Funky & Green: The Beauty Of Sustainable Giving

This spring, Funky & Green in Manly is all about gifts that feel good to give and even better to receive. Founder Molly Linton has created a space where sustainability and style come together, making it the perfect spot to discover a gift with meaning for someone in your life, or yourself.

Looking for the perfect gift with a little more heart? Step inside Funky & Green in Manly, the Beaches’ newest boutique bringing eco-chic style to our coastal community.

This bright, beautiful sustainable homewares and accessories store is brimming with treasures you’ll love to give (and keep!). In a world of fast fashion and mass production, shoppers are rediscovering the joy of gifts that carry meaning, artistry, and heart.

Walking into Funky & Green feels like stepping into a thoughtfully curated haven. Shelves are lined with handmade pieces, each carrying the story of the artisan who crafted it. Every product has been carefully selected from small Australian designers, with many made locally.

Behind the boutique is Molly Linton, who, after running two successful stores in the UK, has brought her passion for ethical shopping home to Manly.

“Every piece in the store has a story,” Molly says. “It’s about choosing gifts that are beautiful, practical, and kind to the planet.”

Molly is always on the lookout for sustainable brands to add to her collection, and this season she’s stocked the shelves with plenty of fresh finds ready for the summer ahead.

What's new on the shelves?

PAPERMOON: an ethical body care range made from natural ingredients and packaged in paper, not plastic. Luxurious, earth-friendly, and a joy to use.

LITTLE CHANGE CREATORS: a fabulous children’s range of double-sided silicone mats with non-toxic markers, available in seven fun designs. They’re reusable, washable, mess-free, and perfect for travel or mealtime activities, a brilliant birthday gift or stocking filler.

MY FUNKY BAGS: Molly’s own eco-friendly brand woven from recycled plastic water bottles. The new spring/summer collection is arriving soon, just in time for beach days and Christmas gifting.

Shopping that Makes A Difference

Buying local doesn’t just support small business owners, it uplifts communities, reduces environmental impact, and fosters a deeper connection between shopper and maker. Each purchase at Funky & Green is part of a bigger story: one that celebrates craftsmanship, sustainability, and authenticity.

So next time you’re wandering through the heart of Manly, skip the chain stores and step into Funky & Green. You’ll not only find the perfect gift, you’ll be giving back to the planet and the people who help it thrive.
