Beyond Retro

Beyond Retro has fast become a vintage legend.

We offer the biggest, leading selection of handpicked vintage clothing to style conscious shoppers.

Our large-scale, show-stopping stores are a dazzling celebration of style through the decades. The first Beyond Retro store opened in a disused dairy in East London, where we built up a reputation for being an innovative retailer with a rock ‘n’ roll heart. Against the burgeoning Brick Lane scene, Beyond Retro emerged as a trailblazer, selling 20th-century fashion in all its outrageous and exotic glory. Led by instinctive fashion forecasting and staffed by creative individuals, the company continues to source original wares and kick-start trends.

The vibrant, creative spirit of the original East London scene is integral to the shopping experience in every Beyond Retro store; in London, Brighton, Sweden and online too! As we bring our vintage vision to more people across the UK and Europe, we never lose sight of the essential cultural nostalgia, intrinsic to the Beyond Retro world!

All of the starry, vintage product in our stores is bought directly or indirectly from charitable organisations. We seek to recycle used clothing and make it accessible and exciting to everyone through creating an enchanting and unexpected shopping experience.

Our commitment to utilizing used clothing in such a dynamic and visually engaging manner is fuelled by the knowledge that over 10 million tonnes of clothing and shoes are thrown away by the Western world each year. Beyond Retro firmly believe in reducing the waste we, as a population, continue to create.

Our collection of clothing comprises garments and accessories created from natural and man-made fabrics that have been used to fashion ourselves for generations. We include second hand fur and leather goods in our clothing offering as we believe that all resources must be utilised in order to encourage and promote sustainability. We have a strict ‘No New Fur’ policy in place which means we have never and will never buy or sell brand new fur. Our decision to sell used fur and leather goods alongside other items of used clothing is, we believe, a principled and informed choice.

All of the used product we buy originally started as a donation to a charity. The sale of these donations to recycling companies generates revenue for charities throughout the Western world. Beyond Retro buys all of its used clothing from charities directly, or indirectly through recycling companies.

Beyond Retro promote an individual lifestyle choice that encourages people to recycle more and make use of the excessive, often precious amounts of garments already discarded. We aim to make the experience of buying old clothes exciting! We go to great lengths to find fashion forward originals and we never fail to filter a spectacular collection of vintage designs. We are committed to finding lasting solutions in a world of fast and throwaway fashion. Our vintage heart continues to celebrate the sartorial secrets of bygone eras. From corsets to couture, pencil skirts to punk and everything in between, we chronicle a century of magnificent style. Welcome to our world!
