Frankie + Claude is a thoughtfully designed stationery & lifestyle brand. Our goal is to bring a little more color and humor into your everyday life. We celebrate life's moments, big and small, and remind you to never take yourself too seriously.... because laughter is good for the soul (it's science).
Based out of the Pacific Northwest, what began as a creative outlet on the kitchen counter-tops of our tiny Portland studio apartment is now a thriving little business with a small, talented group of amazing employees. From our hand-lettered greeting cards to our pretty and functional matches, our hope is that you discover something truly special with us.
We are so honored to have been featured on numerous websites, print and media outlets, including Joanna Gaines' Magnolia Journal, Real Simple, Good Morning America, Stationery Trends Magazine, and Gift Shop Magazine to name a few, as well as Oh So Beautiful Paper, The Paper Chronicles, Discover Paper, One Wed and She's Charming!
ABOUT THE PEOPLE
I am Samantha, the Founder + Creative Director behind Frankie + Claude, and also the "Frankie" part of our name. After graduating from art school I took a detour from design to work in the legal field for nearly a decade. Designing stationery began as a creative outlet. Inspired by my passion for design and creativity, what began as a weekend hobby transformed into Frankie + Claude.
Fall 2015 marked an incredible time. I took a leap of faith and quit my paralegal job to pursue running my business full-time. I've never looked back and could not be happier. I am so fulfilled to be able to do what I love everyday, and working with my shop dogs at my feet is pretty amazing too.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking the time to browse our shop. Thank you for shopping small, for supporting a women-owned business, and for following along our journey. People like you make Frankie + Claude a reality, and we are endlessly grateful. We hope you enjoy the color, find some beautiful things and some things that make you laugh a little too.
Give pretty. Live Practically.
