In day to day life we have many essential items which help us to stay organized amidst the chaos of everyday living. Life is hard, however it does get that little bit easier by making our creature comforts look and feel like they’re made especially for us!
We live in a world of over eight billion people. No one is the same and so, it seems perfectly acceptable for us to want to express our individuality in every element of our life. This ethos of expressing yourself and being unapologetically you is at the very heart of The Happy Tribe, a company founded by Gillian Sutherland and her business partner to offer beautiful and personalized collections that reflect the customers personalities and lifestyles.
In this article, we had the privilege of having a conversation with Gillian Sutherland, as we delve deeper into what The Happy Tribe really stands for, their mission and core values.
An Amazing Creative Journey Worth Talking About
Gillian’s Journey begins in Scotland. With the goal of following her childhood dream, Gillian went on to do a masters degree in social work and child protection and then started working as a child protection social worker, having more than 15 years of experience in the field. When her husband started working in Dubai 11 years ago, she decided to work as a freelancer but becoming a mother didn’t allow her to continue. Fortunately, when she was able to move to Dubai 3 years ago, she had the chance to explore what she really loved, being able to expose herself to new experiences and opportunities.
With a genuine passion for making beautiful, luxury and personalized products, Gillian became the founder of the Happy Tribe, establishing the company in 2022.
“As a wife and a mother of three girls, I immensely value the idea of staying organized, making it part of my personality which is something that is very reflected in the product I design.”
“From an early age, I always knew I was destined to make the world a more beautiful and organized place.” Says Gillian, founder and CEO of the successful company, The Happy Tribe.
Growing up with an eye for detail and creative flare, Gillian used her innate abilities to form the creative roots of what would become a successful business.
Crafting Unique Experiences
Gillian loves the process of bringing ideas to life, something that has been heavily present in her day to day dealings, through her business as well as her family. She is proud of her ability to combine her creative edge with her business acumen, to make high quality products that prioritize practicality.

We are immensely proud of what has been achieved so far, and excited to see where The Happy Tribe will go next. The sky’s the limit” She added.
From tote bags to cosmetic pouches, slippers and pajamas, there really is something for everyone, and this ethos of inclusivity is extremely important to the brand.
The Happy Tribe takes great delight in creating and designing each item, making sure it contains thoughtful personalisations, colors and tones that appeal to all.

“I saw an opportunity to make everyday items stylish and beautiful in a simple, organized way, making life easier whilst offering soulful originality and creative ingenuity. I find genuine love, joy and inspiration in the small details from the thoughtful personalisations to the colors and tones which reflect every customer.” She states.
