Curated hats, custom collections, live activations, and co-branded experiences designed for retailers, hospitality groups, venues, and growing brands.
Kappy Co.™ partners with businesses that want to offer something distinctive, wearable, and thoughtfully designed. Whether you want to carry our hats, create a collection for your brand, or bring an interactive Hat Bar into your space, we make the process easy from concept through execution.
Ways to Partner and Wear Happy
Every partnership is built around your goals, your audience, and the kind of experience you want to create. Some partners purchase inventory or custom products, while others host Kappy Co.™ activations or develop shared events with our team.
Choose the path that best fits your business, or tell us what you have in mind and we will help shape the right approach.
Partnership Options
1. Wholesale
Partnership Type: Purchase
Bring Kappy Co.™ hats into your store with a curated wholesale order selected for your customers. You purchase the collection at wholesale pricing and sell each piece at your preferred retail margin.
This option is ideal for boutiques, gift shops, hotels, spas, and lifestyle retailers looking to add colorful, expressive accessories to their current product mix.
2. Curated In-Store Collection
Partnership Type: Revenue Split
We curate a Kappy Co.™ hat collection that complements your brand, location, and customer base. The collection is displayed and sold in your store through a shared-revenue structure, without requiring an upfront inventory purchase.
Kappy Co.™ helps select the products, refresh the assortment, and keep the presentation aligned with your space.
3. Custom Branded Hats and Limited-Edition Runs
Partnership Type: Purchase
Create hats designed specifically for your business, event, or audience. We offer logo embroidery, custom patches, exclusive color combinations, and co-designed limited-edition collections.
Custom orders are priced per unit, with a one-time setup fee when artwork needs to be digitized for embroidery. Our team can work from your existing branding or help develop a concept from the beginning.
Available options may include:
- Logo embroidery
- Custom thread colors
- Original patch design
- Staff or team hats
- Retail-ready branded merchandise
- Limited-edition collaborations
- Conference or event collections
4. In-Store Hat Bar Activation
Partnership Type: Booking
Bring the Kappy Co.™ Hat Bar directly into your store or venue. Customers choose a hat, browse a curated selection of patches and accessories, and create a personalized piece during the event.
Our team brings the equipment, materials, and staff needed to run the activation. This gives your business a turnkey event that can help introduce a new collection, celebrate a milestone, support a seasonal campaign, or create a reason for customers to visit your space.
Hat Bar activations are well suited for:
- Store openings
- Shopping events
- Customer appreciation days
- Seasonal launches
- Hotel and resort programming
- Spa and medspa events
- Product releases
- Community shopping nights
5. Co-Branded Events
Work with the Kappy Co.™ team to plan a shared event in your space or at Kappy HQ in East Austin. Co-branded events can combine custom products, live personalization, signage, styling, refreshments, photography, and additional partner experiences.
The format, promotion, and event costs can be structured around the goals of both brands.
