About
No one knows where Uncle Crocky comes from, but everybody wants him to stay. To the weird, the eccentric and the just plain strangely normal, Uncle Crocky’s door and heart is always open.
Perched high in an old workshop overlooking the city of Melbourne, Uncle Crocky makes weird and wonderful curiosities printed from handdrawn ink-on-paper drawings and stories tapped out on vintage typewriters. We work in small batches, and use the most local, environmentally-friendly and ethical materials we can find. Treasures are then assembled, finished and packaged by hand (claw!).
Uncle Crocky's workshop opened in late 2023, first overlooking the ocean in a secret location in New Zealand, until in 2024 Uncle Crocky packed his steamtrunkers and moved to Australia. Together with his team of eccentrics, Uncle Crocky makes treasures in a room filled with old wooden desks, typewriters, drawers of ephemera, overflowing bookcases, wooden cases of sketchbooks, a tower of near-bursting notebooks, and his beloved piano.
Uncle Crocky’s world and objects are inspired by old and odd things: unusual statues, mysterious buildings, old clocks, vintage typewriters, maps and globes, secret codes, sea and star charts, abandoned lighthouses, antique musical instruments, wooden rulers, suitcases of memories, handwritten notes, half-full bottles of ink and lost-then-found-again books.
