Joliette

Co-founders Jenna Parkes and Holly Rockbrune bring French and Belgian antiques to Canada, reviving the love for sustainable interior design

Life-long friends have Jenna and Holly have been sharing their eclectic French decor finds online since 2019. Driven by their passion, and a public interest, in European antiques, the duo were inspired to open their Pickering boutique Joliette to elevate the shopping experience for their GTA audience.

Joliette specifically sources well–made and durable pieces designed to live across generations. The antiques adopted into homes become “the new heirloom”, living on in new places. By choosing well-crafted antiques, Joliette can reduce furniture waste in landfills. These “new heirlooms” are an easy, accessible way to achieve an inheritance of sustainable haute design. Joliette’s hand selected collections have that certain je ne sais quoi, transforming spaces into a classic time capsule of style.

Add a touch of personal style with these homewares and their intricate designs. From patterned flatware and brass lighting to vintage playing cards, Joliette collection’s highlight the beauty and detail found in its European antiques.

Parkes and Rockbrune offer sourcing services, if the Joliette collections inspire the desire for something specific. The pair will travel to France for buyers and hunt for pieces that evoke that “new heirloom” feeling. This service offers shared shipping services that reduce greenhouse emissions – maintaining sustainable practices. Joliette curates its collections of antiques and art straight from the French and Belgian countryside. Centred around sustainable interior design, the antique store encourages a resurgence of curated, timeless pieces that will be loved across generations. Joliette replaces fast fashion with a desire for thoughtfully chosen vintage flatware, furniture, textiles, lighting and more.
