Our Story

Hi, I'm Akshat, the founder of Retro Cartel.

I've been running Retro Cartel since day one, driven by a genuine love for vintage clothing and the thrill of thrifting. What started in 2022 as a personal passion for discovering unique pieces soon became a mission to share that passion with others who appreciate timeless style and individuality.

For me, vintage clothing is more than fashion. Every piece has its own history, character, and personality that simply can't be replicated. I wanted to create a place where people could discover authentic vintage finds without the hassle of searching through endless thrift stores, while knowing that every item had been carefully selected.

Every product you see at Retro Cartel is handpicked with quality, originality, and wearability in mind. From faded graphic tees and classic denim to vintage jackets and rare finds, I personally curate the collection to ensure each piece is something I'd proudly wear myself.

Since launching, Retro Cartel has grown from an online passion project into a recognized vintage brand. In 2024, we were proud to showcase our collection at Lil Flea Mumbai, and we've also hosted two successful pop-up events in Rajkot, connecting with an amazing community of fellow vintage enthusiasts.

Retro Cartel is built on the belief that great style doesn't follow trends—it creates them. Thank you for being part of this journey and supporting independent vintage culture. I can't wait to keep discovering incredible pieces and sharing them with you.
