Who we are

Dupenny is based by the sea in Brighton, UK.  We spend our days thinking up curious themes, doodling pretty pictures, getting more ink on ourselves than on the paper, and above all loving what we do.

Our inspirations

We like retro themes, making people smile, and the simple impact of black & white. Sometimes we use colour in small doses, but only if you persuade us with tea and chocolate hobnobs.

Our products

Every Dupenny product is carefully made by hand from start to finish.  Designs are initially hand drawn before being finalised on a computer.  We choose to hand screen-print our products because not only is it fun to get messy, but it ensures that no two items are identical.  They are each subject to variations in print, and even minor imperfections.  But this is what makes them beautiful and unique ... we like to call this Imperfect Perfection.

Our ethos

At Dupenny we believe in sustainable design. Wherever possible we use 100% natural materials, right down to the packaging our products come in. There is no excuse for unnecessary waste, so we recycle as much as we can.
