About us

Retro Black was started in 2020 by William and Leah Thompson. When the pandemic hit America, most people had nothing but time on their hands to get creative! As native Detroiters, entrepreneurship has been a major focus in their lives. Paired with Leahs love for fashion and their shared passion for the empowerment of the black community, a brand that features black excellence was a no brainer. Black culture has been the driving force for trends of past and present through music, fashion, phrases, and lifestyle. Retro Blacks brand is inspired by pasts urban style meshed with today’s vibe.
