Stussy London Closes...
The Stussy store in Covent Garden closed its doors for the last time yesterday. Their stock can be found in The Hideout for the foreseeable future, but the question still remains....Whats happening to streetwear in London?
All the best to the man Judah and all the other people that made that store what it was.

Thats a shame. Only 'streetwear' store in london that was worthwhile.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to some independents taking advantage of the absence of competition and coming through now the big boys have fallen.
Hope the staff go onto bigger and better things!
dam shame
ReplyDeletehold tight everyone at stussy
ReplyDeleteDefinatly gonna miss it.
ReplyDeletehow come it closed?
ReplyDeletewent in once before i wasnt too impressed!
What were you expecting?
ReplyDeletedamn shame man!
ReplyDeletestaff were actually cool aswell.
what is going on with streetwear in London?
first bond now stussy. who next?
Ollie do a store down there!
nows the time!!
arhhhhhhh for fuck sake, what a liberty!!
ReplyDeleteActually im not that surprised, it was in the oddest location, no one could ever find it. deep tho
odd location? Thats defintly not why it shut mate
ReplyDeleteIt was in a very central and easy to find location you mug!
ReplyDeleteI saw this with my own eyes today, gutted.
ReplyDeleteLocation was fine, people were fiiiine.
Not good at all.
Hideout will close soon..
ReplyDeleteIt'll all be under one roof.
^
ReplyDeleteyeah i thought this was gonna be the original plan, as a source told me waaaaaaay back . . .
all the shops were to be closed during december . . .
and then they were gonna make a super store with 3floors and shit
will just have to wait and c
^
ReplyDeleteOld news. Im only interested in facts now!
Another one bites the dust...Another victim of the credit crunch. The saga contiunes.....when will it end
ReplyDeleteone of the staff told me that there not sure yet but they've been told they might open the store somewhere else
ReplyDeleteIsn't there loads of Stussy in Slam?
ReplyDeleteThis is particularly shite because Hideout or the Stussy Europe website possibly won't get any future limited edition stuff that was exclusive to the UK store (ie. the Japanese Harringtons etc).
ReplyDeleteshame. good store, location was perfect, don't know what annons are bitching about. Streetwear in London is just taking a blip, it'll be back. But I think you gotta buy more consciously now, look for the hidden gems.
ReplyDeleteWorst global recession in modern history... Pricey chinos and ltd edition lumberjack shirts seem to be dropping off people's 'essentials' list.
ReplyDeleteNICK LEWISS!!!!!!! ESSAY WRITERS NOT WELCOME!
ReplyDeleteyawn
ReplyDelete^^^ why you here then you tit
ReplyDeleteStores online seem to be the way forward but are they? Never the same as good old shop.
ReplyDeleteNot too surprising really. the people have spoken - overpriced flash flagship stores ain't where its at right now.
ReplyDeletejust the way the world works
ReplyDeleteSad to see the shop go. Again another case of landlords asking for crazy money in this current climate. Gonna miss the guys in there esp Jude, Chris and Dom. Covent Garden is going down the pan! Nothing to bring people into the area now.
ReplyDeleteStores moving online is the forward insofar as you don't have to pay (anything like as much) rent.
ReplyDeleteThe rent for a commercial property in central London, especially Covent Garden, must be astronomical.
tiz a shame but such is life, they'll be back in a new location when the shit dies down...
