THE Gypsy Story
Our passion & admiration for fabulous fabrics, natural jewels, unique garments, local artists, free-spirits, and talented individuals started loads of years ago in Bend, Oregon. The Gypsy family saddled up the wagon and continued their journey down south to Sedona, Arizona to see where the path my lead.
Gypsy mama began her adventures in Sedona by pulling out of her gypsy vintage trunks & suit cases full of “goods & mantras” and began operating “Urban Gypsies Traveling Boutique” along with her daughter and gifted photographer.
What exactly is a “traveling boutique” you may ask? Let us explain . . . We would either rent out/trade/share an empty business space for a short period of time and set up shop! With help of our Gypsy family & drifting friends we would GypSSify the space! We currently have a “more permanent” shop located in spectacular Sedona, AZ. Don’t worry, we still hit the road for trunk shows from time to time. So make sure to keep an eye out for the Gypsy Wagon pulling up for your neck for the woods.
Urban Gypsies boutique passport is stamped with many memories from trunk shows from Big Sky Bozeman, MT to Southern Cali for sure, & soon northern for festivities, music & wine tasting :).
We have traveled route 66 and co-hosted with mermaids for a couple days in Kingman, AZ and in Flagstaff, AZ we hosted our share of electrifying fashion shows, oh and we will never forget the time we proudly showed our “pride in the pines”!
Gypsy Shop in the Red Rocks
All gypsies travel with the wind, but the glowing red rocks had a different path in store for us . . . We have been grounded for 2 years in the heart of West Sedona. We set up for traveling truck show for the film festival next to the movie theater and just never packed backed up. The store slowly began to blossom as we added to in, and in time, month after month of hard effort, passion, personality, love, and friendships in and out the door, the Gypsy Shop finally began to bloom . . .
The store is purposed & ran by an amazing group of close friends & family, and of course our charming shop dog, Leema who loves to greet all gypsies may they be young or old.
