Cosmic in Florence is filled with cute boys and girls who will jump (literally lol) at the chance to help their customers. They are always willing to show me anything that would interest me, however bizarre my request might be.
They can build skateboards there and also have pre-assembled ones. I don't skate, but I love skate shoes and other lifestyle gear. They have a large shoe selection and lots of styles on clearance at all times. The t-shirts also go on clearance quite regularly and are a steal!
The clothing in general can seem expensive, but it's also high quality. The skinny jeans will last the average wearer ten times longer than those offered at Hot Topic (I can say from experience). The body jewelry is also very high quality.
The best part is the odd accessory selection available from stickers to hats and gloves. Anyone can accessorize to a unique style with their products. And the best part? They get new stock often and can even get t-shirts printed to suit your needs at one of their other locations.
If you want quality and really good supplies for the skater lifestyle, skip Hot Topic and the other trendy (i.e.cheap) stores and head straight to COSMIC!!
Pros: Great lifestyle gear for skaters and enthusiasts
Cons: A bit pricey, but worth it
