About A Retro Tale
What you'll find
The focus is on designer accessories with a past. Handbags form the heart of the stock, joined by wallets, watches and smaller accessories from the big luxury names. New pieces are added daily, so the selection changes often.
Authenticity and condition
Every item is checked by specialist staff working with AI tools that inspect products in fine detail. Because A Retro Tale holds its own inventory, it controls payments, shipping and quality checks itself instead of relying on third-party sellers. Buying second-hand also extends the life of designer goods, which the company presents as its way of cutting waste.
Ordering from the UK
Shipping is free to the UK, as well as to the EU, the US and Norway. Returns are covered by a money-back guarantee lasting 14 days. Customer service answers on weekdays by phone or at [email protected]. The company also has a physical presence at Mood Stockholm, and click and collect is listed among its services. Checkout takes Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal and Klarna, and students can claim a discount.
