Bruce Parker Curiosities has a new owner! The venerable destination for quality home goods, fashion, jewellery and pottery was purchased by Mansi Patel mid-summer. Mansi is the 4th owner of the business after previous owner Joselyn King retired earlier in the 2024 after nine years of managing the business. Mansi, who was previously involved in international sales and marketing found her lifelong dream in purchasing this mainstay of Wortley Village. For over 35 years, Curiosities has promoted Canadian artisans and ethical and fair trade as their mandate. Mansi has continued in this endeavour by adding more artists to their roster of fine and original products. 90% of the inventory remains Canadian, but Mansi goes beyond borders to find quality goods. She tells me of dedicated shoppers who have been friends of the business for many years and with three decades of service and loyalty behind her, Mansi and Curiosities will continue to serve Wortley Village.
