About Farewell Frances

Farewell Frances was started in 2020 by Carly Scheck. The brand’s focus is all about honoring the past while thinking about our future.

Our goal is to push the boundaries of what fashion looks like and how it is created. We are a relatively small operation with one in house seamstress. We have partnerships with a small family run factory in Spain, a skilled Block Printer in India, and a non-profit called PeaceQuilts based out of Haiti who help provide women a safe and supportive environment as well as the means to earn a living wage. Carly has been working with textiles for over twenty years. She sews, knits, weaves and naturally dyes fabric.

She spent a great deal of time learning and sharing with one of her Grandmothers, who also knit and sewed. The personal project grew quite a bit after a feature in US and China’s Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue Paris. Our designs are a true nod to another time.

Carly’s designs are often very inspired by her favorite childhood movies and novels; Little Women, Heidi, Anne of Green Gables, Hans Christian Anderson. Her designs often mix feminineRead their story
