Our Story
2024 marks our 30th year in e-commerce, selling vintage on a variety of platforms and marketplaces.
I (the owner) am an anthropologist, jewelry collector, and silversmith, and began selling vintage jewelry and beads on BITNET via Usenet and Listserv groups, in the early 1990s.
By 1997, we had moved our business to eBay and by 2008, we transitioned once again to Etsy. Today, we continue to share our love and passion for all things vintage, primarily fashion and jewelry items, via our website here at Metro Retro Vintage.
The Vintage Life
My articles have appeared in a variety of commercial and online publications, and although it's been awhile since I've last blogged, you can read some of my writings here.
