Pocket Carnival is a label created by Penny Eager in Melbourne, Australia. All items are designed and made in our bright & cheerful studio. Pocket Carnival has been operating since 2007. Now that everything's a little bigger and busier, Chris (the partner-in-crime) helps too. Chris's skills include: folding cards, postal deliveries & being super organised. Pocket Carnival & the Environment We are totally concerned about the changes in our environment. Pocket Carnival is committed to being as eco-friendly as possible, including in the following ways: Green electricity: Our studio is powered with electricity from 100% Wind Power (renewable energy, hooray!) Organic & recycled fabrics: Our fabric items (purses, softies, cushions) are made of 100% certified organic cotton and our purses are lined and reinforced with recycled or vintage fabric. (We wash the fabric before we use it!) Pocket Carnival uses GOTS certified organic cotton because we love that no pesticides are used, there are strict guidelines in the processing of the cotton, and workers are paid in line with ILO standards. Recycled cardstock Our greeting cards and art prints are printed on 100% post-consumer recycled card. We've found a fabulous card which is smooth and a little velvety, is archival and acid-free & looks great when it's printed. We love walking through forests, not printing on them! Biodegradable packaging Where possible, we use biodegradable cello-bags and recycled packaging for our items. We are also vegetarian (and, like, 99% vegan), enjoy bike riding and using public transport, and never leave our computers on stand-by overnight. If you have any comments, ideas or suggestions please feel free to email!

Penny has recently launched a new companion site to Pocket Carnival, called Oh My Green. It's a website to share favourite products that have been designed & created sustainably, along with info about great people, businesses & events. Oh My Green is also a resource directory created with crafters, artists and small businesses in mind, with a growing number of links to supplies & information. This is a photo of Penny working. Hello!
