Patchwork, Personality, and the Joy of Carrying Your Story
Champagne Hippie’s vintage totes and patches are a reminder that style should feel personal
Some brands are built in boardrooms. Champagne Hippie was built in a basement—right next to a Pilates reformer, with podcasts humming in the background and intention stitched into every detail. Founded in 2023 by Allison Meyer, Champagne Hippie is a New Hampshire–based lifestyle brand that blends soulful design, sustainability, and storytelling into pieces meant to be lived with, not locked away.
Allison didn’t set out to start a brand. She was simply looking for a rainbow gemstone necklace that felt right, joyful, personal, and grounded. When she couldn’t find one, she taught herself how to hand-knot gemstones on silk cord and made it herself. That first necklace was crafted for her best friend, Brenda. What began as a heartfelt gift quickly became something more. Brenda encouraged Allison to share her work beyond their friendship, planting the seed for Champagne Hippie to grow. One necklace turned into encouragement. Encouragement turned into a spark. Champagne Hippie was born.
