Dear Frances

Dear Frances is an award winning footwear label, based in London. Inspired by the contrasts of fine texture, warm tones and clean symmetry, Dear Frances shoes are made by hand with the highest quality leathers and materials in the Vigevano region of Northern Italy. Their seasonal collections hold a beautifully distinctive mood and offer a uniquely refined approach to texture and colour. After studying in London and Milan, designer Jane Frances took up an internship at a family-owned footwear factory in Italy. Here she trained in the artisan craft of footwear design under the guidance of her celebrated teacher and mentor. Today, Dear Frances shoes are still made by hand at the same factory, using the age-old techniques handed down through generations of artisan shoe makers. Timeless and elegant, yet strong and independent, Dear Frances brings a unique and fresh vision to luxury footwear design.
