OUR STORY
We created Happy Caps with one mission: to spread happiness and good vibes—even when things get tough.
Happy Caps was born in 2020 by Mike Hannegan and Trevor Haremaker, at a time when the world felt upside down. The idea sparked on a surf trip to Mexico, where the two often escaped to get perspective, recharge, and reconnect. Amid crashing waves, sunrise sessions, and some caps, the vision for Happy Caps came to life: a brand rooted in optimism, mental wellness, and an appreciation for being in the moment.
What started in Southern California quickly grew into a national—and now international—vibe. In 2022, we started selling hats in Miami's Wynwood district, catching fire at events like F1, Art Basel, and E11EVEN, where Trevor held it down on the decks.
From beach towns to city streets, Happy Caps are now worn across the globe by people who share the same vibe. And with Mike and Trevor leading the way, the mission remains the same: keep it happy, keep it real, and wear the vibe.
Spot someone in a Happy Cap? That's your people. A nod says it all.
THE EVOLUTION
What began as a passion project between friends (with nod to shrooms) leveled up big time in 2025. Mike stepped in full-time to lead the business, convincing like-minded stores, brands, and events to collaborate with us
COLLABS
The DJ VNSSA collab was such a hit that drop two is already in the works. Next came one of our favorite reggae bands, Iration. The connection was natural—bassist Adam Taylor shares our love for surfing, snowboarding, and music. We launched at Cali Vibes Festival in Long Beach, with part two dropping at their Petco Park headline show on July 20th, 2025. Other collabs include Fortunate Youth and Donovan Frankenreiter, with more exciting partnerships on the horizon.
HappyCaps is just getting started, and we appreciate your early support—and we couldn't be more stoked about what's coming next.
