Frank's story

Hailing from the forests of northern Sweden, Frank the bear made his way to Stockholm looking for us. Why? Because Frank, dressed for the part in his oh-so-cool beanie and sunnies, was desperate to work in fashion. We took him in, and he showed us his secret talent – a photographic memory – which he has since used to memorize every material in our database and every trend on the market. With this wealth of knowledge, Frank advises brands on the best products for their upcoming lines with the click of a finger… er, paw.

Frank is now touring the top fashion shows helping brands find the products they’re after, and squeezing in a few dance moves on the way.

Why brands love Frank

Sourcing hasn’t always been as simple as it is today. Perhaps it’s still not simple for everyone… forgotten notebooks, choppy communication, the list of possible woes is long – but with Frank, they’re a thing of the past. If you haven’t switched over to sourcing with Frank, now’s the time. Just ask Frank.
