After years in the fashion & textile industry in Australia and Japan, Francie was born from a desire for luxurious knitwear that is also low impact. The collection focuses on natural fibers that breathe with you, and designs that move with you, between occasions, seasons, and years. Beautiful design that happens to be transparent, sustainable, and ethical.

Founded in Melbourne, and now based in Auckland, Francie knits are a celebration of local industry on both sides of The Tasman. Francie knitwear is made from premium yarns and created in some of the last remaining small, ethically certified, factories in Australia & New Zealand.
