" Hipsta is alternative fashion where Festival meets Street, meets Beach. "

Hipsta offers a rad and eco-friendly selection of gender-neutral, earth-friendly threads and funky handicrafts, sourced ethically from India & Thailand.

Hipsta has branded itself at local New Zealand Markets and Festivals during September till Easter for the past 20 years! You can see what events we having coming up here!

In 2005 we opened our very first store on the Kapiti Coast (Paraparaumu Beach) and have been using the same suppliers ever since!
We now have four locations with fully equipped Body Piercing Studios.

Every year we travel overseas to visit our wonderful family and friends (our suppliers) and we hand select styles we know you will love! ♡ ♡
(Each item is handmade with love, specifically for you)
We test the sizing, the quality and the materials before choosing each item.

We pride ourselves on our customer service amongst knowledge and understanding of our staff. For a shopping experience that cares!

At Hipsta, we believe we have the coolest and kindest customers
(that's you!) it is because of you, that we are able to operate a store that we love and enjoy coming to work as much as we do.
