Fourteen years, countless stitches, and one incredible journey.💕🧶As French Knot celebrates its 14th anniversary, we’re taking a look back at the moments that brought us here!
Photo 1: Every handmade story has a first stitch. Lindsay’s started at 6 years old with a head full of balloons, a heart full of imagination, and the courage to create something different.
-
Photo 2: What began as a childhood love of making things grew into a lifelong passion, leading Lindsay to study Fashion and Textile Design at Syracuse University. Here Lindsay is pictured with one of her looks from her senior collection!
-
Photo 3: Lindsay worked in the fashion industry for 7 years before starting French Knot in 2012. Her parents never questioned whether her dream would work—they simply asked how they could help make it happen. They became business partners (without any business background) and her Dad built her a small office in his barn.
-
Photo 4: Lindsay founded French Knot with a vision that extended beyond beautiful products. The talented women artisans in Nepal are at the heart of French Knot, bringing each piece to life with their remarkable craftsmanship.
-
Photo 5: At its first trade show, French Knot sold more than 12,000 pieces. With the help of family and friends, every order was packed and shipped from the family barn.
-
Photo 6: While working full-time, Lindsay’s parents devoted countless evenings and weekends to helping bring her vision to life. More than a decade later, they remain an integral part of the French Knot story, and Lindsay could not be more grateful for their support.
-
Photo 7: Fourteen years later, French Knot continues to create heirloom-quality accessories inspired by vintage craftsmanship, partnering with more than 500 retailers around the world. We have been honored by the support of our customers and boutique partners, whose loyalty and enthusiasm have shaped our story from the very beginning.
