    The Art of Green Gifting

    Is a blog series that celebrates mindful, meaningful ways to give, from handmade pieces and up-cycled textiles to low-impact wrapping and thoughtful gestures. Rooted in sustainability and creativity, this space is about rethinking the culture of consumerism and returning to gifts that carry story, intention, and care, for both people and the planet.

A Journey of Craft, Sustainability, and Connection

Wilde Hippi by Tala

Is a creative platform rooted in slow fashion, sustainability, and storytelling. Founded by designer and sustainability advocate Tala, the brand grew from over two decades in the fashion industry and a journey through motherhood, ethical production, and regenerative design thinking.

At Wilde Hippi, we offer thoughtfully made upcycled pieces, educational content, and a growing community space. Through our blog, book club, workshops, and reflections from Tala’s MA in Fashion Sustainability, we explore how fashion can be a force for healing, not harm.

This is a space to learn, connect, and create with intention, one stitch, one story, one act of change at a time.

With love, creativity, and purpose,

Tala Ashton-Grey
