They have a great range of vintage (and some new) stuff to browse through. Clothing, furniture, books, jewellery, accessories, ornaments, footwear. Allow at least half an hour to look around.

An incredible, ever changing art installation that you get to own pieces of. Must be experienced!

Wifey got to shop I got to fly my drone around & we scored some vintage woollen baby clothes. Love the Lounge suites setups.

Wow, if you're looking for retro gear this place has got it, do yourself a favour, you'll find it hard to resist bringing something home.

I would give this store a one star based off my experience (too much bitcoin merch, too loud, too crowded) BUT my partner and some of my friends get a lot of enjoyment from this place so I guess its a "depends on who you are" kinda deal

Its got some rlly cool stuff but its always rlly loud, stuffy and hard to navigate (and not in a fun way)
i also think its a shame they sell so many Bitcoin patches. If you're gonna do anything crypto related in a store all about being "retro" at least be a crypto currency that is less scammy then Bitcoin

Had an item sold to me on facebook marketplace but when I went down 2 hours after sealing the deal, it was sold to someone else. Wasted time driving down and absolutely lack of policy and standards at this business.

Edit: You mentioned that it was sold that morning, however, it was still available on facebook marketplace at 1pm.

This is a great place and well worth a visit. If you have never been you need to allow at least a couple of hours as the range of items is vast. Lots of Vintage Clothes and Shoes along with retro lamps and fittings. Another bonus is the music they play which tends to match the retro era of the store. The staff are pretty cool too.

Its like a super organized warehouse of little op shops that are neatly spaced out so one can loiter and find cool stuff!

Too focused on what the owner wants to put around instead of being organised and being able to find things. Specifically talking about clothing and accessories

Mixed bag of treasures, from the really quite old to quite new, need to know your stuff if you want something time or value specific. Worth a quiet Saturday wander, lots of stuff to look at.

Most definitely the best second-hand shop I have ever been to. Superbly curated with a wide selection of everything you can think of, plus some pleasantly bizarre decorations and knick-knacks. Set aside at least two-three hours and enjoy these fantastically selected slices of human culture.

A really affordable and quirky space. It has a huge variety of vintage and antique items and friendly staff to help you. One of the most affordable vintage places in Melbourne! I will be a regular customer for sure.

Retropolis- I could spend hours here, just looking (and trying not to buy the pretty things) So many beautiful rare and one of a kind treasures. Always new things each time I go so it's another few hours each time. I love this place.
