Stockholm tips by locals – always up to date!

What did vintage lovers do before Beyond Retro? Of course there have been several second hand shops in Stockholm before, but nothing quite measures up to this London original that now keeps shop on Åsögatan.

From the outside you only see a garage type door and a rack of less interesting clothes on sale. That makes it the more exciting to walk down the ramp and look at the world opening up before you.

There is no point in mentioning that they have skirts and shoes and jackets – all second hand shops do. What makes Beyond Retro special is that they always manage to get such cool stuff. It’s almost impossible to come here and not fall in love with a retro dress or a cute blouse.

And on top of the every day wear, they carry items for those special occasions – like a ball or a masquerade. It’s one of those places where you want to try on the craziest stuff with your friends, show it off and laugh yourself silly like the main characters in so many corny movies do.

Since the shop also exists in London, the web site is in Swedish and English. Big plus!

There is a second Stockholm store, even bigger than the first one with 500 square meters, on Drottninggatan 77 between metro stops T-Centralen and Odenplan. And in the middle of April Beyond Retro has announced they are opening a third one close to metro Zinkensdam on Brännkyrkagatan 8.
