Red Parka
Sustainable products that will make you smile
Red Parka is the creative business of Tasmanian artists Jennifer Cossins and Tracy Colhoun. Jen began Red Parka back in 2008 with a stall at a local market and a dream to make a living from her artwork. Over the years, her business grew until she decided to open her own store in 2015 in Hobart. Not long after this, she met Tracy who soon became her partner in both business and life!
Since then, they have worked together to grow Red Parka into the thriving creative institution that it is today. In 2025, Red Parka expanded north with the opening of a new pop-up location in the Launceston city centre.
WHY WE LOVE THEM
1. Red Parka donates 50% profits to support causes that make the world a kinder place for people, animals and nature.
2. Their focus on ethical, sustainable products that celebrate the natural world.
3. Joy is a big part of their brand. Visiting their welcoming store is sure to bring a smile to your face!
