Notable brands: Sixpack France, Benbo George, Raphael Garnier

Ten years ago, Sixpack France was the first hip-hop store in the French city of Avignon. The store mostly dealt in vinyl and spray paint, but it soon found its groove selling T-shirts.

The store still relies heavily on T-shirts, but hey, when has that ever been a bad thing?

Notable brands: Engineered Garments, Battenwear, LVC

If you're ever down in Charleston, SC, a visit Indigo & Cotton should be on your itinerary, along with golf, BBQ, and beaches.

Notable brands: Juun. J, Tim Coppens, Ann Demeulemeester

However, you're here for the gear, and you won't be disappointed.
