Retro Stage 8th Anniversary: Reviving Vintage Fashion from the 1920s to 1980s

MONTEREY, Calif., May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Vintage fashion brand Retro Stage is currently celebrating its 8th anniversary. Known for their mission to blend nostalgic styles and modern sensibilities through superior craftsmanship, Retro Stage is dedicating this anniversary to the nearly 100 years' worth of fashion history that has inspired them since the very beginning.

From Niche Passion to Global Legacy

Retro Stage was founded in 2017 with the goal of preserving and reimagining vintage fashion for contemporary audiences. From small-batch artisan collaborations to curated collections dedicated to different decades, the brand's humble beginnings were fueled by pure appreciation for 20th-century styles, in particular those spanning from the 1920s to the 1980s.

In 2018, Retro Stage opened its first-ever offline store themed around the idea of the 1900s as "A Century of Style", and they continued along this path until 2020, when they pivoted their focus to global e-commerce in order to connect with vintage-loving communities worldwide. This massive expansion in customer base later inspired the brand to pursue sustainable carbon-neutral operations, a reconciliation of ethics and aesthetics that was finally achieved in 2023.

Brand Philosophy: Bridging Past and Present

Thanks to their local US-based warehouse, Retro Stage is able to offer customers all around the world lightning-fast shipping within 3–8 days, all with a generous return policy. Customers who have questions or need assistance can turn to the website's customer service team for 24/7 help with any and all issues.
