Editorial Review for Retrospect – by Lauren McCutcheon

In Short
Tinged with incense and irony, this spacious store boasts bright retro wares in tall windows along South Street. Inside, neatly divided sections of men's, women's and kids' clothing--plus a generous amount of home accessories--offer select vintage pieces garnered from remote donations. All profits benefit Goodwill Industries' job-training programs.

User Reviews for Retrospect

2 Star Rating: Below Average

Last time I went in the staff gave me that attitude like I was wasting their time coming in. The selection wasnt that great and I agree twith the other reviews that the quality is just thrift-shop (which makes sense since all the clothes are Goodwill). I didn't buy anything and probably won't go back. It's just charity gone corporate and I'd rather support the boutique shops.

Pros: really big

Cons: poor qulaity, bad staff

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

so, first off, if you are too lazy to go driving around to every village thrift and goodwill in the tristate area every day, then this is a good stop for you. the prices reflect that they have to do that for you, so while they might not be at the same price scale as second hand stores, they are much much cheaper then NY, SF, or LA vintage prices. i have been to vintage stores like it for years in every major city and much smaller ones, and it actually is priced quite reasonably, especially the jeans, which you can get mavi and lucky's for $9. that is actually the only thing i end up buying there, but i have much better luck there then anywhere else, and now that gas is so expensive i don't relaly go random thrifting anymore.

Pros: awesome, close to my house, hot boys

Cons: no band shirts, on south st, dusty
