Finally, after almost a year, the first step of my dream plan is ready; Hippie Utsaah, our online hippie clothing and accessories store is finally open.

My plan was to set up enterprises and financial streams to finance my world travels and to enable me to spend longer periods in Goa.

The other projects will be setting up a market stall selling the Hippie Utsaah products and of course the publication of my Hippie Kushi books.

My wonderful friend David has been there by my side all the way, helping with the admin and financial record side of things (and much more). His support has been fantastic.

My creative mum has designed and made all the jewellery and some of the artwork on the t-shirts.

And my friends have all been very supportive and encouraging. Thank you all.

Its not been easy, what with a global pandemic and neither of us ever having set up a website before, but we finally got there and on 3rd April 2021 we are OPEN!!

Initially we will be starting with three main products.

The first is our Hippie Kushi art t-shirts with mine and my mums artwork on them. They are good quality and come in many designs; you can even create your own from our choice of colours and artworks.

Secondly are our hippie bags made from recycled materials all the way from Nepal.

And thirdly our Mama-Ji jewellery made by my mum. They are fantastic and there are many many designs to come. She’s a human dynamo.

Any time now our hippie clothing will be arriving (a couple of weeks at the most), where we will have men’s and women’s hippie clothing and accessories.
