Me and Mrs SKOS are heading up to sunny yorkshire for the weekend to visit my in-laws and are thinking of popping into Leeds on Saturday for some retail therapy.

The wife is after a couple of 'gothy' tops - nothing too fancy or expensive (and not cyber!), but something suitable for the local goth night.

Can anyone recommend places to look? (and rough directions!) We used to just pop into the Dark Angel shop, but thats gone now isnt it?

Cheers.

The Corn Exchange and surrounding area is full of (quote unquote) alternative, independent stores...

... or so I've been told... I'd never go anywhere like that myself of course *cough, splutter* :innocent: :oops: :lol:

Leeds is pretty p!sh for that sort of stuff, in my experience though. Even Glasgow is better and London or any major city in mainland northern Europe beats it hands down anyday for threads of the light-absorbing variety :wink:
