Hello fellow Vintage Lovers! Thank you for stopping by and checking out So50s. A very warm welcome to our fabulous site. I guess you are here because, like us, you are passionate about all things retro. I hope you enjoy looking at our colourful collection of retro and kitsch items. We are positive that you will find something that takes your fancy!
Since I was a teenager I have loved collecting only the best items from the 50s, 60s and 70s and have filled our retro home with beautiful examples iconic to these eras. My name So50s originated many moons ago when a dear friend who was visiting my house exclaimed 'Wow, you are so fifties Sophie!' From that moment So50s retro was born.

Having loved vintage all my adult life I of course have some favourites. I hope you enjoy seeing some of my own pieces, please keep stopping by as there will be some of my own private collection coming up for sale very soon. Homemaker was designed by Enid Sweeney in 1957 for the Ridgeway potteries and was sold in Woolworths for just two and a half pence a piece.

Really liked the shop and it’s great vintage pieces which were reasonably priced. We appreciated the service provided by the owner who was kind and helpful to us in store, even arranging to post a garment to us later at our request, which arrived promptly. I’m very happy with my purchase. This shop is well worth a visit, and we highly recommend it. Amy Vandoros (S.W. London)

A large variety of original vintage stock which is great quality and hard to come by, particularly in today’s difficult times! Hundreds of mixed clothes too, all in lovely condition. A very colourful and bright positive place! Always a friendly hello from staff who are always available keen to assist and answer questions . Like all small independent shops works tirelessly and needs support and kindness to survive.

This shop is just so beautifully set out in everything retro and vintage. Although I mainly go for the clothing, there's something for everyone, including amazing decor for the home and collectibles. I'm always amazed at how there's always different things every time I visit. The majority of my wardrobe is clothes from this shop and I always get complimented on what I wear. Although it's not currently possible to try things on, Sophie has an amazing knack of being able to tell what will fit. I've been to a fair few vintage/retro shops and I can tell you SO50s is great value and high quality. It

I love this little gem of a shop in Lee-on-Solent! Not only does it have fabulous clothing and accessories, it has so many treasures from bygone days which bring back so many memories. I have bought coats, bags, and some wonderful accessories for Goodwood Revival last year. I would highly recommend a visit to the shop to see for yourself!
