Beyond Retro in Arkaden has more than 15,000 unique garments. Visit Sweden describes it as Sweden’s largest vintage store. The selection spans 1990s sportswear and Levi’s jeans, as well as festive clothes for costume and theme parties. The garments are handpicked, with the selection curated around sustainability, style and personality.

Arkaden is in Gothenburg’s main shopping district. The central location makes the shop easy to combine with other vintage shopping around the city, according to Visit Sweden. Visitors can browse for everyday pieces such as sportswear or jeans, or look for an outfit for a costume or theme party.

Beyond Retro began in London in 2002. The chain has shops in Sweden, the UK and Finland, and Visit Sweden describes it as one of Europe’s most influential vintage retailers. The company is part of a wider movement for circular fashion. Its buy-back programme and collaborations with well-known brands are part of its effort to change how people consume clothes, alongside a community of vintage lovers.
