In an effort to minimize waste, we have made it possible to purchase from our selection of sample stock.

These styles have been previously used and may bear slight markings. Each sample showcases minimal imperfections and has undergone thorough quality checks by our production team to ensure they are free from significant damage and suitable for sale. All prices are reflective of these imperfections and not eligible for return.

All sample purchases are non-refundable. Please allow up to 5 working days for your order to be fulfilled. If you have any further questions, please contact us at info@dearfrances.com

Find out more about our process

Our eco-vegan apple leather is produced by using cellulose fibres from apples. The fabric is produced by using fibres (the pulp) derived as residuals from the industrial processing of apples. Fruit residual is naturally dried and turned into an apple powder which is then used in the production of this collection, making use of the waste product that would have otherwise been discarded.

A sustainable approach for a conscious wardrobe

“The essence of our sustainable approach is our desire to slow fashion down, by focusing on investment pieces that can be worn time and again, season after season. We strongly believe in reverting back to quality, long-lasting styles, with ethical material choices.”
