Our collection includes timeless classics such as Chanel Flap Bags, Hermès Birkin and Kelly bags, Louis Vuitton Neverfull and Keepall weekend bags, Rolex Datejust, Omega watches, Gucci Jackie Bags, and elegant Cartier jewelry.

In 2025, we proudly opened our first physical store in Mood Gallerian, right in the heart of Stockholm. Visit us to explore our curated selection in person and enjoy personalized service from our expert team.

By choosing to shop second-hand, you’re not only embracing luxury—you’re also supporting sustainability. You reduce waste, extend the life cycle of designer pieces, and help shape a more conscious way to enjoy fashion.

Poor and slow customer service musty bag

Poor and slow customer service. Had a repeated ask from DHL for a EOI number to help clear customs. Whilst bag is as described what wasn’t stated on the listing is that it really smells musty and old vintage. It’s not that old and if that’s the case it should be listed. So not sure how they are storing these expensive luxury products

Great products and customer service

I made my first purchase from ARetroTale but it will sure not be the last one. Their impeccable customer service- Hanna in particular- does an amazing job helping to find the right product and to ensure your experience is flawless. The product i received was exactly as described, great conditions, with original box and a reasonable price tag.
Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for luxury vintage items - in fact, i already did so!

False advertisement…

The ring was authentic but the description completely misleading and false. Ring was a Pomellato Petit Nudo, not Classic, meaning cheaper, because the stone is smaller, therefore the discount vs new selling price was also overstated. Ring was size 52 not 51, and it was not vintage but from 2022.
