Flap Happy Sustainable UPF 50+ Swimwear and Hats for Children Made From Recycled Plastic Bottles

Los Angeles, CA: 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. They are pleased to announce their newest line for Spring Summer 2020, sustainable swimwear and swim hats made from recycled plastic bottles!

This specialty recycled fabric starts with post-consumer plastic bottles which are washed and chopped into flakes, then melted and formed into chips, which are melted again and made into fibers. This innovative fabrication also offers UPF 50+ sun protection without any chemical additives. Each item Flap Happy makes from recycled plastic bottles recycles 4 plastic bottles on average.

For Flap Happy, this was a no brainer. “We like to think that we're saving the earth and its children, one swim hat at a time”.

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. The Original Flap Happy UPF 50+ Flap Hat is the hat that started it all! Today, Flap Happy is best known as the go-to company for baby & children’s sun hats with rave reviews about their excellent fit, quality, and variety of options. Flap Happy is now much more than hats, offering UPF 50+ protective swimwear and headwear styles, as well as playwear & dresses, many made from recycled plastic bottles!  Featuring vibrant colors and playful prints for boys and girls, Flap Happy’s line is available in sizes for infants, toddlers, and kids.

Choose the sun hat & swimwear experts, protecting babies and kids for over 30 years!
