Junque Shop
Pawtucket, RI
My grandfather always loved to take me shopping (or, “piddlin,” as he called it) on idle afternoons. Often times, we’d walk into an eclectic boutique or antique store, and he would declare it was full of “J-U-N-Q-U-E!” - meaning frivolous, essentially useless stuff. To my eye, however, those were always the most magical stores - full of color, kitsch, whimsy, and excitement!
As a lifelong “junque” collector, I started Junque Shop in 2017, hoping to bring a sense of excitement to customers through my fun and joyful selection of vintage clothing and accessories :-)
