About

Cyberdog is a store in England that sells rave-wear and toys divided into four categories: Kawaii, Neon Clubwear, 2090s (or Futuristic), and Cybertronic. Products sold include clothing, jewelry, shoes and rave-toys.

Cyberdog was founded by fashion designer Terry Davy and business manager Spiros Vlahos. They began with a small stall in Camden Market in 1994, mostly selling goa trance items and designer clothing created by Davy. The couple's pet chihuahua, "Chichi the Cyberdog", inspired the name of their store and was featured as part of its brand image.[ citation needed ]

The business was successful and grew, relocating to an underground space in the Stables Market part of Camden Market. There are Cyberdog franchises in Ibiza Town, Spain, and Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. [1] Stores were previously also located in Manchester (closed in February 2018), Brighton (closed in January 2019) and Basel, Switzerland (closed sometime between 2005 and 2020). [2] In November 2012, Cyberdog announced the launch of a sister brand 'Futurelovers', selling sex toys and fetish clothing.[ citation needed ]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Clothes shop</span>

The retail format influences the consumer's store choice and addresses the consumer's expectations. At its most basic level, a retail format is a simple marketplace, that is; a location where goods and services are exchanged. In some parts of the world, the retail sector is still dominated by small family-run stores, but large retail chains are increasingly dominating the sector, because they can exert considerable buying power and pass on the savings in the form of lower prices. Many of these large retail chains also produce their own private labels which compete alongside manufacturer brands. Considerable consolidation of retail stores has changed the retail landscape, transferring power away from wholesalers and into the hands of the large retail chains.
