Est. 1955 · Sebastopol, California
We've been gathering the good stuff on Petaluma Ave for over seventy years. One-of-a-kind pieces, thoughtfully chosen, waiting to find their way home.
Our Story
Retrospect opened its doors on Petaluma Avenue back in 1955, and something about this corner of Sebastopol just feels like the right place to do business. We started as a small curio shop — the kind of place where you'd wander in looking for one thing and leave with three you didn't know you needed.
Over the decades, the inventory has shifted and grown, but the spirit hasn't: we still believe in pieces with a story, in the kind of shopping that feels like a conversation, and in treating every person who walks through our door like a neighbor. That's the Retrospect way.

What We Carry
Every item on our shelves has been hand-picked. We look for quality, character, and the kind of pieces that make you stop and smile.
From mid-century finds to gently loved treasures, our vintage selections are sourced with care. Each piece has a past — and a future with you.
We support fellow Sonoma County makers and carry goods from people who take pride in what they create. Shopping here means supporting your community.
