Celebrating 15 years of Happythreads: our glow-up journey
Hi to our Happythreads community,
As the co-founder of Happythreads, and alongside my wife Abby, I want to take a moment to thank you for being part of our journey over the past 15 years. It’s been an incredible adventure, and none of this would be possible without your support and trust in us.
Back in 2009, Abby, a dedicated paediatric dentist, and I saw an opportunity to create something special. Abby was frustrated with the lack of stylish and comfortable scrubs in the UK and Ireland, and we knew healthcare professionals deserved better. So, from a small spare room in a terraced house, we founded Happythreads with a simple mission: to make work a happier place for everyone – from our customers to our amazing team and suppliers.
Our glow-up: a bold brand refresh
Fast forward 15 years, and here we are, celebrating an exciting new chapter with a bold brand refresh. We’ve grown and evolved, but our mission has stayed the same. We’re still focused on providing scrubs that blend style, comfort, and functionality, but now, we’ve given our look a fresh new vibe.
Why does this glow-up matter? Well, it’s not just about a new logo or colours - it’s about reflecting how far we’ve come while staying true to what makes Happythreads, well, Happythreads. At the heart of this transformation is our signature orange, a colour that symbolises the warmth, positivity, and reliability we strive to bring to every healthcare professional wearing our scrubs.
A new flower blooms: our updated logo
The flower in our original logo was inspired by Abby’s favourite bloom, the frangipani, a flower known for its resilience and beauty. It symbolises new beginnings and thriving in difficult conditions – much like how Happythreads has grown over the years. With our new logo, we’ve given the flower a modern twist. The sleek and simplified petals represent unity, strength, and our forward-thinking approach as we continue to evolve while maintaining the same care and support we’ve provided for 15 years.
Enhancing your experience: more than just a new look
Our brand refresh isn’t just about aesthetics. We’ve worked hard to ensure that your experience with Happythreads is even better. Our website is faster and easier to navigate, making it simple for you to find exactly what you need. And whether you’re engaging with us on social media or receiving our emails, you’ll see a consistent, fresh brand that represents our commitment to excellence.
Most importantly, we’re doubling down on our dedication to fast delivery and top-notch customer service. We want every healthcare professional to not only look great but to feel supported every step of the way.
