Cooshti

Cooshti is an awesome shop on Park Street that sells some really cool clothes and ranges that you won’t find anywhere else in Bristol. It is probably the last really cool clothing shop left on Park Street.
The style and clientele Cooshti caters for is definitely more urban that many high streets shops in Bristol. You’ll find baggy jeans and some over sized t-​shirts and shirts — quite unlike most shops nowadays.
They also sell some seriously cool trainers which again, you’ll struggle to find elsewhere in Bristol.
I rarely buy stuff from Cooshti, but thats because its not really my style and unfortunately park Street doesn’t have the appeal it used to for fashion/​. But when I’m in the area I’ll always go in and check out what they’ve got. It will be a sad day if Cooshti ever dropped off Park Street.

Another of Park Street’s urban trendy clothing stores, Cooshti is one of my favourites. For one it’s been around longer than a lot of them (you presume there’s a reason for that), for two it’s a good place to pick up club tickets as well as peruse posters, flyers or edgy free magazines like Vice and for three there’s some pretty great clothes here.
Mostly stocking the major urban labels (Miss Sixty, Diesel, Adidas et al), Cooshti naturally doesn’t come cheap. However I’ve picked up some excellent pieces in their regular sales, so keep an eye open for discount prices. There’s a distinctive range of trainers which although limited is well selected, making it an ideal stopping point if you’re in the market for imaginative footwear.
It won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but if you’re looking for some slightly more original branded clothing you can’t do much better than Cooshti.

The Mod-​inspired red, white, blue and pink shop front of this clothing store makes it easy to spot on the hustle and bustle of Park Street. This independent fashion emporium sticks to what it knows bet, urban brands and streetwear.
Brands include Adidas, Diesel, and Stussy for the girls while the guys, whom despite the shop windows, are catered better for here, can sample the likes of Addict, G Star and K Way.
The shop began life in the early 90s and has stood firm throughout the recession thanks to its loyal following of customers and a recognition of using local talent as a selling point. This longevity might explain the now slightly worn look from the outside. Great if you’re a label junkie and are willing to pay £25 for a t-​shirt.

About halfway up Park Street, Cooshti is an independent clothes shop selling various brands of mainly casual clothes or street wear such as hoodies, jeans, t-​shirts, leggings and jumpers, to a fairly cool crowd.
The labels stocked include Diesel, Quickstrike, Obey, Miss Sixty and Stussy — none of them at the cheap end of the market, but all with plenty of trendies willing to pay the price.
The range of men’s clothing seems better than the stuff for girls, but perhaps that’s just because most of it’s not really my style. If you want to find out what’s happening at night in Bristol, however, this is one of the places where you can pick up the latest club flyers and local entertainment magazines.

They have great sales here! And they always sell the coolest new sunglasses around! They are just too expensive, maybe that’s because they are a small independent store. I also don’t think their stock is aimed at me. I’ve always been unlucky enough to look about 20 years too old for my age, and the clothes they sell are very ‘cool’ (ha, urban, whatever that means) e.g. High Tops etc. So I would look pretty stupid in most of what they sell. But they do have some really cool trainers and brands here that you can’t find anywhere else.
I guarantee if you search around you’ll find something you really love, and that will probably be unique to not just this store, but perfectly fitting in with the style of Bristol. So its prefect if you love your clothes (shopping) and want to come back from a visit to the city with something you could only get here.
They are also great for a really good range of men’s jeans, by different brands. From time to time I have been known to try on a pair of very cool, but expensive sunglasses, with no intention of buying them, just to live the dream for a minute or so. Sorry Cooshti.

I must confess to once having thrown a monumental strop in here because they didn’t stock any jeans in my size. Now stick thin I ain’t but there’s no way I am a ten ton Tessie. Still the stock here only caters for the über skinny Minnie. Yes there are signs which urge you to ask if your size isn’t out but who really has the time to go into a shop and be made to feel that they (at a size 12 – 14) are a freak? Cooshti stocks fairly bland clothes by expensive brands like Diesel, Miss Sixty etc. There’s never much in here that excites but the price tags point to some sort of cool desirable niche. I’d rather shop elsewhere ta.

if i had more money i feel like i would really enjoy Cooshti. the only way i can quite describe the way i feel about the shop is to invoke the feeling you undoubtedly had as a child when you have found something that you desperately want and spend months saving up for it. you spend hours pouring over it, thinking about how that item will change you as a person, well, I have found myself in a similar situation with loads of things from Cooshti.
Cooshti has a handpicked selection of clothing that constructs an image that many shops in Bristol have tried to get, they have everything you would want to wear.

Cooshti Clothing is located midway up Park Street. They offer a vast selection of men’s, women’s and children’s clothes and shoes. Personally I do find the majority of them a little ‘chavvy’ but if its over sized clothing and caps you are looking for it then this is the place to be.
On the other hand I did visit the shop the other day when they had a big sale on and I actually found a couple of nice jumpers and a pair of leggings. All of which didn’t cost more than £20.
Their website is a little overwhelming therefore I would suggest going into the store itself.

Cooshti is, as the name would suggest, a very cool place indeed. Everything about this place oozes sexy, funky, shiny charm. This is where you go for the threads that make you look dapper to stand out from the crowd — whilst at the same time subtly blending in.
I’ve been coming here for as long as I’ve been in Bristol and it’s a pleasure to be pushing it on paper. The hooded tops and jumpers here are unique often to Bristol, and sometimes to Cooshti alone. They have an exclusive contract to sell Quickstrike clothing as well as similar Stussy and Obey contracts. Now long running clothing companies like these wouldn’t single down their trade if they didn’t know Cooshti were capable. This has to be a sign.
Not only can one find a really good range of really tight gear for both guys and girls but a whole range of accessories from ear phones to sunglasses means you can leave the shop with a newer crisper style, and your wallet still in pretty good shape. In addition still, as long time supporters of urban music the windows are always colourfully stacked with the latest and greatest nights out in town.
Do not walk past this shop. Cooshti?

I first new Cooshti on Park Street as the best place to pick up Don’t Panic packs, helicon magazine and free club flyers. It took at least three visits before discovering that there was a women’s department in the back of the shop! There’s many labels on display here; Nike, Levis and Diesel to name but a few, all accompanied by a designer tag.
The men and women who work here all look fantastically cool and wear their stock to the best of their ability. There’s a great mix of footwear, dresses, t-​shirts and hoodies with the odd one-​off. Sizes are fairly small (nothing above a 14) which is disappointing, and I would say it’s better for boys than it is for girls. Bit too label loving for my blood, but worth a look if street wear is your bag.

Great independent on Park St — home to some of Bristol’s best shops, great stockist of brands like Diesel and loads of addidas classic jackets. Expensive, but that’s what you get for these brands!

Limited edition and top street fashion store. Cooshti supplies the high end street fashion line for Bristol cool kids. You can get those old school Levi’s or Energy jeans as well as the sneakiest sneakers from Nike and Adidas. They stock Diesel, Replay and Hope and Glory, along with many others. It isn’t cheap but ‘being cool costs, you know!’
