Why do some listings say MADE TO ORDER?
As our physical store is limited to a certain floor/storage space we are not able to keep EVERYTHING you see on the web site in ALL SIZES and COLOURS, so we offer a made to order option where we make up "Upon order" received (We have our own factory!).
DO YOU HAVE EVERYTHING THAT WE SEE ONLINE IN STORE TOO?
In a quick answer no! As some items are made upon order, please keep this in mind when visiting our physical store as NOT EVERYTHING IS OUT ON DISPLAY and will require a few days to make up for you. If you have an urgent event, please try and plan ahead.
I want to send somebody a gift from your store – how does that work?
We can definitely do that for you! Please make sure you say GIFT upon check out in the COMMENT BOX so that our staff know to NOT include an invoice. Alternatively send us an email at retrospective@redhotblue.co.za If you would like to include a little Birthday note, please pop it in the COMMENT section, we are happy to make the lucky person receiving the gift as excited as we are!
I have a Gift Voucher purchased from your old (physical) store can I still use it?
Yes you can*! At this stage our current web site doesn't support vouchers purchased in-store, but please do contact us and we will make the necessary arrangement to make sure you can still get what your heart desires. Send us an email at retrospective@redhotblue.co.za.
*Please note that only vouchers purchased at Retrospective Cape Town in our previous Long Street location (City) are valid, but unfortunately vouchers purchased from the previous (Pretoria and Joburg) stores we are unable to validate as all stores were individually owned
Please see our measurement Guide lines on how to measure yourself. We suggest that each of our online customers invest in a little tape measure to make your purchasing decision that much easier!
