Frankie & Ava
Timeless fashion for kids, Frankie & Ava is made with love in the UK and Venice, CA, by designer Natasha Lee Thomas who previously spent many years making big people's clothes for Ralph Lauren, Levi's and Donna Karan.
We are influenced by the curiosity of our children and the enchantment of the cities where we have lived, so we strive to inspire, combining our English heritage with the sunny vibes of coastal California, the spirit of youth with the wisdom of the past.
Frankie & Ava's Knitwear is hand made (with love) in the Uk.
Our Proud Master Knitters have been creating sweaters since they were little girls & boys and take great pride in this age-old tradition.
They continue to celebrate their craft by producing luxurious pieces for their own families and now for Frankie & Ava, too.
This is a skill that has waned in popularity over the years - fading from an integral part of daily life to a casual hobby.
But that's also what makes it so special.
We thank you for supporting these gifted artisans and helping to keep this art form alive for future generations.
And it has to be said, Frankie and Ava are real people who know what they like.
Frankie is a bright, active kid who is always ready to express his opinion.
Come on, would you wear that if you were me?
I want nice clothes like grown-ups wear.
I want to look cool, okay, but I have to be able to run and jump and climb, and get scruffy sometimes, you know?
As for Ava you could just say she's a bit of a tomboy and likes to wear clothes that let her move around freely.
If she doesn't like something, her look will tell you, she has a touch of the supermodel and does great pout!
Likes to look laid back but feel feminine too.
So I started Frankie & Ava because I wanted to produce cool, comfortable, understated classics.
Our clothes are washable, sustainable, and intended for the everyday adventure that modern kids enjoy.
We hope that you will like the clothes in our latest collection, and that your children will enjoy wearing them.
We are looking forward to hearing your ideas and opinions - and theirs!
