Buying clothes that are different in Cornwall can be a hard thing to do when most of the town centres are full of the same shops selling the same stuff that's all been mass produced in sweatshops in china or Bangladesh. Now Cornwall has 3 main shopping towns before people go to Plymouth for more of the same or on to Exeter which is the closets city to have different stuff as many independent shops still exist. The 3 main shopping towns are St Ives, Truro & Falmouth with each having its own unique feel to them.
But sadly the products on offer seem to very mainstream and often people with style and dress sense want different stuff but still at affordable prices without having to go online and face all the problems of not being able to try on garments and if not quite what you wanted then the sheer hassle of the returns procedure can far out weigh the marginally cheaper price paid.
In the historical capital of Cornwall there is a shop that has everything you need for a alternative lifestyle including all the traditional favourites including henna hair dyes, direction hair dyes, incense and smoking papers and products but up stairs is a dedicated ladies clothing and body jewellery section selling items such as budget body jewellery brand karma se7en and its much higher quality big brother Studio 18 and custom made plugs, tunnels and assorted piercing products.
