We only get frames from suppliers who we like
We get our frames from suppliers who we trust and like - many of our suppliers are family businesses and we have met them all in real life - usually on our annual trip to Paris for the global trade fair called Silmo.
Everything we stock has been hand picked by us, whether it’s our lowest or highest cost frame - we don’t sell any that are not well made or any with silly designer labels on the side.
Soon we are getting some from Spain - a company called Folc, with designer Marta and husband Paul running things. We have a long standing relationship with Dutch couple Hans and Nicole in the Netherlands, who run Heyelander and Franck in The Jura, France who runs the company his father started. it’s great having relationships with people all over Europe, even though the paperwork and costs of dealing with them is annoying since Brexit.
