THE BINKABU ARCHIVES
Halloween Collections
These archives serve as a trip down memory lane, highlighting some of the most popular collections in BINKABU history, as well as pivotal moments for the brand.
2024 Halloween Collection
A touch of the macabre, an edge of adventure, a sprinkle of innovation
Our 2024 Halloween Collection was a monumental release for BINKABU, featuring our very first mammal earrings - the grey-headed flying fox, fruit bat, or The Imposter. This design has since become one of our most highly sought after pieces, due to its adorable design and the very surprising and unusual step outside of our usual avian niche.
BEST-SELLER: The Imposter

The Plague Doctor
The Plague Doctor was the second most popular design in the 2024 Halloween Collection. This design is one of my favourites to date; In all the years I have been doing this, I have never been as satisfied as I was when this came together. The concept, the illustration, the vibe, the colours... perfection.
2023 Halloween Collection
In this collection, we unleashed the true wild and quirky nature of our creativity. Our commitment to fun, whimsical, and ultimately unique pieces lead to the conception of the Cthurlew (a Curlew-Cthulhu hybrid creature), the Spellaburra, Frankenstein's Parrot, and the Jack-Owl-Lantern. This collection felt like a transition for us as designers, a moment where we trusted our instincts and let ourselves explore the boundaries of ridiculousness, resulting in a cohesive collection of quirky little feathered monsters.
This collection also featured a handful of extra goodies like stickers, pins, charms and shirts.
BEST-SELLER: The Spellaburra

The 'Cthurlew'
The 'Cthurlew' is a bush stone-curlew/Cthulhu hybrid creature. Yes, it is ridiculous. I think what makes me so thrilled about the 'Cthurlew' is that it had its naysayers, and I myself wasn't convinced anyone would really 'get' it. But it was the second most popular design in 2023. I don't know how I ended up mashing these two things together, but it happened, and I am so glad it did.
2021-2022 Halloween Collections
In 2021 came the first iteration of the Spookaburra, a kookaburra skeleton that was absolutely perfect for Halloween. So perfect, in fact, that it would come back for 3 years in a row, as a strong seller each time.
In 2022 we updated some of our 2021 designs quite significantly. New snowy owls were introduced, very similar to how they appear in the 2024 collection, including the magical addition of the golden letter.
My personal favourite of the designs in this period was The Tell-Tale Raven, a dangle earring featuring a raven hanging from a realistic heart stud topper. This design was inspired by two mysterious and macabre stories by Edgar Allan Poe: The Tell-Tale Heart and The Raven.
