More than just a Swimwear Store

Exciting News: We're Expanding into a Full Retro Clothing Store!

For the past 7 years, our shop has proudly provided you with unique, vintage-style swimwear that brought the golden age of fashion to your beach days and poolside moments. We've loved curating timeless, flattering pieces that helped you feel confident and chic, even when temperatures soared. But now, we’re ready to take things to the next level—and we think you’re going to love it!

We’re thrilled to announce that we’re expanding beyond swimwear to become your go-to destination for retro clothing year-round! That’s right—your favourite shop for vintage-inspired swim looks is evolving into a full-fledged retro clothing store, offering a variety of styles to keep you looking stylish no matter the season.

Why the Change?

As much as we adore vintage swimwear, we know that fashion doesn’t stop when summer ends. Our customers (that's you!) are constantly seeking that classic, nostalgic flair throughout the year, not just during swimsuit season. Whether it’s a cozy retro sweater for fall, a glamorous ‘50s-inspired dress for the holidays, or a groovy jumpsuit for spring, you’ve let us know you want more—and we’re here to deliver!

We believe that the timeless appeal of retro fashion extends to every wardrobe staple. By expanding our product range, we’re not only able to offer more variety, but we’re also creating a one-stop shop for all your retro style needs, no matter the occasion or time of year.

What You Can Expect

So, what exactly does this transition mean for you? While we’ll continue to carry the vintage-style swimwear you’ve come to love, we’re also introducing a broader selection of clothing, accessories, and outerwear inspired by the most iconic fashion eras—from the 1940s to the 1980s. Here's a sneak peek of what's in store:

1. Retro Dresses for Every Occasion
From swing dresses reminiscent of the 1950s to mod-inspired minis from the '60s,(to follow) we’ll have a variety of retro-inspired dresses perfect for every event—whether you’re attending a holiday party, going out for brunch, or just want to add some vintage charm to your everyday wardrobe.

2. Stylish Outerwear
As temperatures drop, your love for retro fashion doesn’t have to! Think classic trench coats, faux fur jackets, and elegant capes that will keep you warm while looking effortlessly chic. We’re making sure you can embrace those nostalgic vibes even in the cooler months.

3. Casual and Statement Tops
Whether you're after rockabilly vibes with bold patterns and sweetheart necklines or prefer a more understated retro look, we’re expanding our range of tops to include everything from fun graphic tees to elegant blouses with vintage flair.

4. Accessories and Shoes
No retro outfit is complete without the right accessories. We're talking cat-eye sunglasses, headscarves, vintage-inspired handbags, and shoes that match the era you’re channeling—be it saddle shoes, platform heels, or classic pumps.

5. Expanded Size Range and Inclusivity
We believe retro fashion should be for everyone. As part of our expansion, we’re committed to offering a wider range of sizes to make sure that every body type can enjoy these timeless styles. We’re also working on sourcing sustainable materials and ethical production processes because we want to bring you fashion that feels as good as it looks.

Retro Fashion for All Seasons

We know that seasonal shifts bring different wardrobe needs, and we’re designing our product line-up to meet them. Here’s how we’re going to keep you looking fabulous, no matter the time of year:

• Spring: Expect flirty skirts, cropped cardigans, and lightweight, retro blouses perfect for layering and embracing that fresh, blooming vibe.
• Summer: Our iconic swimwear stays, but we’ll add playful sundresses, retro shorts, and flowy tops for those carefree, sunny days.
• Fall: Cozy up in vintage-inspired knit sweaters, stylish trench coats, and plaid skirts that evoke that nostalgic back-to-school feeling—even if you're well beyond those days.
• Winter: Stay warm and stylish with glamorous faux-fur coats, retro winter dresses perfect for parties, and accessories that add a touch of vintage luxury to your cold-weather outfits.
