Gabriele Frantzen is a designer brand which is committed to craftsmanship and quality. Clear in function and playful in design, Gabriele´s vision is to create pieces that maintain relevance over time.
One perfect example are her iconic, colorul striped raffia bags- handcrafted by skilled artisans.
Another perfect daily companion is her iconic belt bag. Paired with interchangeable straps and chains, it can not only be worn crossbody or over the shoulder, but also be redesigned individually again and again. It is not a coincidence that a recurring symbol on many of Gabriele´s pieces is a scarab, representing rebirth and eternal life.
It all started with a statement necklace in 2009. Because Gabriele couldn’t find what she was looking for, she created one herself. She called it „Sense and Sensibility“, wore it on the streets of New York City and was discovered by Fern Mallis, the founder of NY Fashion Week.
Sak´s Fifth Avenue became her first retail partner. The necklace shown from the pages of Vogue, Harper´s Bazaar and sparkled on the Oscars Red Carpet, to which Gabriele was also invited. In recent years, her designs have been worn and personalized by some of the most unique next-gen style icons around. Her collaborations and limited editions are appreciated all over.
