    I'm currently in the market for some new threads. Around me there really arn't any cool shops for clothes. There was a Budhdist shop but that closed. So I'm going to be buying clothes online.

    I'm looking for
    Hemp Backpack
    Hemp Shoes (or thongs)
    Tie-Dye Shirts

    And the like.

    Are there any websites that you can link me to for these items? And that are some what cheap?

    Thanks.

    Peace and Love,

    August.

    get thee to old Manitou Springs, or up to Boulder for a day trip.
    in MS,
    Mushroom Monday does hippie flash dyes, and there was a hemp shop with plenty of hemp goods, or could order for you.

    Wow Unkle. Your sight is amazing. Afordable and the designs are great. I'm also surprised that the layout is good. Most of the sites i've seen suck...bad layouts make me not want to buy from the site. Lol.

    Now on your checkout pages is all of the info encrypted?

    Yes, they are. There should be a section (when checking out) for notes like your shipping address and sizes for custom orders.

    Well, a bad looking site doesn't mean the products are in bad quality. Many people who create sites are artisans in their craft work and either don't have the time to create (in your words) "good looking sites". I create sites and graphics, my wife is the one who sews. But thank you for the comment.

    how about making your own? tie dying is easy, and it doesnt take much to learn to work with hemp...

    One thing about hippyshop.com is that you could probably get thier items cheaper if you bought from their distributor, Gypsy Rose. If anyone gets a catalog from GR you will identify the gals from it on the Hippy Shop site.
    Nothing wrong with that, but it's not handmde by the owner of the site unlike alot of the other sites found on the net.

    Hey Now,
    Good observation, Unkle John! Gypsy Rose is one of HippieShop.com's (HippyShop.com) lots of suppliers. We actually deal with 100's of distributors, manufactures and also many vendors of handmade products.

    As a matter of fact we have our own line of products that we make ourselves that our not available anywhere else.

    As for being cheaper, if you compare our prices you will find in most cases our products our of the same quality but less expensive. We even beat distributor prices because of the volume we buy we get stuff cheaper and pass on that lower price to our customers.

    FYI: Hip Forum members get a special discount when they use coupon code [hipforum] at checkout.

    Peace, Love & Happy Shopping

    Hey here's a radical hippie idea: Get your clothes at garage and yard sales. That way you can save money so you don't need to be a wage slave. There's plenty of cheap spare clothes around. Why waste rescources on new ones? What's cool about you is something you develop on the inside. If you need new store-bought threads to make you cool you might be traveling with the wrong crowd.

    Woot. Thankyou so much for saying that.

    I really dont understand the whole hemp/patchwork craze >.> It does not look very hippie at all, I think.

    Well, there isnt a true hippie clothing style anyway. To dress like a hippie is to dress however the hoot you want. But, clothes dont make the hippie...so.

    Forget all that o.o

    or you can just go to a local thrift store or salvation army store...you'll be very suprised what you may find there.

    i found my first pair of birkenstock sandals there for $2.95.
