Most labels find it difficult enough to produce a modest clothing line. Perks and Mini produces a cool, casual cut-and-sew line that finds its way into hip clothing women's boutiques and a graphic T-shirt line that's in many a streetwear shop. When not busy doing this they publish art books and design toys and some funky sunglasses and shoes. What the Australian duo brings to all their work is a fun, buoyant perspective that's all their own. Plus they have quite the knack for graphics.

Find the clothes at Creatures of Comfort, the T-shirts at Sold Out, and other stuff everywhere from Australia to Denmark.

Thanks to a mention by Slamxhype last week we received an influx of streetwear and sneaker store suggestions for our guide. We received info on stores from Barcelona to Berlin, Norfolk to Singapore and thought it'd be nice to highlight a few of our favorites.

It seems that streetwear and sneaker shops are in perpetual race to see who can conceive of the most ambitious, extreme shop build out. Subdivision in Vancouver is, in our opinion, the current frontrunner.

Another shop we were mighty impressed with was Trust Nobody in Barcelona. The shop/gallery just held a showing of work by sneaker customizer Methamphibian, with a release of shirts and sneakers to mark the event. While those pieces are largely gone, there are still some hot items in the shop.

And then there's Berlin. Berlin is a city with some dirt under its fingernails. Between its gothic structures, soviet concrete buildings and checkered past, it's the perfect city in Europe for the streetwear scene to take hold. And take hold it has. There are Nort, Solebox, Overkill and 95gallery, which is one of the best of the bunch.

When we started the site we didn't know the first thing about streetwear or sneakers or the boutiques that carry such wares. Admittedly, we don't know that much more now but what we do know is that time and time again the most clever and ambitious retails concepts come from the streetwear/sneaker world. The lastest such venture is Bodega which online mag Freshness did a feature on last week.

The concept is this: the front of the store consists of a fully stocked bodega, the likes of which are on every street corner in the east. When you're done stocking up on Tide, Lays and Snickers, move on to a lavishly outfitted sneaker and streetwear shop with everything from vintage Nikes, to the latest from JB Classics, to shirts from Anything.

Thanks to a quick user submission, we added Bodega to the guide today. Remember, we don't add a store to the guide unless either a) we've seen it in person or b) someone who has seen it in person reports back to us. So if you know of a great store that ought to be in the guide/on the map submit it here.
