Starting a business is never easy, but when you do it with your sister—your polar opposite, no less—it becomes an adventure.

At a recent Folds of Honor event in Minnesota, Hip Hues brought denim jackets to life with live patching and custom embroidered and leather patches. The result? One-of-a-kind swag that guests loved — and an experience they’ll never forget.

In a screen-tired, scroll-weary world, guests crave something real. Turns out, touch isn’t just a nice-to-have — it’s the secret to unforgettable brand activations. At Hip Hues, we turn SWAG into an experience, giving guests the chance to print, stamp, or create something themselves. Because in 2025 and beyond, IRL really is the new URL — and that feels so right.

Tired of giveaways guests forget by Monday? IRL marketing turns brand moments into memories — with real data to prove it. From live printing to leather stamping, discover why experiential activations win hearts, hashtags, and loyalty.

When Padel House Nashville opened its brand-new location, they didn’t just bring the heat on the courts — they brought it to their swag game, too.

We believe color isn’t just decoration — it’s declaration. It’s how your brand shows up and shows off. And we’re here to help you do it in unforgettable ways.

From pre-schoolers to execs in suits, our hands-on activations are proof that people love to create, no matter how old they are or where they come from.

When you're celebrating 100 years of building the world, your event deserves a swag experience that’s just as solid as your brand

Let’s face it — no one gets excited about another tech bro fleece or quarter-zip snoozefest. But give them a custom denim jacket they can personalize live at your event? Now you’ve got their attention!

Hip Hues are the behind-the-scenes superheroes that help you save the day. When you bring us on board, we make you look like a genius, your client look like a rockstar, and your guests walk away with unforgettable experiences and personalized swag they actually love.

For the cost of two fancy cocktails or one overpriced airport lunch, your guests can walk away with a genuinely useful, boutique-quality leather good—personalized right in front of them.

We were thrilled to be part of Power of the Purse, hosted by The Women’s Fund of The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee at the always-inspiring OZ Arts Nashville. This annual event brings together dynamic women (and allies!) who are committed to making real, lasting change for women and girls across our community. And we were proud to be on site as a partial sponsor and creative partner, bringing our live screen printing activation to life.

This week, we teamed up with the Nashville Predators for a live custom patching activation that brought the wow factor to downtown.

While technology brings incredible efficiency and reach, it also leaves many of us craving something more…human. Something authentic.
