Flap Happy was founded by designer Laurie Lipson Snyder, a Malibu native and mother of four. Laurie started the business 28 years ago with an idea for a hat that would protect her children’s faces and necks from the sun and elements. The Original Flap Happy UPF 50+ flap hat is the hat that started it all! Twenty eight years later, Flap Happy is much more than hats, offering swimwear, playwear, outerwear, and UPF 50+ headwear lines. Featuring vibrant colors, playful prints and details such as ruffles and bows, Flap Happy’s line is available in sizes for infants, toddlers, and kids through size 8. All high quality, comfortable styles by Flap Happy are proudly made with love in the USA!
