Born from a love for vintage clothing, lasting quality, and the character in every piece
At Retrospectiva, we believe good vintage clothing deserves to be worn and loved again. Every piece we find has its own personality, story, and style — and we love helping each one find a new home.
The person behind
Retrospectiva
I've always loved second-hand and vintage clothing — not only because of its positive impact on the environment, but also because of the incredible quality, character, and unique style behind every piece.
Before opening my shop, I used to shop at second-hand stores in my city. Although I often found amazing clothes, the experience frequently left me disappointed: a lack of attention to detail, poor presentation, and service that didn't feel personal or thoughtful. That's when I decided to create the vintage shop I always wished I could find.
The same Retrospectiva,
a new chapter
You'll spot “Est. 2017” on our logo and “new” on our Etsy — both are true. Retrospectiva began in Medellín, Colombia, and has crossed an ocean to start again in Spain.

Born in Medellin
Retrospectiva opened in Medellin, Colombia — a small online vintage shop in Instagram built on a love for clothing with real character.

- Today
Reborn in Spain
Now settled in Spain, we're the same Retrospectiva — reimagined for Europe and customers worldwide, not only the Americas.
“Every piece you see at Retrospectiva is carefully handpicked, cleaned, inspected, and treated with care.”
Some items are even gently restored to give them a new chance to be worn and appreciated again. We focus on curated vintage clothing, retro fashion, and unique second-hand pieces that stand out for their quality and style. Most of our items are one of a kind — which means it's very unlikely we'll ever have the exact same piece again.
We truly care about your entire experience, from the moment we select a garment to the moment it arrives in your hands. Our goal is for you to feel excited, confident, and happy with your purchase.
Thank you for supporting small businesses, sustainable fashion, and for giving beautiful clothing a second story ♡
Good clothing deserves
to be worn again
Created from a love for vintage clothing. Every piece is handpicked, cleaned, and cared for by hand, arriving fresh, polished, and packed with care from the rail to your door.
Hand picked with care
We choose pieces for the details fast fashion forgot. Every piece is cleaned, polished, and any flaws are clearly shown and described.
Character & story
Every piece arrives with its own personality and a little history. We keep the sun-fade and the gentle marks of a life already lived. That's the part you can't buy new.
Kinder by nature
Buying preloved keeps good clothing in use and out of landfill. A second story is the most sustainable thing a garment can have.
