"Chasing the past, I stumbled into the future" - T.A Sachs

I remember fondly as a child settling down in front of the T.V. to watch a classic Hollywood movie, admiring the glamour and poise. The polished tweed suits topped with a perfectly positioned hat. The glide of the heavily beaded evening gown and the swagger of a structured coat. This is where it began for me, the love of vintage clothing.

    These images stayed with me as I grew up and when I started into the world of film and photography it was clear how much they had influenced me and my aesthetic. I have collected vintage from a young age and loved to learn their history, the stories behind the pieces. I would be heartbroken to leave beautiful vintage clothing I had found behind if didn't fit me. I felt it was my duty to give it a new lease of life and put it on a new journey. There began Retro Route Vintage.

    Since then I have had the privilege of working with some amazing people. From styling to supplying items for major films, Retro Route Vintage has grown and I have learnt so much. I run it all as a one woman show. I like the fact that I have a part at every stage and I can communicate with customers directly. My focus is always on quality and showing my passion for vintage.
