Backward Glances has been your one-stop vintage clothing store since 1985!
We specialize in fashions from the 40’s to the 80’s, including many original deadstock, never worn finds.
I’ve always been into playing dress up.
As a child I progressed from fringed vests to disco dresses. Halloween was always my favorite holiday, then the Rocky Horror Picture Show made it Halloween every weekend. Punk rockers inspired me to mix vintage into my wardrobe and I was hooked.
Great-grandpa (on Dad’s side) was a junkman. Great-grandma (on Mom’s side) owned her own fashionable shop. Put them together and you get Backward Glances.
We’ve been selling vintage clothing, cool t-shirts, costumes and collectibles in our vintage clothing store since 1985. We started our website in 1999, and now ship all over the world.
We’ve previously been in three different locations in Red Bank, NJ. Now we’re happily settled in the historic shore city of Asbury Park, NJ.
I personally hand-pick every item at Backward Glances, and would love to help you find your special look.
Take a spin around the website. And you will always find many more one-of-a-kind vintage fashions at our retail store. Hope you can come by and say Hello!
Fashionably yours,
Cindy
