About OnlyRetro

Welcome to OnlyRetro

OnlyRetro is South Africa's trusted destination for high-quality retro-inspired accessories, gadgets, and lifestyle products. Based in Berea, KwaZulu-Natal, we specialise in bringing you carefully curated vintage-style products that combine classic aesthetics with modern functionality across multiple categories.

Our Story

OnlyRetro was born from a unique blend of entrepreneurial expertise and genuine passion for timeless style. Founded by an entrepreneur with over 13 years of ecommerce experience, who has built successful digital agencies and authored books on leadership, failure, and success, the company represents more than just another online store.

The inspiration came from an unexpected source: a personal collection of vintage sunglasses. What started as a love for retro accessories evolved into a mission to share these incredible finds with fellow South Africans who understand that true style never goes out of fashion. We bridge the gap between nostalgic design and contemporary functionality, ensuring South African consumers have access to premium accessories without the hassle of international shipping complications or hidden customs fees.
