“Raspberry waistcoat! Just the job for my special occasion!”

David R.
London, UK

“Faaaaaaaaab bag I Luuuuuuuuuuv Vendula bags 💖 and I was made up to find coffee shop bag on Retroesque. Bag is totally Gorgeous. This is the first time I've ordered from this store. I was really pleased with service and delivery.”

Patricia O.
Brighton, UK

“Everything went well. Very good communication, quick delivery of the order. The only problem we are all suffering from was that we had to pay approx. 10% customs duty on delivery!”

Eduard W.
Manchester, UK

“Edith flat shoes So comfortable,my second pair. Fabulous service,and lovely packaging 😍😍”

Adrienne T.
Leeds, UK

“Fabulous service from Retroesque After several failed attempts to source these shoes elsewhere, I'd almost given up hope. However Georgina at Retroesque came to the rescue assuring me they did have my size, and the burgundy colour I wanted, in stock. They were posted same day and I love them! Thank you so much.”

Lyndsey C.
Norwich, UK

“Easy to wear dress I bought this dress to wear on a date. It is soooooo comfortable to wear and fitted perfectly. I also had loads of compliments which made me feel even better.”

Yvonne C.
Glasgow, UK

“Great Vendula seller! Great bag, very well packaged and prompt dispatch. Very friendly, helpful company, would buy from again without hesitation.”

Sarah W.
Birmingham, UK

“Gift Card I bought the gift card for a friend for her birthday. Super easy to purchase and was done in minutes. My friend bought the Edith shoes. Definitely buy from you again. Thank you 🙏”

Sue K.

Doris U.

“Gorgeous gloves that I wore Gorgeous gloves that I wore with a flapper dress. Unfortunately they slipped down my slim arms as soon as I started dancing the Charleston!”

Jennifer M.
Liverpool, UK

“Adoreable! Absolutely adore it! One of the first things that happened however was that a small green plastic flower got detached and fell off so I am going to have to glue it back myself haha. Still useable!”

Lovis T.
Coventry, UK

“Perfect for the Revival This dress was pretty and very well made from fabric that draped well and didn’t crease. The sleeves were not too short and the neckline was nicely finished. All in all, very happy with my purchase.”

Peta J.
Bath, UK

“Best retro shoes ever! I absolutely love these, they are so perfect for completing a vintage outfit but look great with anything.There are so many occasions that I have worn them such as attending the races, days out in Brighton and vintage events. It solved the dilemma of wanting to look like a pin up girl whilst not sinking in the mud or suffering from sore feet all day. I want these in every colour ❤ they have quickly become my go to shoe for spring/summer.”

Georgina G.
York, UK

“Petticoat and Belt The delivery was quick a lovely thank you card inside . Petticoat nice and fluffy good material and great fitting belt.”

Marion A.
Reading, UK

“Wonderful shoes! So comfortable and a beautiful colour on real life. Couldn’t be happier. Would love a pair in white!!”

Emily R.
Newcastle, UK

“Great product and fantastic customer service The product is exactly as described. It arrived very quickly within 2 business days of ordering. It was packaged very carefully. I love the personalised note I received with it. It was obvious that the seller really aims at exceeding customer expectations”

Lina I.
Leicester, UK

“Love this shoe! Great colour in a comfortable and original design - this is the third pair of these shoes I have bought (in different colours!) ’cos I love them so much.”

Sophie W.
Cambridge, UK

“Edith Burgundy Shoes Absolutely love my new shoes. They are so comfortable and the colour is amazing. I love the quick release strap too. Definitely will be buying another pair in a different colour. Thank you so much x”

Leeann S.
Canterbury, UK

“I love this skirt! It is machine washable and has pockets, a rare combination. The pockets are big enough both for my phone and a small packet of tissues. The hook and eye above the zip on the skirt helps the zip sit flat on the skirt. It fits really well, the waist band sits where you do up the skirt rather than slipping..”
