Why Retro Active?

Ever wish you hadn’t thrown out that old denim jacket with the 150 buttons on it?  Wish you’d held onto those great concert T-shirts, especially the ones of bands that are all but defunct now?  Ever wish you could get a hold of some of that stuff now, then spent hours and days in front of a computer hunting thru the million and one websites, or worse, spent a fortune on Ebay?  Well, we did too!  Now we’ve put it all together for you, we’ve done the leg work and created a one in a million shopping experience for you!  Shopretroactive.com puts it all right in front of you: the movies, music, TV shows, brand names and all the best of 80s pop culture at the click of a mouse!  Enjoy browsing our catalog, the gallery of images, past & present, and stay up to date on what’s going on in the world of the 80s revival.  Get involved by letting us know what you are in to, take our 80s Survey, or send an idea for our newsletter.  Plus, revolve with us as the years pass and more things become “retro”.  We’re gonna ride this wave as far as it will go, and we hope you come along too!!!

Our Mission Statement:

To provide a ridicule-free shopping experience for all the original Yuppies, Valley Girls, Hair band enthusiasts, Boy-Band-Obsessing, Brat Pack-Loving fans of the 80s and its peripheral years.  To offer a unique supply of nostalgic, decade-specific, hard-to-find items of the 80s by way of retail and e-commerce!
