We are Rachel Fraser and Josie Parsley, best friends since the day we met, with a shared love of beauty and practicality - we have worked hard to create a range that we think is both beautiful and useful, and strive to improve upon with every season.
We started F&P in 2008, after both our families returned to the UK after time living in America. Now we live close by in Kent (much closer than Texas-Utah!), raising our children and growing the business around them.
Inspired by our mutual love of design, stationery, and planning, our first ranges focussed on personalised stationery, which we both love to use. We then developed our range of annual planners, designing them to be beautiful but ultimately hard working, to help tame the chaos without being prescriptive.
We have always used UK printers and suppliers for all our books, paper and cards (even down to our page marker ribbons) and feel it is an incredibly important part of F&P.
As a small business, we have graduated from the kitchen table to our own home offices, where we can be found fuelled by endless cups of tea, as we design, print, and despatch your orders.
With love,
