Wardrobe started as a passion project and grew into a community hub for conscious fashion lovers. Based in Newcastle, we offer ethically sourced, quality second-hand clothing with style and soul, retro curated treasures, jewellery, accessories and homewares.

Step inside The Retro Wardrobe and you’re stepping into a time machine. A portal of ultimate nostalgia where every rack, disco relic, and floral tin from Nan’s kitchen tells a story. We're more than just a vintage shop. We're an experience. A carefully curated journey through the best of the past, designed to spark memories, start conversations, and help you find pieces that feel like home.

We don’t just sell vintage – we celebrate it. Every piece is a stand against fast fashion, a nod to history, and a step toward a more sustainable future.
