a little hippie chic sweater for protesting adorably in support of love
I'm pretty sure the author of this phrase intended to make a cutesy reference to hippies and protesting with the use of "hippie/militer."
As in:
"Adeptes de la non violence, la " nouvelle " génération de hippie va militer pour la paix."
http://www.nostalgie.fr/annees-cultes-424/ma-generation-460/...
It's not what I would have chosen to write, but, hey, you gotta translate what's there.

"Sweater" in US English; perhaps "pullover" or "jumper"(?) in other varieties of English.

spread the love with charm in this little hippy chic sweater
I would play around with it like this, referring to the hippy culture.
You could also go for /cute hippy sweater/ and change sweater to jumper for a UK target.
I think this translates the tone and register of this type of sales speak adequately.
