Meet Pia

From a collector’s heart, for collectors’ hearts

For some people, it may be nothing more than decoration or old paper—but to me, every single piece holds a story, pure nostalgia, and a genuine heartbeat.

My collecting journey

Collecting has been part of my life for as long as I can remember:

Shelves filled with colourful Diddl folders, pads, and other collectables.
The colourful beginnings: Diddl albums, pads, and keepsakes.
  1. 01

    Kindergarten

    My first colourful sticker albums, where every traded glitter sticker felt like hitting the jackpot.

  2. 02

    Primary school

    The unmistakable scent of Diddl stationery, the crackle of Pokémon cards, and the hunt for rare special editions in the schoolyard.

  3. 03

    Youth & today

    A fascination with authentic licence plates, rich with lived history and character from around the world.

From passion to profession

What began as a childhood enthusiasm grew over the years into genuine expertise and a worldwide network.

For many years, I’ve had the joy of helping collectors track down the missing puzzle pieces for their display cases, walls, and albums.

On the treasure hunt

The best finds are rarely waiting where you expect them.

Some discoveries begin with dusty hands, a trained eye, and the patience to work through licence plate after licence plate.

From the first look to the final selection: every find is discovered in person.

In 2026, the time had finally come to take the next step: this boutique was born from my greatest passion.

My goal is to bring you back exactly that feeling we all love about collecting—the flutter of excitement while unwrapping a parcel and the beaming smile when a long-awaited, one-of-a-kind treasure finally finds its new home.

Every piece in this shop—whether a nostalgic Diddl classic or a rare licence plate—has been selected for you with loving attention to detail, a trained eye, and genuine passion.

I’m so glad you’re here and that we share this passion.

Das ist Pia,

That's me,

Ton Collectamie 🥰
