Streetwear Gossip
Hard times are biting for independent retailers and the signs are there to be read.
Cide the core London skateboard shop run by some of the UK’s leading skateboard professionals has closed down. Exstores which we count has owning 10 shops is closing all of them. Exstores formed in September 04 after the purchase of Legends, a long established and core lifestyle retailer.
We also hear and it’s confirmed that Fenchurch Clothing who wouldn’t allow us to stock them for a number of seasons due to us not being core enough for them are now kicking their independent retailers in the teeth and supplying Republic. So shortly you will be able to buy your Fenchurch at knock down prices on any highstreet and the cult following it currently has will leave in the droves and as will most of it’s independent shop base. The start of the end for Fenchurch we predict.
