About

Happy Out is one of those perfectly Irish phrases - it means content, grand, in your element. The kind of feeling you get with sand between your toes, a mug of tea in hand, or spotting a sheep perched on a cliff with not a care in the world.

Happy Out Studios was dreamt up on a windswept headland in the west of Ireland, where a ewe sat perched on a cliff, gazing out at the Atlantic like she owned the place. She wasn’t stressed. She wasn’t rushing. She was happy out. And just like that, our mascot, and our mission, was born.

We’re a small Irish design studio with a big grá for home, humor, and heritage. Our t-shirts, stickers, and gifts are designed here in Ireland and printed as close to ewe (yes, ewe) as possible to keep things sustainable and sound.

We mix Gaeilge, wild west coast wit, and proper Irish cheek into everything we do. Whether it’s an old saying, a bold insult, or a bit of modern mischief, our gear is made to make ewe smile - and maybe spark a knowing nod from someone else who “gets it.”

Whether you stayed, strayed, returned or just arrived, if you’ve got a bit of Ireland in your heart, you’ve found your people.

🍀 Be happy out, wherever you are. 🍀
