            do they not have real shops in Brighton selling that kind of stuff? :crazy_diz I would have thought out of all the places in England outside maybe London there would be loads of ’em :you_crazy

            if the whole concept of Brighton is to be a sustainable progressive / alternative enclave surely the area needs local businesses like that?

                hopefully JamZandwich found whatever he was looking for but I’m still intrigued about whether there are any succesful alternative shops in Brighton… anyone (smokeitup perhaps) know?

                  as a random visiter – so I may not know or have found the nooks and crannies –

                  but last time I was there it was very much the same as any major city – superdry, cult clothing and the same old same old…..

                    there was about 3 such shops in Ipswich, run mostly by people our age but they closed down or went online only due to the economic depression. However there isn’t as much of a alternative scene here, other than skaters and hipsters – one lot seem to get their clothes out of charity shops and dress like fops and dandies of the late 19th / early 20th centuries, the others now dress like brighter emos/Nathan Barley.

                    This is safer though than emos as I don’t end up nearly running them over on my bike…

                        I quite like this look –

                        however I think you need to be very good humoured to pull it off :laugh_at:

                          I like happy style. There’s nothing wrong with not wearing labels…

                            hippie clothes are great until you put them through the wash and then all the stuffing goes to one end and weird things start happening. so strange because when you see hippies, they never seem to have this problem with their clothes. i wonder what their secret is??? 😉

                                yeah there’s loads of cool little shops down the lanes in brighton, we used to go down to brighton just to go to some of them when I lived in crawley. got a nice little record shop there too on the square (not sure if it’s still there now though).

                                    Yeah thats “Rounder Records” owned by skint records, so its got tons of fat boy slim in there. But it is a sweet shop though. There is really good shop on trafalger street that sells hippy clothes AND acid trance and psytrance records.

                                    As biotech says the key is your post. Washing clothes kinda contradicts the whole hippy image.

                                    I’m not sure I asked you this on msn earlyer … memories a bit fail atm, did you ever goto the record shop “SmuDJ” in crawley?
