Frankie + Claude
A thoughtfully designed stationery and lifestyle brand, based in Portland, with one goal of bringing a little more color and humor into your everyday life. Samantha Bearbower founded Frankie + Claude when she took a leap of faith in turning her weekend hobby of designing stationery into a full-fledged business. It’s been amazing to see the journey of one woman’s journey that started on the kitchen countertops of a tiny studio apartment and has blossomed into a thriving business.
A Note From Tiffany: ” At the beginning of the pandemic (and only a few short months into the launch of XO, Box) I remember receiving an email from Sam with a heartfelt apology for how their business had been affected by COVID and how it would impact the timing of my shipment. It was raw with emotion and with every word, I could feel every fibre of Sam’s being that was painstakingly poured into building Frankie + Claude. All I wanted to do was to jump in and help. Sam’s email was a powerful reminder that helped shape the core of this company. Because of women like Sam, shopping small will always remain as one of our priorities as we continue to learn more about our company and how we can continue to serve our community better.”
