Confiture Parisienne says "heartily yours" for Mother's Day

Juliette's passion is to engrave little words of love on our grandmothers' spoons. For Mother's Day, it was only natural that Confiture Parisienne teamed up with Juliette, founder of Les Petites Cuillères de Juliette, to design the perfect gift to say "I love you" to her mother. 

She tells us more...

Tell us about yourself! How did your company come about?

My name is Juliette, I launched Juliette's Little Spoons4 years ago. The concept already existed, I didn't invent anything! I wanted to buy my own engraved spoon but nobody was doing it in France and I had the idea to create my brand at that time! I was the first to launch the project in France.

Where did your passion for spoons come from and why did you want to make a business out of it? 

The passion for spoons came to me afterwards, when I came across rare and very beautiful pieces! At the beginning, it was really the engraving process that intrigued and interested me, but as I came across old pieces, with flowers! That's when my passion started! And the idea wasn't really to make a business out of it, I just wanted to do something for fun and I realised I could make a living out of it, the perfect equation for personal fulfilment.

Where do you get your spoons and what makes them so special? 

I don't have any suppliers or wholesalers, I have two or three contacts who send me a few pieces, but otherwise I stock my own. After 4 years, I am beginning to know how to find the little wonders! It also took me time to perfect my engraving technique and to find the right material.

There are a lot of people engraving spoons now, doesn't the competition scare you?

So, no, not at all. I was the first to launch the concept in France and I'm very happy that others are following suit. There was a time when I was worried about it, but not anymore, each engraver has his own universe and I trust mine. What bothers me is those who copy, I think it's a shame to copy and paste the work of others, it's very frustrating.

How did you get the chance to work with the founders of Confiture Parisienne ? 

I contacted Laura and Nadège at the confiturerie to consider a collab, the one for Christmas 2019, and then I immediately became friends with Laura, hence the name I gave to the first little spoon in my collection, "La Laura"! My office is actually in the jam shop! We are co-workers since November 2019.

Why this Mother's Day collaboration?

It was the girls who suggested that I work with Mother's Day. They were convinced that my rather feminine universe fitted perfectly with the celebration of Mother's Day. For this collaboration, I propose a golden spoon in the shape of a flower petal with 10 different messages: "Mummy love", "Mummy dear", little hearts, little flowers, "I love you" and many others! A gift full of love that lasts forever, the ideal gift for a mother.

What can we expect from Juliette's Little Spoons in the future?

So I've just launched my own spoon collection! Just like the ones in the box, it's a small golden spoon, all round, no frills. So what we can expect from my little spoons in the future is even more creations that will complete my collection and maybe even other collections and collaborations!

Sweet words for a spoonful of love and as Juliette would say, spoonfully yours.
