Okay, so, I’ve been digging around this whole Frances Valentine thing. You know, the fashion brand? Started by Elyce Arons and Kate Spade back in 2016. Apparently, they were best friends, and I’m all for women supporting women, so that caught my eye.

First, I hit up the usual spots – you know, where you just type in the name and see what pops up. I found out that Frances Valentine is all about “timeless, spirited designs,” and they sell accessories and apparel. That sounded pretty neat, so I dug a bit deeper.
Then, I stumbled upon this one place that talked about the latest dresses from Frances Valentine. This site had a ton of other big names too, like Gucci and Valentino. Made me think, “Okay, so this Frances Valentine is playing in the big leagues.”
- I browsed through their dresses, and they had some really eye-catching stuff.
- Lots of colors, and the designs weren’t something you’d see every day.
- Definitely not your run-of-the-mill, fast-fashion type of clothing.
Next, I looked around to see if I could snag a deal, because who doesn’t love a good bargain, right? I ended up on this massive online marketplace where you can find almost anything. They had a whole bunch of Frances Valentine stuff. And the best part? They had this “money-back guarantee” thing, which always makes me feel a bit safer when I’m buying online.
Diving into the Founders
After getting a feel for their products, I got curious about the people behind the brand. I found out that Elyce Arons is the CEO, and she co-founded it with Kate Spade. I did a bit more digging about Elyce, and it turns out she’s pretty big in the fashion world. Frances Valentine is based in New York, which makes sense, being a luxury brand and all.
I also found out about their competitors. Tom Ford and Valentino, and another one I hadn’t heard of, Saks off 5th. All these are luxury brands just like Frances Valentine.

So, that’s basically my journey through the world of Frances Valentine. I started knowing nothing, poked around the internet, checked out their products, looked for deals, and got to know the founders a bit better. It was like a mini-adventure, all from my computer! They’ve got some unique stuff, and knowing it’s from a brand started by two best friends makes it even cooler.
