Since September 2011

The start of a wonderful adventure…

It all began in September 2011, when I, Emmanuelle, had the idea of creating a website devoted to the treasures of Alsatian craftsmanship, with the Jeannala & Seppala pottery collection. This passion quickly took shape with the opening of our first small shop in the picturesque Little Venice district, in September 2011.

My commitment and my love for local craftsmanship soon bore fruit. In March 2012, our shop grew and moved to the historic heart of Colmar. It was at that very moment that my sister Caroline joined the adventure, bringing new energy and a wish to grow. The range expanded to include contemporary Alsatian pottery and a selection of home decoration.

From 2015 to today

… which carries on

In 2015, our shop moved again within the historic centre of Colmar, this time to a spacious three-storey building totalling 300 m². This is where our passion for decoration blossomed, as we discovered the enchanting worlds of indoor and outdoor decoration, as well as Christmas decoration.

Our vision for the shop was clear: to create a place full of joie de vivre and gentleness. That is how we came to include the complete collection of Barbara Bukowski’s adorable Swedish soft toys, adding a touch of tenderness to our selection.

Today, our shop is much more than a place to buy things. It is a place where love for local craftsmanship, a family story and a passion for decoration come together to create a unique and warm experience.
