Republic of Happy

I do, thanks for asking! I’m Veronica, the designer behind Republic of Happy. I create all the original prints myself, inspired by my tropical Colombian roots and 30 years of experience as a graphic designer.

I design every pattern from my studio in (sometimes sunny!) Cornwall, and then my trusted UK experts carefully print and sew each product to perfection. When you shop here, you’re getting truly original designs, not fabric bought off the roll.

Absolutely! All my products are printed and made right here in the UK by some of the most experienced printers and skilful sewing hands. At Republic of Happy, it makes me happy to support UK businesses!

By buying products made in the UK, we’re lowering our carbon footprint, saving essential skills, helping local economies, and creating job opportunities. Yes please!

I’m all about prioritising sustainability and ethical sourcing for every product I offer, so you can feel good about your purchase. Go ahead and shop without guilt!

Check each product page for details on every item’s eco-credentials. Happy planet, happy people!

Not on my watch! I’m a stickler for quality, so those lovely colours are here to stay. I’ve done my homework to make sure printing methods and colour fastness are top-notch.

The textiles will keep looking gorgeous, wash after wash, and my art prints are made for long-lasting, stunning colour. When you invest in my designs, you’re investing in durable beauty.

Definitely! All my textile products are made from high-quality, durable fabrics that can handle regular use and washing. Perfect for busy, happy households.

I’m biased, but yes! My products are the real deal. Top-quality materials, original one-of-a-kind designs, and made to last, giving you real value for money.

But they’re not just products. They’re an investment in your happiness, adding a splash of joy to your home and everyday life. So if you’re wondering whether they’re worth it, I’d say the answer is a big, happy YES!

Let me put your mind at ease. Every product features my own original prints. One-of-a-kind designs you won’t find anywhere else. Nothing here is mass-produced or generic. Each piece is as unique as you are!

Every detail is meticulously crafted to perfection. I’m all about creativity, originality, and quality, offering products that stand out and are made to last. You can shop with confidence, knowing you’re investing in something truly special.

The post gets extra busy at Christmas (and sometimes a bit chaotic if there are strikes!), so please place your order by Friday 19th December to give it the best chance of arriving in time for Christmas.

I’ll make sure your order is sent off in good time, but once it’s with the posties, it’s out of my hands, so I can’t guarantee exact delivery dates.

Missed the deadline? Don’t panic! You can still choose Extra Express delivery at checkout to speed things up.

I really hope you won’t want or need to return anything, but if you do, please email me at talktome@republicofhappy.co.uk within 30 days of delivery, including your reason for returning and your order details.

All returns must be unused, unwashed, and in their original packaging. Please note that you’ll need to cover the return postage costs yourself.

Ooh, feeling generous? I can definitely do that for you!

Please note: ticking this option adds a small £3 charge.

Yes, you can! Head to the e-Gift Card page, choose the amount, read the info, add it to your cart, and check out as usual.

I offer digital gift cards only, delivered by email for convenience and eco-friendliness. You can send them straight to the lucky recipient or to yourself to forward later.

A Republic of Happy gift card is the perfect pressie for any occasion, letting your loved ones pick their favourite piece of joy!

Unfortunately, not at the moment.

Sending orders abroad has turned out to be tricky, pricey, and a bit of a headache with all the taxes, tariffs, and paperwork. To keep things simple (and save customers from surprise costs), I’ve decided to focus on UK deliveries for now.

Sadly, I can no longer ship to Northern Ireland. The new GPSR requirements have made it too complex and costly to continue offering this service.

I’m truly sorry for any inconvenience this causes. If things change in the future, I’ll update this FAQ straight away.
