    Hi

    Does anyone know where to find boho/gypsy/hippy clothes now that they are not in fashion.

    I haven't had much luck through google but there must be some small shops out there that still stock these styles.

    Thanks in advance

    Online, ebay is the best for these type of clothes, search using the words you used in the title! Nomads, Gringo, Namaste and Jordash are all brands that I like. I've searched for other sites that sell hippy stuff but noone else offers the value and range that ebay does.

    You don't say what part of the country you are from but there are still a few hippy type shops in Cork (well 2 anyway but tbh not a great selection in each) Tk maxx can be great for picking up stuff, but be prepared to search through masses of things.

    I'm in South Tipp. There's a TK MAXX in Kilkenny (as far as i know) so I'll take a look there first. Could you either post or PM me the names and addresses for the shops in Cork?

    Thanks

    I second etsy, and ebay of course - depends on your keywords like folk/boho/prairie etc.

    Ebay and etsy as already mentioned are by far the best options, I prefer etsy myself. If you have certain brands you like check out their websites, nomads etc. Good ebay and etsy search words are prairie, peasant, gypsy, hippy and folk, if you search for boho you get every piece of crap imaginable! People in general have a very poor concept of what the word means for some reason.

    The 3 hippy shops in Cork are Sula, Moonshine and Andina and they are all in the Paul Street and North main street regions.

    It's a very easy look to put together from charity shops, they are full of lacy little blouses, tiered gypsy skirts etc. left over from when it was fashionable, most people wouldn't be caught dead in that stuff anymore which suits me down to the ground :D
