The purpose of literature studies was to make a critical analysis of the concept of retro brand considering the consumer behaviour. The article presents the results of own empirical research in the area of retro brand management. Several examples of brand management; combining retro style with modern technologically developed products; is present in the market. Selected cases were the subject of research conducted in France and Poland in 2015.
