From Village Markets to Global Homes: A Shopify Store for French Antiques

Two American sisters turned their grandmother’s passion for French antiques into a global business.
I built a refined Shopify store that showcases their finds, connects to marketplaces like Etsy and Google Shopping, and integrates logistics for worldwide shipping.

Alek made our Shopify store faster and more effective. Conversions improved within weeks, and the whole process was smooth and professional. Highly recommend!

Project Brief

Inspired by their French grandmother, the sisters travel through village markets in France to handpick authentic antiques and sell them to a global audience. Their mission is to share the charm and history of French craftsmanship with the world.
The client needed a Shopify website that could elegantly present their curated antiques, integrate with marketing tools such as Google Merchant Center and Etsy, and connect seamlessly with logistics providers to ensure fast, secure global delivery.
