What is Second Love?

We are so excited to announce the trial launch of Second Love - an initiative to save you money, save the planet and help your wallet.

What is Second Love?

Second Love is a peer to peer platform consisting of a  curated range of samples, seconds, deadstock and gently used well known retro brand names such as Hell Bunny, Collectif, Tatyana, Unique Vintage - and so many more in the waiting wings!

We are trialing the launch with trusted partners - some loyal customers, and some fellow shop owners, but soon we will be opening to more sellers. 

How Do I know if an item is part of the Second Love range?

Every Second Love item is denoted by the cute little Second Love badge. When you are looking at the gorgeous goodies on the Cheribomb Retro website, you will see items with the the badge in the upper right hand corner.

Cheribomb Retro has been in the vintage game since 2016 - we will vet and approve each and every item that is listed for sale.  We will only allow good quality known brands for sale. There are also checks and measures for sellers and buyers that we have in place.

Needs Some TLC - please read item description very carefully, this garment may have some faults.
