Sign maker Paul Harrison, right, helps shop owner Peter Bowley hoist up his sign - the latest addition to a line of quirky shopfronts.
Two Feathers, which opens in Kensington Gardens, Brighton, in a fortnight, will sell Native American Indian gifts and crystals and host aura readings. The shop, which used to sell electrical goods, is decorated with an 8ft fountain and the walls are inlaid with crystals.
The city council has cracked down recently on distinctive signs in the Bohemian North Laine district, saying they are out of character.
Peter, 46, opened the shop after being inspired by trips to south-west America with his partner Sara Saunders, 26.
He said he did not apply for planning permission because the sign is not much larger than the previous one and doesn't take up much space.
