Meet your new favourite accessory: the Little Penguin. This cheeky little character is printed in bold, layered colour on a piece of recycled acrylic, then cut and finished by hand into a wearable pin you can clip onto a bag, jacket, hat or lanyard. It's small, it's sturdy, and it carries a genuinely good story: made in Australia, from recycled plastic, by two people who care about where materials end up.

Made with heart in Brisbane

This little penguin is designed and made by Matt and Kylie, the husband-and-wife team behind Smyle Designs, a small Brisbane studio turning recycled plastic into colourful, wearable art. Smyle Designs is an official licensee of the Australian Made campaign, so this isn't just designed in Australia, it's certified made here too.

Good for you, good for the planet

Each pin is cut from recycled acrylic and finished with original artwork, so nothing new is made just to create something cute. It's a small way to wear your love of Australian wildlife without costing the planet.

Proudly supporting WWF Australia

Smyle Designs is an official sponsor of WWF Australia (World Wide Fund for Nature), the organisation working to protect endangered species and their habitats. Every Little Penguin Pin you buy helps contribute to that work, so you're supporting real penguins, not just wearing one.

The perfect gift, or a treat for you

Pin it to a tote bag, lanyard, hat or your favourite denim jacket. The Little Penguin Pin makes a sweet stocking filler, a thank-you gift, or just a "why not" for yourself, because sometimes you deserve a tiny, colourful penguin of your very own.
