Sustainability

Change the world, and look great whilst doing it.

By purchasing high quality, vintage fashion we are reshaping luxury fashion. At a Retro Tale, we believe in creating a new global standard by making sustainability simple. From how timeless pieces are reused to changing what’s considered desirable, we’ll walk you through our 3-part Sustainability Manifesto.

Develop your unique style and not bad habits

When shopping vintage, these stunning pre-loved items have inherent, bold character. It requires a discerning, skillful eye to style. You’ll be the only person with an item of that unique history and character - gradually developing your own, unique fabulous sense of style to stand out from the crowd.

Whilst your style is elevated, you’re also adding to the community of sustainability. By shopping vintage, you reduce the overall CO2 emissions significantly. Fun Fact: If every consumer this year bought just one secondhand garment instead of a new one, it would lower CO2 emissions by more than 2 billion pounds, equal to taking 76 million cars off the road for a day, and save some 23 billion gallons of water and 4 billion kilowatt-hours of energy. That’s saving the planet in style.

Quality looks better than quantity

Remember that cheap sweater that gave you razor burns on your neck? You know the one. Time to Move on.

Beautiful choices are a symbol of heritage and continuity

By leading the voice of Circularity & Durability in Fashion you are amplifying an age-old way of shopping where loved pieces are treasured, and passed on for their expert craftsmanship, sentimental value, or simple beauty. It’s a way to tell your story through style.

At A Retro Tale we standby our Sustainability Manifesto: 1. Develop unique style with unique vintage products, 2. Invest in quality over quantity and, 3. Lead the change and begin filling life with pieces you will treasure forever that represent your story.
