Petit Parlour London

Petit Parlour London was founded by Katherinne Soliz in Bolivia in 2015. Katherinne’s dream was to become an entrepreneur, so she embarked on this mission starting with just two kilos of chocolate and six moulds. Four years later, Katherinne – aware of the amount of opportunities there – decided to return to London. By contacting old friends and acquaintances, Katherinne was able to push her business forward, despite the pandemic. Eventually, her business became a success, getting a seal of approval in both the Latin and European community, and filling lots of orders during Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and Easter.

“From the day I started onward, I have been dedicating the time necessary every day to fulfil my dream.” – Katherinne Soliz

She offers a variety of products, including:

  • Strawberry Bouquets

  • Strawberry Towers

  • Edible Gift Boxes

  • Elaboration of edible chocolate blossoms with strawberries and raspberries

  • Frutal arrangements for any occasion

You can order any of her products by contacting her via Instagram, Whatsapp or Facebook.
