Whats the name of the shop near the Custard Factory?

I'm sure when Ideal and skate clothing companies can afford to buy stock in as huge quantities as handm and prime ark, and can sell as fast to as large a market, they will be selling poor quality T-shirts from Bangladesh for £3 too. Or not.

But in the meantime the rules of supply and demand will apply and stuff from skate shops and similar places will seem expensive to the average person.

Although having said that, I am guilty of not supporting my local skate shop by buying trainers from tea kay maximus... the logic being there's no point spending £60 on trainers that are going to be used as brakes and will get shredded by DMR V8 pedals.

Most skate shoe companies are now getting there stuff made in massive scales in China. The shoes and clothing are now mainstream enough to warrant this.

ALL the skate shoes, and much of the other trainers too that are in TK Maxx are manufacturer samples from the Guanzhou Trade Market in China. That is why there is no boxes, and the ocassional really really weird design's.

A few of the t-shirts/clothing etc, remains "boutique" made on the same scales (and therefore same pricing) as non-mainstream streetwear.
