About

Welcome to Eklecticool –

Eclectic vintage finds with cool looks. From mid-century modernist, brutalist, minimalist, and Art Deco to antique treasures, to chic fashion, and much more.

I am a born collector and an artist at heart. And I believe we all are.
Extraordinary cave paintings were made more than 40,000 years ago. The oldest known jewellery is a set of 33 perforated sea snail shells estimated to be between 142,000 and 150,000 years old. The appreciation of beauty is in our DNA.

The pieces I’ve collected bring me real joy. Setting up this shop is a way to share that joy - and, hopefully, to fund the next round of collecting!

Blue and white porcelain is one of the things I love to collect. When I first started, I came across a rare shipwreck piece and bought it right away. The seller was very interested in the rest of my collection. It turned out he was a collector too! He was willing to part with the piece because he was raising funds for a blue and white vase he had his eye on.

That trade stuck with me. It inspired me to open an Etsy shop named Eklecticool, where I began selling some of my pieces. That was eight years ago. But over time, Etsy has become crowded with cheap, mass-produced goods. So here I am - welcoming you to my very own online shop.

I still have hundreds of items to list, so do pop back in from time to time!

Warmly,

Paul
