With floor to ceiling second-hand stock, Retrostar is the place every good Melbourne kid comes to test the vintage waters. It’s like rummaging around in Nanna’s wardrobe - if Nanna was a cross between Twiggy, Farrah Fawcett and Madonna with a dash of Banana Rama.
If you thought the endless selection was already decent enough, then brace yourself… Retrostar just got bigger.
A whole wall has been knocked out and new room made for a wider selection of nostalgic band tees, vintage dresses, accessories and shoes galore. But beware, the place is now so big you could easily get lost and most likely emerge looking like Molly Ringwald circa 1986.
