Launched in 2016 by founder and creative director Jane Frances, Dear Frances is a London-based footwear brand committed to a 'slow fashion' approach. With a background in furniture and architectural design, Frances creates collections that emphasize clean lines, sculptural silhouettes, and modern minimalism. Each pair of shoes is handmade in Italy by multi-generational artisans, using traditional techniques and fine materials to create styles designed for longevity, both in durability and aesthetic. The brand champions conscious consumption, utilizing sustainable materials, offering a vegan collection made from apple waste, and partnering with organizations like Soles4Souls to donate a pair of shoes for every pair sold.
