Shop Miss happ online!

My little Etsy store has been going for just 2 years and sales have climbed steadily which is exciting and very encouraging!

I started off with only my Rockabilly and pin up style clothing, but eventually branched out into hair accessories, bandanas, jewellery and now I make rocking printed handbags too! I also do a small collection of cushions and coffee table coasters for the home, so my little Etsy store really has almost EVERYTHING for a Rockabilly girl!

I still have a very small set up with me making the jewellery and accessories, and my (one) seamstress sewing up all the clothing & hats that I myself design. It got to the stage where I literally couldn't keep up with the demand, so now I also have an assistant who works with us 3 days a week to help streamline everything.

Because I am a little self-funded, self run business, all my items are either one-offs, or with the clothing, are usually 1 of sometimes 5 or 6 items which makes the range a very unique designer range indeed.

Sometimes I am also able to make kustom pieces too which is always exciting and very gratifying. We have done a few wedding hair accessories as well as cute shoe bow clips for a bride and her bridal party..to Rockabilly dresses and birthday presents for deserving girlfriends!

I try and do as many markets and shows that are specifically related to what Miss Happ is all about, with the most recent one being Horrorfest which was so much fun. I even got to dress up on the final closing night of the festival when we attended an Audience participation Rocky horror Movie screening. My BEST!

So, if you love what I do and what Miss Happ is all about make sure you check us out..

A little bit about me :)

For those that don't know, my main focus actually isn't accessories, but clothing. I am a fashion designer by trade, and after 13 years of being a designer in the commercial fashion industry,  I decided to take a HUGE leap of faith, pack it all up and do my own thing.

For the first time in a long time I was happy. Doing something I am totally passionate about. Looking back it has been a long road. Miss Happ was born in Sept 2008 when I entered the YDE designer competition. I was one of the top 5 finalists (in a national competition), but didn't go on to win. At the time it was little disappointing, but in hind sight, I do think it was a blessing in disguise!

I launched my clothing label and (a very limited) hair accessory range in the Jan of 2009 (below pics) at the International Tattoo convention. Since then my clothing range has steadily grown and has my accessory range.

I have learn't alot of lessons, and never stop learning. It's all part of it I guess. But I'll save that part for another day ;)

Just wanted to show you what I have been up to with my clothing....I have had some fun with my pastels this summer - so nice and fresh! I am loving how it's all come together! All clothing and accessories are sold at Grounded, Bayside in Cape Town.

Enjoy the rest of your week end peeps!

Till next time,

Mx
