Why "Retr" and "INK"?

At RetrINK, we're fuelled by creativity and our immense love for retro and nostalgia. That's why we chose the name "RetrINK" – it perfectly captures our passion for blending the old-school charm of retro with the timeless artistry of ink.

Retro:* We're obsessed with all things retro, from vintage aesthetics, 80s-90s movies to classic vibes. It's a nostalgic journey back to the good old days.

INK:* Ink represents creativity, expression, and permanence. It's the medium through which we bring our unique designs to life which we produce from scratch further fuelling our creativity.

A Surprising Discovery: Legendary Meaning

What's even more incredible is that "RetrINK" also means "legendary." It's a happy coincidence that perfectly aligns with our mission to create iconic, unforgettable experiences for our customers.
