About Franklin & Rose
Franklin & Rose is the labor of love from Leigha, an Interior Designer turned entrepreneur who, in the wake of the 2020 pandemic, took a leap of faith to create something of her own. When the world shut down, Leigha lost her job in interior design, but instead of seeing it as a setback, she saw it as an opportunity to finally build her dream. She poured all her savings into opening a small boutique in her hometown, and named it after her grandparents, Franklin and Rose, to honor their legacy.
What started as a small, local boutique quickly grew into a thriving brand—thanks, in part, to Leigha’s openness in sharing her journey on TikTok. With over 225K followers across TikTok and Instagram, Franklin & Rose became a name people could connect with, not just for its products, but for its story.
As Leigha learned the ins and outs of running a retail business, she began experimenting with her first love: design. Drawing inspiration from her background in interior design, she started creating bags and apparel, often working with traditional Block Print fabrics she once used in interiors. The result? A collection that combines timeless artistry with modern design—pieces that reflect the spirit of individuality, an ancient art, and bold creativity.
Today, Franklin & Rose has evolved from a once small boutique into a growing Bag and Apparel brand with locations in Florida and South Carolina, and an eye on further expansion in 2025. Every piece is made with passion, care, and a desire to create beautiful products that last and make a statement.
Franklin & Rose isn’t just a brand—it’s a celebration of resilience, craftsmanship, and the joy of following your heart.
