About Us

Banging retro stylings for a girl like you. Curated by a girl like you. It’s your time to shine.

AS A CURVY GIRL, I SPENT A FORTUNE IMPORTING CLOTHES I LIKED.

My journey began in 2016

2nd April, 2016, to be exact! Cheribomb Retro is a wholly Australian based and owned retro and vintage inspired boutique for women sized 8 – 32.  We specialise in gorgeous retro and vintage style dresses predominantly inspired by the ’40s and ’50s. We offer AfterPay, ZipPay, Humm, LayBy, PayPal and Credit Card payment options. All stock (unless otherwise advised) is held in our private warehouse in Sydney, Australia.

BECAUSE NOT EVERY BODY IS THE SAME

We celebrate all our differences

It’s is the labour of love for me, Cheri Smith-Kerr – who has a long love of 50s and 60s fashion and started out haunting the vintage clothes shops in Fremantle. I started Cheribomb Retro because I was over paying exhorbitant shipping for the brands that I adore from overseas

THOUGH WE’RE 8 YEARS YOUNG

We’re just getting started

We stock gorgeous dresses, skirts, tops, lingerie, cardigans and more, and have a stock of plus size dresses sizes 26-32 . Looking for a particular dress that you just can’t find? Let us find it for you – contact us

2024 Update: What's this Second Love business? 

I've been kicking around the idea of introducing Second Love and Giving Back to Cheribomb Retro for a couple of years now, because I have this innate need to give back, contribute to the health of our planet and her people, in whatever way I can.

But I just couldn't figure out the HOW. I wanted to ensure that my ethos, inclusivity, not exclusivity was followed, but I wanted to make other stuff better. And while  I realise that my efforts here - one woman, a greyhound and a love of vintage style stuff are the smallest, tiniest drop in an enormous ocean, I had to do it.  

So I decided to jump in with both feet and just do it, and Second Love was born.
Your first love is easy, until it's not and you learn so much along the way.
