Hello!

That Hippie Kitty is run by me- Kat Umunna!

This is my shop 2.0- I used to run an upcycled clothing store, called Handmade by Ify from 2009-2014, but stopped after becoming a mummy and lost my spark.

I however, have still maintained my passion of making my own income, by selling my makes, and living from what I love.

Skincare-
What prompted me to make my own products was when I discovered there was a shortage of products in the skincare industry for skin like mine, a black woman with sensitive skin, raising my daughter who has eczema. A lot of products out there are mainly water based and didn't suit us and we found it drying. I found the only thing that our skin liked was Vaseline- not really known for being eco-friendly, as good as they were. I then studied Holistic Herbal Product Making in 2020 and I fell in love with natural product making, the processes, understanding what herbs suit whichever type of skin, and I got excited of the thought of making bespoke products, yet remaining affordable and not compromising on quality

Every customer who stops by at my shop is always in for a lovely experience; I'm always aiming to give everyone a 'wow' factor every time they stop by, because I do not want to treat each sale like it's "just another purchase" but I would like to give them something to remember my shop by.
