  • exist/hobos
  • Hypervalue...and the Coop..
  • I found this fab shop called Little Nation. They sell designer clothes for kids like Diesel Ted Baker Levi Ralph Lauren and even Christian Dior! I bought a Dior bottle for my niece and it cost me 20 quid but it is really special!! The shop is by the boutiques that are around the corner from the bus station.
  • TWISTED LOADS OF COOL BRANDS SKATE GEAR (OXFORD ST)

  • ANN SUMMERS IS THE BEST (for no main reason)!!!!1111
  • ONCE WE ASKED THE GUY IN THE SHOP IF IT WAS OPEN(BUT COS HE HAD A LISP)HE SAID 'NO. ITS CLOTHED
  • So many to choose from, whereever you look in Swansea there will be one near by.
  • Topshop, Oasis and Warehouse if you have any style. New Look, dont even bother, unless you like the 'tacky' look
  • Barker, Twisted, Hobos and Rolemodel all near each other at the end of the pedestrianised half of Oxford st. Barker do nice clothes at discount warehouse prices. The atmosphere is pretty chilled out in there and the girl behind the counter is fit! Rolemodel (above Hobos) do skatewear, although it tends to be a bit pricey. Good stereo stocked full of bands you've never heard of though. Hobos do funky seventies clothing and it's worth going in there just to see some of the 70s memorabilia they have as decoration. The bloke who runs it is really friendly as well. Twisted provide alternative clothing for alternative people and the whole 'Alternative Swansea' scene seems to revolve around this shop. All four of these shops featured also carry a lot of flyers for alternative club nights in Swansea so it's worth popping in just to pick up a few and check out what's on.
  • twisted... sell everthing any mosher will ever need !! (above derrick's !) and the farm ( formally camelot )
  • TENOVUS...theres one in mumbles. I bought a jumper with a bit of pot noodle on it but it was nice
  • There is a good hot stall i know of on saturdays sometimes by the sea front, there is this women called karen davies who works in ntl and she has all the top ofr the range gear for sale...now you know who robbed oxfam in swansea
  • none of any quality have to travel many miles for decent shopping
  • Phil Pritchards!!!!!!!! If you won't some real baggy clothes go there, won't say anything for how long they last tho! Barkers are really good-always a 'closing down' sale there!
  • Umm, go to hobos for funk, winkies for hippy and Rock, leather shop also has a good rock jacket and jeans range. Twisted Clothing is above Derricks, which is good if you're a gimp who has to wear a linkin' park hoodie. I have no respect for guys who shop there. Nice bondage gear for chicks, though.....
  • barkers, full of the usual twats who give you funny looks if you walk in "hello do any of you work here?"
