Our Story

Happy Dais Vintage was started in 2011 by Daisy Puddifoot and originally based in Hackney Wick, East London. I quickly became a top seller on Depop with a few hundred thousand followers. In 2015 looking for a quieter pace of life, I relocated to the Cornish seaside town of Penzance. In 2019 I opened my first bricks and mortar shop on the iconic Chapel St in Penzance, lucky enough to be alongside many other great independent businesses.

We love vintage for many reasons but thing I love most is the level of quality you can get when buyng secondhand that would cost hundreds if buying new. I look for high quality, mostly European or US made, beautiful fabrics, natural fibres, decent pockets and all those special little details that have gone as clothes get more mass produced.

As well as finding those stand out, one off, show stoppers, I'm devoted to sourcing beautiful quality, easy to wear items as a total replacement for buying new. The shop is continuosly restocked and we travel the uk and europe handpicking the best pieces. Trend led but also timeless styles that will hold their value. Kind to your pocket and kind to planet. Oh yes and I'm a jumpsuit obsessive!

We are fully plastic free at Happy Dais and all packaging is either paper or reused and the energy we use at our premses is 100% renewable. 

I have 3 children and am passing my love of vintage on to them!
