names for a store

[ahk1979]

just looking for feedback on a few names for a clothing store. i don't want to list any brands we are hoping to stock, because i don't want to get anybodys hopes up (mostly my hopes) or jinx anything, but it will be a cutting edge street wear store with a feel similar to something like opening ceremony in nyc. feel free to make any comments on the names.

Loom is a decent name, Stock and Kollection certainly aren't.

Where are you opening? Are you spending much on making the

inside of the store evoke whatever name you choose, or do you

just need a good name to hang your hat on, so to speak?

agreed with onemancult. I like Loom a lot, Stock doesn't sound like a store name and Kollektion sounds hyper-pretentious in a very bad way.

i like loom a lot as well, but a lot of people i have ran it by don't like it as much. we are opening in toronto and hopefully early next spring. i definitely want the inside of the store to evoke the name and i think we could do that very well using loom.

thanks guys and keep the comments coming!

i thought Loom was pretty decent

if you were in singapore, naming it "CLOSING DOWN SALE" would automatically run you a profit.

Naming my store (CONTEXT) was harder than naming my daughter.

Good luck.

[cmykhustla]

call it STORE

[xcoldricex]

how about bootyjuice?

Ducrapi

I just thought of that. I just had to do a valve adjustment (again) for my Monster.

LOOM looks good and Kollection is really dumb. And Bootyjuice has a nice ring to it.

Considering this, I would say Loom is your best bet. You could pick up some cheap

2nd or even 3rd hand looms at a junk shop and hang clothing on them, keep the lighting a little lower than your usual boutique, let it have that dusty, 'I just walked into the coolest atmosphere in the world' sort of feeling.

If anything, I would avoid Kollection for generally looking a little silly, and not really lending itself well to branding. The same goes for Stock, too generic and plus, Livestock's pretty well known, I'd surmise, amongst streetwear fans in Canada, so it might make people think you're being derivative, no matter what you're actually carrying in-store.

Loom ftw 8910.

[notesee]

I think Loom's your best bet too. There's a lot you can work with

[Contingency Plan]

Kollektion suggests that you sell German techno music.

[werdtoyourmoms]

call it STORE

best suggestion. this would be so fucking dope.

[nairb49]

i agree with loom, and I don't think stock is all that bad either. but definiltey not kollektion.

[isdenn]

loom is good.

store is also good.

[Mbrand]

If I had to keep one I'd say STORE.

Loom is OK but brings nothing strong to a "Retail" place. It's more of a "production" word to me.

[khaltire]

How about calling it SUPER FUTURE

[ahk1979]

LOOM is still my first choice and it seems like a few of you like it. STORE is good, but is seems to have a little to much of the ironic thing going on for my taste.

Kollektion suggests that you sell German techno music.

Loom sounds like classic clothes that are high in quality and style. Kollektion or Stock sound like a store full of bad trends.
