DECOTIQUE, CYSTIC FIBROSIS FOUNDATION CELEBRATES SECOND ANNIVERSARY ART DECO STYLE

In a joint effort to raise funds and awareness of Cystic Fibrosis, a chronic and debilitating disease which affects 30,000 children and adults in the US, 70,000 worldwide, Decotique.com partners with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of Greater Delaware Valley. Decotique.com donates 10% of its proceeds to the Foundation in support of patients and families, continued research and community awareness.

Owner Kate Butler announced the Grand Opening of Decotique.com in February, 2008, specializing in Art Deco, Moderne Era Antiques – a shop whose goal to help fight CF is personal. Having lost a daughter to CF several years ago, she had been seeking a fitting memorial in celebration of Jessica’s life. With plans in the works of starting her own business, Kate wanted to find a way to combine her passion for The Moderne Era as a loving tribute to Jess as well as an effective tool to help others. Thus, Decotique.com was born. Kate and her family were appreciative of the kindness shown by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation during their daughter’s illness and felt they had to find a way to give something back. Combining more than 20 years experience fighting CF with her expertise in the stylish world of Art Deco Fashion and period antiques, Kate has made a meaningful connection between both worlds. While sharing her love for the Moderne Era, Kate’s goal is to reach new audiences in order to raise awareness of the disease. In addition to her web shop, Kate presents informative and entertaining talks on Antique and Vintage Purses to historical societies and other groups.

A veteran collector, Kate has an eye for fashion of the Roaring Twenties. Knowing where best to find these treasures at fair prices is a skill she guards zealously. Her web shop offers more then Deco eye candy. It literally transports you back to the time of the Speak Easy, Flappers and glamour of Vaudeville and Golden Years of Hollywood. Kate has recently incorporated antiques of the Art Nouveau Era to round out her inventory. To accessorize at Decotique.com is a special treat.
