Denim
Raw, washed, patched and rebuilt. Jackets, jeans and the offcut pieces that get stitched into something else by the afternoon.
The market
Retro Row is the trading floor. Six aisles, sorted by what the clothes are rather than who made them, sold direct by the people who found them.
Six aisles
Tailoring
Suiting, coats and shirting, sorted by cut rather than by size, with alterations available on site.
Sportswear
Jerseys, track tops, running gear and the kind of trainers that are worth more now than the day they were made.
Workwear
Canvas, drill and utility. Built to survive one job, usually good for three more.
Wax and print
Ghanaian print used the way it should be: cut into new pieces, panelled into denim, made into something nobody else has.
Upcycled design
One-off pieces from designers working entirely in reclaimed material. If you see it and want it, buy it. There is no second one.
How buying works
Each stall sets its own prices and takes its own payment. Most vendors accept mobile money as well as cash, and a fair number will hold a piece for twenty minutes while you think about it.
Sizing is not reliable on garments this old, so try things on. There are changing tents on the floor and a tailor working through the day for anything that needs taking in.
Everything sold is secondhand or made from secondhand material. That is the condition of holding a stall here.
