Since launching in February 2018 their cards have travelled the world and are now stocked in shops big and small from London to Lagos, including Oliver Bonas, Papersmiths and scribbler.com - and they’ve just inked a distribution deal back home in Australia with design-focused wholesale house Little Global. Not bad for a couple of Aussies who moved across the world in August 2017 to sing some songs and do some travelling.

In the words of Mr & Mrs Carty:

Natasha: “We never planned on starting a business over here in the U.K. We moved over because Jack was touring here so often that we were going to have to buy a jumbo jet, and so we could do some more travelling”

Jack: “Tash had been working as an illustrator and designer for other people and companies for years, but had always dreamt of starting her own paper-goods business, so we booked a trade show in February this year just to see what was what and Tash worked 14 hour days every day for two months to meet the deadline. It’s been bonkers ever since”.

Natasha is the real star of the operation. Her penchant for putting pen to paper is a bit of a family affair. She grew up in Brisbane, Queensland with an animator father (in the days before those pesky computers took all the fun out of it) and went on to study Fine Art at Griffith University and Graphic Design at CATC before sharing her sketching skills with companies, musicians and makers from all over Australia, including: Lorna Jane, Lisa Messenger, Josh Pyke, Channel 9

& Melbourne Farmers Markets.

Jack helps out by making an annoying number of dad jokes (some of which make The Cardy Club cut). His love of wordplay and storytelling has been honed by years of releasing and touring as a songwriter and musician with five full-length albums, countless national and international tours, rave reviews and awards under his belt. When it comes to The Cardy Club’s copywriting and coffee-making, Jack is your man.

When these two lovebirds aren’t on tour somewhere, or fiddling with their name tags at a fancy trade-show, you’ll often find them working away in their home-studio in North-East London, creating beautiful, funny, truthful cards that are the culmination of their creativity, their playfulness and their crazy-silly-honest-messy-funny-exhausting-cheeky life together.
