Flap Happy was founded by designer, Laurie Lipson Snyder, a Malibu, California native and mother of four. Laurie started the business with an idea for a hat that would protect her children’s faces and necks from the sun and elements after not being able to find a functional sun protective hat in the marketplace. Long time pioneers of UV protective baby and children’s wear, Flap Happy has never wavered in its commitment to the health of children, the earth, and protecting future generations.
