TEEN entrepreneur extends run in her pop-up shop after seeing huge success in the first month.

Eva Younger, the 16-year-old co-founder of stationery company The Ink Pot, has opened a pop-up shop selling “high-quality” stationery on Pangbourne High Street.

Within the first month of opening, Eva and her mother Kirsten have had great success which has encouraged them to launch a new range of stock.

The pair have also extended their run in the store, with the hopes to keep it open in the run-up to Christmas.

Eva’s mum Kirsten said: “We have a new range of hand-stamped hot foil birthday/ thank you postcards. All designed by us. We think they are v cool!

“We also have some new images coming soon for the autumn which can be stamped on any of our 33 journals in any of our 5 foil colours.

“We are also going to be stocking some art from a couple of local artists and gorgeous hand-made pinboards very soon.”

Speaking about her daughter, Kirsten said Eva “has done amazingly well”.

Kirsten praised the supportive village: “The people of Pangbourne and the other shop keepers are completely wonderful. It is such a supportive community.

“We have been blown away by how welcoming everyone has been, particularly the Cheese Shop, Ninos Deli (they keep us in coffee!) and the amazing bakery, Birch Bread. Pangbourne is such a great place!”

Selling “beautiful, high-quality notebooks, pens, pencils”, the pop-up shop is open from 10am to 4pm, from Tuesdays to Saturdays.
