Goth / Alternative Shops in Ireland

boardsie08

Hey guys,

I'm compiling a list of all the gothic/alternative shops around Ireland for an Irish alt site and I must admit it's proving a lil trickier than first thought as google isn't much help!

I'm looking for the likes of Asha in Dublin, Miss Fantasia, Moonshine in Cork, Chaos in Galway etc..

Any of you know of any similar shops in other parts of the country? What else am I missing out on?

Goth, alternative, fetish etc..!

If you happened to have addresses to it would be marvellous!!

Cheers guys!

Living Dead Girl, do you live in Cork?

I'm going down there shopping next week, would love to know what the alt shops down there are.. and where they are!

Am I imagining things or is there a Moonshine shop in Cork? A small pokey place somewhere?

Thanks for any info!: )

It's on George's Quay now - it move around a lot!

See the shiney website: http://www.thefunkyskunk.ie/

Boardsie08, are you looking for more hippyish shops as well or is it just goth ones? There's sometimes a bit of cross-over between the two.

boardsie08

Mainly more gothic ones, but I'm open to all alternative alternatives! lol

chuci

the funky skunk and moonshine are really the only two in cork there is a hippy place just off castle street( the name evades me) it has all the fair trade clothes. what was ancogram again?i remember the name but not the shop.

Waterford:

beyond therapy and pure(deadly skate shop upstairs), there near the apple market in waterford.
and theres a new one in georges court , really small but it does have some nice stuf in there

Rifle

I know I'm a bit late to the party but here's my two cents...

The one on Castle street is called Andean Spirit now. Nice place, but hemp clothing is really expensive (I don't mean just here, but in general...).

Utopianation on Barrack street used to do kind of hippy clothes, now I'm not so sure - http://www.utopianation.com

What about Hale Bopp on Paul Street...Is that still there?

I like to make my own clothes from crepé paper and old bottle caps...but that's just me...

Thought the Funky Skunk was more of a head shop

Lia_lia

Oh I don't know, whatever.
Thy sell a few clothes/jewellery etc so it's not just a head shop.
