We are Pete & Jules and we created The Hippie Boat Brand in 2015. Operating as Roving Traders from our narrowboat, we cruised the UK Canals and Rivers setting up our extensive outdoor display of Fair Trade Festival Style Clothing, Bags, Accessories, Incense and other ethically sourced merchandise from the side of the boat at various towpath locations during the Spring & Summer season.

This year, we hit the road in a Motorhome and took our pop-up shop to various land based events, some of which were in areas that we haven’t previously been able to reach by boat! We are both in complete agreement, that it has been an absolutely awesome trading season, despite the challenges of adverse weather at times! We have had so much fun, reunited with friends, made lots of new friends, enjoyed listening to some fantastic bands and sold lots of gorgeous clothes to lovely customers and made wonderful memories. Travelling in the Motorhome has enabled us to zig zag across the country rather than being confined to one canal route and it has really opened up our trading options.

Our season is now at an end and we are about to embark on another trip in Humpty our Hippie Hymer, but for pleasure now, crossing the channel to Europe. If you would like to follow our van life travels, please do check out our Facebook and Instagram pages.

The website is now closed until January 2025. When we return from Europe, we will be starting to add lots of new season stock and there will also be sale items up for grabs. We wish everyone a cosy Autumn and wonderful Christmas season; thank you so much for your support this year, we do appreciate you 

Love

Jules & Pete xx
