The Hippy Clothing Co., hippy and boho fashion with fair trade

The Hippy Clothing Co. is a British online shop dedicated to hippy, boho and festival style clothing. Its catalogue is presented as an alternative to conventional fashion, with a selection of garments and accessories featuring rustic prints, textures and flowing cuts. The company operates exclusively online and ships its orders from its office in the United Kingdom.

The offer is organised into distinct sections. For women it includes harem pants, trousers and shorts, dresses, tops, skirts, jumpers and hoodies, dungarees and playsuits, jackets and coats, ponchos and kaftans, as well as children's clothing and gift cards. The men's section covers harem pants, trousers and shorts, T-shirts, Baja hoodies, shirts and waistcoats, coats, jackets and jumpers, and accessories. There is also a homeware category with incense and candles, crystals, eco living products, textiles and furnishings, musical instruments, dreamcatchers and windchimes.

Accessories include bags and purses, belts, jewellery, hats, gloves and scarves, friendship bracelets, hair accessories and sunglasses. The catalogue is completed with specific collections for spiritual, yoga, vintage clothing and tie dye styles.

Festival clothing and fair trade

The company sells festival clothing, from hand-crafted Nepalese patchwork garments to vibrant knits, as well as tie dye baby clothes. The range includes ponchos, colourful scarves, hats, jackets, shirts and fleeces for men and women, with brands such as Gringo Clothing.

Fair trade is central to its proposition. According to the company, many of its garments are handmade by artisans in Nepal with whom it has a long-standing relationship, and several of its suppliers are working towards fair trade certification. The firm states that these garments are made without cruelty or exploitation, with fair pay and decent working conditions.

The company offers free shipping on orders over £50, free returns within 30 days via a tracked service, and a 10% discount on the first order for those who subscribe to its newsletter.
