The Journey of Hippie Shop
Hippie Shop embarked on an incredible journey in the 1990s, starting as a vibrant vendor at music festivals. With an innovative spirit, the brand opened its first retail outlets in Northern New Jersey, and soon after, in 1997, pioneered the e-commerce world by launching the first-ever online Hippie Shop. Today, they continue to shape trends, delivering top-notch clothing & accessories inspired by freedom, creativity, and the love for music.
The Birth of a Legacy
Christine & Anthony turned their passion for music into a thriving business in 1995 when they opened their first shop in Kearny, New Jersey. They filled their store with joy, memories, and everything that embodied the spirit of concerts and festivals, rapidly gaining popularity.
Community & Connection
Hippie Shop wasn't just a store; it became a community hub. In the late 90s, their charity event, The Grateful Gathering Picnic, transformed from a friendly get-together into a grand celebration with over 700 attendees. Their passion for music brought people together, creating unforgettable experiences.
