Beyond Retro

Beyond Retro at Drottninggatan 77 is a basement vintage-clothing shop on one of central Stockholm’s busiest shopping streets, near the northern end of Drottninggatan and within walking distance of Hötorget and Stockholm Concert Hall. The company was founded in London in 2002, beginning in a disused East London dairy, and later expanded to Sweden; its founder’s name is not identified in the available store information. The Stockholm branch sells handpicked clothing, footwear and accessories spanning styles from the 1950s through the present, with colorful dresses, denim, outerwear and costume pieces arranged as a large-scale treasure hunt rather than by a single fashion era. It is particularly notable for its focus on reusing authentic garments and for the sheer range of individual pieces, many of which are one-offs. Current published hours are Monday to Friday 11:00–19:00, Saturday 11:00–18:00 and Sunday 12:00–18:00; weekday mornings are generally the quietest time to browse.
