The Frances & Francis Etsy collection displays a series of faux flowers. Interestingly, while the petals are paper-based, an element of nature is incorporated as the patterns are attached to real stems.
The designer behind the Frances & Francis label is Helen Frances, an artist based in the north of London. Attached to the long stems and handcrafted blossoms are tags featuring names and heartwarming messages that read "Just Because" and "You're lovely." What distinguishes her project from others is that the buds are everlasting, providing memorable gifts that can be held on to throughout the years. Her Etsy-based shop has also been quite successful, receiving top reviews written on behalf of her satisfied customers.
