WHO WE ARE
About Retro Whimsy
Retro Whimsy began “on a whim and a prayer” after a lifetime spent working in the community, government, and corporate sectors. That same passion and curiosity now shape our Redcliffe boutique, a space filled with antiques, vintage pieces, and collectables that celebrate the charm of the past. We buy and sell unique finds sourced from local auctions, deceased estates, and downsizing homes, each carrying its own history and character.
Every corner of the shop reflects care and creativity, inviting visitors to slow down, explore, and enjoy the thrill of discovery.
You’ll find us at The Walk Arcade, Shop 9, 116 Sutton Street, Redcliffe, open Wednesdays through Sundays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., where there’s always something new to discover.
Found Treasures
Our Found Treasures collection is an ever-changing trove of curiosities, from vintage jewellery, ceramics, and art glass to retro memorabilia, bric-a-brac, and pop culture collectables. We handpick each for their individuality and a piece of history that sparks conversation and connection. Every visit feels like a treasure hunt, where discovery and nostalgia intertwine. Collectors and casual browsers alike will find pieces that capture attention, spark curiosity, and bring a little magic into their homes.
Book Nook
The Book Nook is a quiet corner for readers and dreamers. Browse through illustrated children’s tales, classic literature, art and photography collections, and historical volumes—each with a past as rich as its pages. These books have been lovingly preserved and handpicked to inspire reflection and curiosity. For collectors or casual readers, this space celebrates the beauty of words and the joy of discovery that never fades.
Furnishing Touches
Our Furnishing Touches range blends mid-century style, antique grace, and retro flair to create homes filled with soul. We have tables, chairs, lamps, and artworks that can make a room feel truly lived in. These pieces don’t just fill a space; they give it meaning. Bring warmth, texture, and authenticity to your home with décor shaped by time and chosen with care.
New Arrivals
Our New Arrivals section celebrates discovery: the excitement of seeing something rare, something real. Each week brings a changing mix of furniture, décor, books, and collectables, all chosen for their quality, history, and personality. Because at Retro Whimsy, no two visits are ever the same. Every new piece carries its own story, waiting for the right home to continue it.
