The Retro Collection sells beautifully restored, mostly mid-century furniture and unique items on their Instagram account. Everything is kept in a storage unit in Constantia Kloof while each piece gets photographed and advertised on Instagram. It’s a pretty efficient setup. They also source items for buyers, if you’re looking for something specific.
