Whilst I was watching this beautiful film in London, my Beyond Retro, Brighton friends were hosting their own curious tea party in honour of the recreation of the ever charming ‘Alice in Wonderland’ tale!

By the looks of things, it was all dreamy teacups and fiesty, swirling dresses! Such a cosy gathering, I bet even the wicked queen would have been made welcome!

Tea Party in Beyond Retro, Brighton

Beyond Retro rules the East End of London, is the rock ‘n’ roll jewel in the West End’s bijou crown and is Brighton’s most voguish vintage hang-out. But don’t forget, we’re clothing connoisseurs in Sweden too! With stores across Stockholm and Gothenburg, we are more than a little excited about our new store, set to open in mid April at Brännkyrkagatan 82, the bohemian block district of Stockholm city. Nestled amidst cosy coffee bars, sparkling nightlife and beautiful green spaces, the new store is sure to lend charm and downtown wonder to the area. So if you are a Swede living in London, or if you are heading over there sometime soon, remember you can still get a Beyond Retro dress up hit!

We look forward to seeing you at Brännkyrkagatan or at any of our stores across Sweden, details of which can be found here on our website.

Top Hats are having a moment! Johnny Depp may be a gloriously insane hatter, but it’s always the glam rock edge I favour with this ‘once upon a time’ formal wear! Of course, Beyond Retro top hats are in style league of their own, with a fabulous story to match!

Photographer Beccy Lindon, was so enchanted by our red top hats (though we have black ones and white too!), she set up an exhibition in its honour! Really!

You can get snapped wearing something so fine and be part of her ‘Top Hat Diary’ project by checking out Beccy’s facebook page! Favoured through the years by magicians and gentlemen alike, the top hat eerily lends itself to any mood: Smart, sassy or straight out of the circus! This is one photo story with a thousand endings!

Top Hat and Dress from Beyond Retro

If you fancy grabbing your own top hat from Beyond Retro, they are available at all our stores, priced £45

At Beyond Retro, we are constantly wowed by our visual display maverick at Cheshire Street! It’s not a fantasy, noone does ‘Alice’ dress up better than Kristofj Von Strass (well maybe Tim Burton, but even then, only just!)

Come down and see our display and maybe, if you peek through the magic Beyond Retro doors, you’ll also spy some fabulous spring stock, like pastel tops, floral dresses and tulle skirts! Perfect daywear for an  ‘Alice in Wonderland’ inspired day out!
