In business since November 2014, the Hip Gypsy Emporium combines sisters Lori Lashley’s business, ZuZu’s Petals and Stacey Niedentohl’s business, Out of My Trunk as well as a few other individual vendors into one great emporium in the former Duffield Elementary School.  This combination provides a kindred spirit’s treasure trove and houses many artisan crafted pieces supporting small business, artists, American Made and Fair Trade.  Fair trade merchandise benefits causes such as fighting child trafficking and education of women in third-world countries.

Visit Hip Gypsy virtually today but plan to visit in person once pandemic restrictions have been lifted.  It is a one of a kind shopping experience that you will want to visit often!
