Frankie has been designing knitwear for top luxury brands and smaller independent labels for more than 20 years. Drawing on this experience, she felt compelled to create a knitwear brand which at its heart is about modern, pared back but ultimately wearable pieces, rooted in the celebration and evolution of heritage craftsmanship. Since the birth of her children Frankie has felt an increased responsibility towards a more ethical and sustainable method of sourcing and production. She knows from experience that both are possible if you really believe in them. Her background is in luxury fashion, having worked many years for heritage brand, Burberry. Across my international career she loved collaborating with knitters, experts and artisans alike, and Frankie wanted to bring this knowledge together – to create a collection that allowed her to encompass all that she was passionate about. This is how Charl was born. A collection of knitwear using rare breed traceable British wool and un-dyed baby alpaca yarns, knitted and expertly produced at her carefully selected British artisan manufacturer. Carefully considered at every step and never rushed, the collections, Frankie likes to say ‘are not ready, until they are ready’. This is fashion at a slower pace, a kinder pace to the environment.  And for you, it means that each piece and each detail is of the highest quality, ready to last and be loved for more than one lifetime.
