Living in Japan during the early 2000’s, B and Yayoi took the opportunity to travel and research developing the concept for the Butterfly Shop’s inception. Early versions of the store were proven in Japan but it wasn’t until their return to Australia in 2010 that B & Yayoi were compelled to truly express and the Butterfly Shop was established. Now married and with a young family B & Yayoi lavish the lush Nth Queensland and like most up this way enjoy the rainforest, beaches and tropical islands whenever possible. “Our hope is to give our customers a truely honest experience, a genuine feeling of contentment and the desire to return in the near future”.

Zonky Plonky started life in Cairns in 1998 as an offshoot from our Tshirt and Clothing company to fill a desperate need for specialist and alternative greeting cards and gifts. Now located in the funky caf� and boutique precinct of Grafton Street in Cairns city centre we have evolved considerably over the years. In keeping with our personal ideologies we have grown to include and favour Fair Trade products and fashion where possible with the addition of Australian Made. A personal passion for quality candles, room fragrance and soap led to the creation of our own brand - House Of Mojo - in 2007. Today we stock it exclusively in Zonky Plonky, and strive to grow and improve our products and range. We also offer a refill service for our Soy Container candles, which is not only environmentally responsible but is incredibly economical for you the customer! Whilst Zonky Plonky is not yet exclusively Fair Trade, we remain passionate about supporting those who strive to make a better life for themselves and their communities either through Fair Trade practices or by choosing to create products that are being ethically and sustainably made. Australian designers, too, have a lot to contribute with their own flair and style and we are proud to be able to carry some of their products such as the Anna Hulm clothing label. Welcome to Zonky Plonky!
