SLOW MADE SHOP

Discover our range of slow-made, small-batch Francli goods. From limited editions to pre-order pieces, everything in our Slow Made Shop is individual, and guided by the quality materials that we source and salvage. Our team of talented makers always work with zero waste in mind.

COLLABORATION

Have an idea you want to bring to life? We love working with like-minded makers, bright-eyed brands and creative studios to invent all-new products. In the past we’ve worked on exclusive collections such as tool rolls for blacksmith forge Alex Pole, potters aprons for The Leach Pottery and belly-board bags for Otter Surfboards.

MATERIALS

Hardy canvases, vegetable tanned leathers and durable climbing rope. The materials we use are the very cornerstone of Francli, providing our products with the quality to last a lifetime.  

Everything we source, from specially salvaged ship sails, to Oaxacan woven rugs, comes with a tale to tell. Which is why nothing is wasted. We also champion transparent supply chains, and if our sourcing can help preserve traditional craft skills, we’re right behind it.
