Rhubarb Jumble was born from my genuine love of old things.

Growing up, I was always fascinated by auction houses and junk shops. Finding a scarab beetle necklace or a piece of Portmeirion Totem amongst a box of rusty ironmongery was my idea of a treasure hunt.

By 2011, I had acquired such a mammoth collection of vintage clothes and accessories, my G plan wardrobe was fit to burst. I started selling my own wares at markets and fairs around the UK. Trading opened my eyes to the real joy I get out of seeing fellow enthusiasts love something as much as I do.

In August 2014, Rhubarb Jumble expanded to include vintage homewares and furniture, and North Street in South Bristol became our home for ten wonderful years, until our exciting move to a gorgeous, bigger shop on Gloucester Road in 2024.

Since then, a merry band of talented individuals have joined the team, each of them passionate about vintage, with a love for stories and a great sense of style. Rhubarb Jumble is like a family – people come and go, and do move on to other jobs, but they never really leave. 

We’re proud to offer hand-picked unique vintage pieces from Europe, USA and the UK, with a particular fondness for the mid century aesthetic. We source the best vintage we can, ensuring all the treasures you find here are high quality and affordable. 

At Rhubarb Jumble, we stock clothing from the 1940s all the way up to a large selection of 80s clothing. We’re size inclusive, and always actively trying to source and stock more plus size vintage. We have seemingly infinite 60s hair accessories, as well as beautiful vintage jewellery and other accessories. Plus hoards of mid century furniture and homeware – we’ve got so much 70s goodness for you to find.

You’ll never know what you might find here at Rhubarb Jumble. From a 60s shift dress to an 80s raincoat, from a velvet wingback chair to a melamine butter dish.
