Sustainability at Retro Rummage
Our sustainability stance
Overly consumptive habits, the linear economy insisting we buy regularly and replace often. Merchandising designed for the dump .
Good news for all, the circular economy is here, reuse, repurpose, recycle.
Keep it out of the landfill, stop the litres of water used to create those denim jeans, stand-out in something loved, from yesteryear, (bell-bottoms)? something retro, authentic, unique: real head turners. Head turners because you look awesome, but because you dare to be different and take a stand for the environment. Individually you make a difference, collectively we can bring change. Sustainable action, a palpable difference through your fashion choices.
By buying vintage you make a significantly positive impact on our planet and our environment. As role models to others this can be passed down generationally.
There is a real upsurge regarding thrifting, retro and by gone clothes are emerging from the ashes as is our united hope.
Never has it been cooler to wear retro, hand made or vintage treasures.
Rummage, fossick, thrift and find treasure that remind you of who we used to be.


All Retrorummage orders are packaged with the purpose of creating as little waste as possible.
Cards, papers and boxes are recycled, and packaging is reused or repurposed when and wherever possible.
You may think the actions of 1 person and 1 purchase may not make a difference but over time the impact is positive and far reaching. By making sustainable and earth-minded choices, you help to decrease the environmental impact of the fast fashion industry, and via informed consumption, you alone motivate change.
