Decollect in Port Hope, Ontario, reflects the "wild and original" artistry that has always been a mainstay of this gorgeous little town that dates back to the late 1700's. The shop is definitely as far away as possible from your "parents" typical antique shop!. The majority of their offerings originate from the 20's, 30's, 40's and 50's. And Decollect clients skew much younger. Decollect collectors have little interest in their parents "dark and dingy" Victorian antiques. Rather, they are the new wave of collectors...and this youthful crowd loves Bright and Shiny Art Deco pieces and off-beat items such as chrome ashtrays and dazzling figurines from the 20's and 30's! The shop itself is delightful and well worth the trip which is less than an hour from Toronto on the 401, but the fact is almost 80% of Decolette's sales are online, in keeping, no doubt, with their younger skewing collectors. Decolette is a brilliant idea whose time has come. Refreshingly unique and exciting. For more, please visit www.decollect.com
