Like You, We Think The Details Matter
At Franc, we know that every detail counts. From the fabrics we use to the people behind the scenes, transparency is our promise to you. We're upfront about where your clothes come from and how they're made, so you can feel confident that every purchase aligns with your values. You're not just buying a piece of clothing—you're making a positive impact.
A Conscious Wardrobe Starts Here
When you wear Franc, you’re not just styling a look—you’re supporting sustainable fashion. Our clothes are made from eco-friendly materials and are crafted locally in Canada. That means fewer emissions, fair wages, and clothes that last. So go ahead, wear your values, and feel great knowing you're making the world a more sustainable place—one outfit at a time.
Certified B Corporation™: Walking the Talk
Franc is proud to be a Certified B Corporation™, meaning we meet the highest standards for social and environmental impact. We embed these values into everything we do—ensuring that all of our decisions equally consider our workers, customers, and the planet. When you choose Franc, you're supporting a business that believes fashion should be a force for good.
Our Factory Partners: Close, Local, and Ethical
Our clothing is cut and sewn just 20 kilometers from where we work, allowing us to maintain a close partnership with our factory. This keeps our carbon footprint low and ensures workers are paid fairly according to Ontario’s employment standards. We visit regularly to make sure the people who make your clothes are treated as well as those who wear them.
Finer Details: Our main factory partner employs 48 trained workers, with starting pay at $15/hr for new hires and $22/hr+ for experienced staff. We also work with them to repurpose fabric offcuts into useful materials like rags and fabric wraps to minimize waste.
Our Fabric: Sustainable From the Start
We source our fabric from sustainable and certified origins. Our main blend is a custom-knit mix of TENCEL™ and GOTS certified Organic Cotton, dyed with Bluesign® certified, non-toxic dyes. All fabric production happens in Toronto, keeping our environmental footprint low and ensuring quality.
Finer Details: Our TENCEL™ comes from Austria, our GOTS-certified Organic Cotton from Turkey, and our dyes from a dye house that runs on renewable energy. This closed-loop system helps ensure minimal waste and impact on the planet.
Transparent Pricing & Ethical Labor
At Franc, every dollar you spend goes toward ethical production, high-quality fabrics, and a sustainable future. We’re transparent about where your clothes come from and how they’re priced. No markups for the sake of huge profit—just fair wages for the people who make your clothes and a conscious approach to fashion.
Clothes That Last
We design our clothes to last well beyond a season, using premium fabrics that maintain their shape and feel. Whether it’s a basic tee or a dress, Franc pieces stand the test of time, ensuring you get more out of every piece in your wardrobe. Fewer replacements mean less waste—and a more sustainable closet.
Made Close to Home
By keeping our production in Canada, we minimize the risks associated with global supply chains, like poor working conditions and long shipping routes. This local approach ensures quality control, ethical standards, and a lower carbon footprint.
Plastic-Free, Because the Planet Matters
We’re committed to reducing waste, and that starts with how we ship your clothes. Our shipping bags are made from compostable kraft paper, and all of our hangtags and marketing materials are printed on 100% recycled paper. We’ve eliminated plastic from our process to keep your carbon footprint as low as possible.
Supporting Women in Need
When we have extra inventory, we donate it to the YWCA women’s shelters in Toronto. We ensure that these new or like-new clothes go to women in need, helping them as they rebuild their lives. Franc also donates 2% of our revenues to organizations like Food Bank Canada and True North Aid, because giving back is core to who we are.
Carbon-Neutral Shipping: Offsetting Every Order
Every time you place an order, the carbon emissions are calculated, and we purchase removal credits to offset them. These credits support groundbreaking technologies like Running Tide, which captures and stores carbon in the ocean for a minimum of 1,000 years. Shipping with Franc means you can shop sustainably—without the guilt.
