ABOUT
With a passion for fashion, art and the environment, Hip Chick Design is all about positive energy. Meet Beth McKean, owner and designer. Our humble beginnings started in 2013. As Beth's family grew so did her business.
All pieces are hand crafted using recycled, or end of roll materials, that are saved from ending up in the landfill. Other new materials that are used are eco-friendly, such as Bamboo, Hemp and Linen. A self taught artist and designer, Beth believes in staying funky, conscious and comfortable in ones clothing style and choices. These one of a kind creations become wearable art themselves and are made with the modern day shopper in mind who wants it all: quality, function and individuality.
All items are designed and assembled by Beth and her small team in her Hip Chick Design home studio, located in Orillia, Ontario. This seasonal clothing line offers something for everyone with our original designs handmade with love and positive intention.

STORY
Why is upcycling important? It plays a crucial role in ensuring the sustainability of our planet. By making conscious consumer choices to reduce our carbon daily, we can create a brighter future for our children and generations to come If we collectively change our mindset, even little by little, our efforts will lead to a positive change.
The fast fashion industry and our throwaway mindset are leading to significant waste, making it the top contributor to landfills. By making small changes in our daily lives—like repairing cherished clothing, consuming less meat, using a refillable water bottle, and avoiding single-use plastics—we can make a positive impact. When buying new clothes, adopt the #30wears mindset and consider, "Will this item last through 30 wears or washes? Will I still want to wear it after that?" If the answer is YES, you've made a thoughtful choice.
Hip Chick Design was born from a passion for fashion and a commitment to Mother Earth. There are countless stunning garments that deserve a fresh start. By these materials, deconstructing them, and reimagining them into trendy, desirable designs, we transform each piece into a unique work of art. We take pride in our mindful creations, and we hope you feel good about the support you give to our planet-friendly mission.
