Everything in the shop is either personally sourced by or created by Emma, who says “ I am an avid collector of anything that reminds me of my youth.”
Meet Emma
Emma Lowe is the founder of Randomly Retro, with a background in retail, creativity and a long-standing passion for second-hand treasures. Emma has spent 25 years working in charity retail, gaining practical insight into what makes a shop feel inviting, engaging and well-curated.
She also ran a vintage stall at Gravesend Market, building strong ties to the local community and developing her own distinctive style, shaped by nostalgia, sustainability and a passion for upcycling.
Opening Randomly Retro in the St George's Centre marks Emma’s first step into running a shop space of her own and she’s looking forward to welcoming customers in person at the Green Pod from 21st May.
“Opening my business was the opportunity to share my passion,” says Emma. “I’ve always been a crafter and collector and I love anything that reminds me of the past.”
