Ben & Raw Retro
Ben's journey began with a passion of all things vintage from a young age where he found beauty in the craftsmanship and the timeless appeal of retro appeal.
As Ben's passion for vintage homeware evolved, he started to notice the similarities between the enduring appeal of vintage décor and the fashion of past eras. He began to see how the same principles of quality, craftsmanship, and style that made vintage homeware so desirable could be applied to clothing. And thus, Raw Retro, a sustainable clothing brand, was born.
From Homeware to Fashion
Ben's background in homeware and all things retro collided in a unique way with his passion for fashion, giving birth to Raw Retro's signature style. Taking inspiration from mid-century modern design, 60s and 70s psychedelia, and 80s new wave – eras that celebrated individuality, creativity, and self-expression.
Our clothing line is designed to evoke the same sense of nostalgia and timelessness as our beloved homeware collection. We use high-quality materials, sustainable manufacturing practices, and attention to detail to create pieces that are not only stylish but also durable and long-lasting.
Sustainability at the Heart
At Raw Retro, we believe that fashion can be both beautiful and sustainable. That's why we're committed to reducing waste, minimizing our environmental impact, and promoting a culture of reuse and recycling. We source our materials from eco-friendly suppliers whenever and encourage our customers to recycle or donate their used clothing where possible.
