About Token Atelier

Life’s twists often lead to the most unexpected chapters. I’m Cathy Bibeau, an entrepreneur with a passion for travel and creativity, on a mission to redefine souvenirs. After 35 years as a retail buyer—nearly 20 in destination tourism—the pandemic brought my career to an abrupt halt. With the world at a standstill, I faced uncertainty, but also an opportunity. I had always dreamed of owning a business that blended art and travel, crafting keepsakes that capture the essence of a journey. Then, inspiration struck—souvenirs as a gallery wall of treasured tokens, preserving travelers' memories in a unique, artistic way. And so, Token Atelier was born. More than a business, Token Atelier is a celebration of exploration, offering beautifully curated pieces that tell stories of places, moments, and adventures. As travel revived, my vision took flight—to bring a fresh, artistic approach to souvenirs, turning them into meaningful, lasting connections. This is my story: a woman, a pandemic, a vision, and a business working to change the way we remember our journeys!Read their story
