BEYOND RETRO

Beyond Retro is a trend-led vintage fashion shop which using beautifully crafted reclaimed materials, produces a growing line of apparel and accessories. 

To emphasise their passion for original design, the company take inspiration from all eras and guess what? Through the process of reusing old charms, they manage to take care of the planet at the same time! Each item of clothing is boldly individual whether it's lace hemmed, chopped and cropped, or purely 90s. You will never be in fear of someone matching you in your silk, suede, or leather attire.

From my summer expedition to Brighton, the girls and I hunted down Beyond Retro. After at least an hour of searching through the masses of wavy garms, I came across a line of sport shirts where I picked out the top pictured above. The quality is very high for secondhand material and definitely has that funky edge which could be easily tucked into your favourite pair of jeans, paired with a thick leather belt.

I am definitely planning on heading back to continue my journey through the (sometimes blinding) padded shoulder shirts, and I always like to recommend a visit to anyone passing through. The only thing I would be wary of however, is the prices which have a tendency to range quite dramatically. Just be careful to not break your bank account which my lovely friend Daisy was very close to doing! You can find Beyond Retro in Brighton, Brick Lane, Dalston, and Soho in the U.K.
