At Retrowaves, every product is created by hand right here in the USA, specifically New York's beloved Hudson Valley and Hamptons. No factories, no mass production—just real craftsmanship, creativity, and sustainability. By sourcing materials locally and upcycling discarded items, we create unique, one-of-a-kind pieces while reducing waste. Supporting small businesses means supporting ethical, American-made goods with a purpose!

HOW WE GOT OUR NAME
RETRO = something associated with or revived from the past
WAVE = a sudden occurrence of or increase in a specified phenomenon feeling or emotion (eg. a wave of new eco-conscious trendsetters)
***
We're all about reviving the past and riding the wave of a new movement—where nostalgia meets sustainability. We take forgotten treasures and give them new life, creating a wave of eco-conscious creativity that’s as timeless as it is transformative.
OUR MISSION
We believe in transforming the forgotten into something extraordinary. Every piece we create is handcrafted from reclaimed materials, giving new life to items that would otherwise go to waste. Rooted in sustainability, creativity, and craftsmanship, our work blends art with purpose—ensuring that no two pieces are ever exactly the same. By upcycling with intention, we aim to reduce waste, celebrate individuality, and inspire a deeper appreciation for handmade, small-batch goods.

"Let's ride the wave toward a more sustainable future - where creativity, community, and conscious living never go out of style."

how it works
We’re a bit different, and here’s how it works! You can shop one-of-a-kind pieces—once it’s sold, it’s gone! No mass production here. Alternatively, reach out for custom orders. While we’re not set up for online payments yet, we’ll work with you to make it happen. For example, if you have a favorite jacket with a stain, we can revive it by covering the stain with personalized embroidery. Simply upload a photo of your item, and we’ll collaborate on a solution. You can also find us IRL at local farmers markets and more—click "find us in person" for upcoming locations! Have any questions? Reach out to us: info@retrowavesny.com.
