Bags, Backpacks, Purses & Money Belts

We are now on the road in our van for most of the week, attending various Festivals, but we will of course still post your orders out to you as soon as we can, which will generally be mid-week now.  We do combine purchases and are able to send up to 2kg via Royal Mail’s tracked 48 hour service for just £4.50 and anything that is large letter size for £3.25. Please note that sometimes, the item you have ordered may have been sold at the previous weekends festival and not yet removed from the website. If this happens, we will always offer you an alternative item or a full refund, via email or text if no response it received to an email that may have gone into a junk folder. Thank you so much for your continued support of our small business, your custom is hugely appreciated.

Love and light

THE HIPPIE BOAT

WELCOME TO OUR SHOP

Shop now

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 over the Spring & Summer months.

Last year, after a move off the boat to a traditional Welsh cottage on the Llyn Peninsula, we hit the road in a Motorhome and took our pop-up shop to various land based Festivals, some of which were in areas that we haven’t previously been able to reach by boat! Thank you so much to everyone that made 2024 such an absolutely awesome trading experience! Despite the challenges of adverse weather at times, which saw gazebos taking off in all directions, we had so much fun; we reunited with friends, made lots of new friends, enjoyed listening to some fantastic bands, sold lots of gorgeous clothes to lovely customers and made wonderful memories. Travelling on wheels enabled us to zig zag across the country rather than being confined to one canal route and it really opened up our trading options. 

We are now looking forward to our second year of land trading and are excited to get on the road again with the Hippie Boat on Wheels.

Love

Jules & Pete xx

The Hippie Boat On Wheels
On top of the world this morning! We feel so lucky to have such fabulous places to walk on our doorstep. No festival this weekend as Pete has an appointment at Ysbyty Gwynedd on Saturday, so we are taking the opportunity to relax and enjoy some proper down time, making the most of the great outdoors in this beautiful weather. One of the symptoms Pete is experiencing is exhausting fatigue, so it is important to have this recovery time in between events, but walking helps a lot. We haven’t got it quite so hot as the rest of the UK up here in the clouds, but we still need to get out early with the doggies 🥵 #penllŷn #angleseycoast #stunningviews #walkforhealth #yrwyddfa ...
