The true Bohemian is a free spirit who embraces beauty, simplicity, and eccentricity, whilst celebrating the creative, the unconventional and the natural world. Ipswich is home to an eclectic mix of Boho fashion, lifestyle, and experiences.
Boho Beauty
Follow the Boho fashion trail along the Top of Town and find your look with crisp linens, natural fabrics and flowing, unconstructed styles, funky accessories, bags and homewares at Oh! JoJo Boutique and Soul Sista Fashion or wander further down into the Nicholas Street Precinct and visit Trottie Becke for a treasure trove of Boho fashions, jewellery and homewares.
Ulli’s New Age Rockz in Nicholas Street is your go-to for all your crystals, spiritual and new age products. Find beautiful dream catchers, a huge range of incense and oils, jewellery, books and gifts.
Repurposed treasures
While you’re visiting Ipswich, pop into The Vintage Advantage in the Top of Town for quirky repurposed fashions, homewares, collectables and ephemera to create the perfect Boho vibe at home.
The Ipswich Antique Centre is another collector’s dream with retro and vintage items from hand-painted bowls and trinket dishes, antique jewellery and more.
Home sweet home
Country House Gifts and Homewares in the Boulevard on Limestone Street is an eclectic emporium filled with Boho-inspired gifts, fashions, accessories, jewellery, and homewares, from delicious Ecoya candles to Gumleaf Essentials aromatherapy oils, organic and botanical beauty and hair care products, and luxurious fashion staples created with 100% natural fibre fabrics including linen, linen silk, rami, and cotton.
Creative and eclectic

From banjo workshops to open mic nights and a weekly line up of alternative performers and musicians, Banshee’s Bar and Artspace is a must see for the serious Boho devotee!

Tantalise your palate while you’re browsing the stalls with coffee, snacks, and hearty meals from around the world thanks to the Handmade Expo’s selection of food trucks and coffee vans.
