Bad Bambi Retro...

Who Are Bad Bambi Retro?

An Idea Is Born...

After a life long struggle with poor mental health and driven on by an inspirational work colleague during one of the lowest points in my life Bad Bambi was born.

We wanted to open a chain of high street stores offering great quality preloved & retro fashion at amazing prices delivering a personalised engaging shopping experience...

Our inspiration for all of this was to raise awareness and funding for mental health causes through selling sustainable ethical fashion...

That is why we gift 10% of all our profits to UK mental health causes.

We stand side by side with everyone fighting the battle of mental illness. We hope we can help drive improvement in mental health services and offer the inspirational message...

That from the darkest situations something wonderful can happen.

Our First Store...

After less than 12 weeks as an on-line business and after 2 small pop up events we took the bold step to open our 1st Bad Bambi high street store. After a mad week of decorating, stock buying and merchandising we opened our doors on the 26th of October 2019 and haven't looked back since...

Our high street stores help our brand grow, our message spread and generate funding that we can gift to UK mental health causes.

Bad Bambi 2.0...

Pontefract joined the Bad Bambi family on the 24th of July 2021...

This was our biggest challenge yet, taking a run down jewellers and turning it into the Bad Bambi experience you all know...

After lots of hard work the store now proudly sits on Salter Row, Pontefract.

We have now added pop culture collectibles and classic 12" & 7" vinyl records to all our stores. Giving you the ultimate retro shopping experience.

In addition to our 2 corner stone stores we have had great success in Cross-gates and Leeds Trinity pop up stores.

Make a Statement With Bad Bambi...

We live in a fast paced throwaway society, which is destroying our environment and the planet as a whole for future generations.

The "Fast Fashion" industry is the planets 2nd biggest polluter.
Over 70 million trees each year are cut down in the production of textiles.
85% of all textiles produced end up in landfill...

At Bad Bambi we want to offer an affordable and sustainable alternative to the fast fashion industry...

We promote reusing fantastic quality pre-loved products to help save the environment.

All our items are hand-picked for people who have a sense of style and individuality but with a willingness to make the world a happier and better place for everyone.

We are also proud to shout about our very own rework and alterations station. Bringing damaged and unloved fabrics and fashion back to life.

Our Core Values ...

Respect

We treat our customers and team members the way we want others to treat us—with care, honesty, and respect.

Rediscover

We promote the value of an engaging shopping experience. Great prices, personalised 1 to 1 customer service and a unique shopping environment and making retail sociable again.

Reuse & Rework

We do our bit to save the earth for the present and future generations to come by only selling the best preloved fashion we can source and reworking tired garments into something new and individual.
