My mother and I started anniefrannie’s in 2006 based on our desire to be creative and a love of color and fabrics. We started making bags for friends using whimsical, modern fabric combinations.  We received a strong positive response for our color and pattern choices, and realized that we should expand our products to include other accessories.  Our diaper and wipe clutches and brag books came next.  They soon took on a life of their own!  We are having so much fun creating; to be able to work together is an unexpected gift.

 

Coming up with fabulous and unexpected fabric combinations is so much fun.  We are proud that the end product is a beautiful yet functional item.  We are delighted when we hear how much people enjoy our creations.
