Seattle — Following the U.S. e-commerce launch of the women’s fashionable comfort footwear brand, FRANKiE4 has announced the opening of its new store and U.S. headquarters in Capitol Hill, one of Seattle’s hippest neighborhoods.
FRANKiE4 Footwear has grown from its Australian roots with a focus on footwear fashion grounded in game-changing, patent-designed foot support. The store offers the full FRANKiE4 collection of luxe leather footwear: sneakers, dress flats, sandals, heels and boots. Private, expert fittings will be offered for customers to have a personalized experience that proves comfort shouldn’t be a compromise to fashionable style.
“We are so excited to bring an already-thriving Australian brand to the U.S. market and could think of no better place than Seattle. The city is known for its product innovators and disruptors, which is exactly what FRANKiE4 is all about. A predominantly women-led brand, we have taken women’s footwear and redesigned shoes specifically for our unique feet — delivering fashion and comfort without sacrificing one over the other. We’re looking forward to our continuous growth here in the U.S. market,” says Cathy Barnett, CEO Global.
Since its inception in 2010, the award-winning Australian footwear brand has gained a cult following through word of mouth, social media, pop-up events, brick-and-mortar stores, continuous evolution of the product and its talented staff (the “Sole Savers”). The Seattle store is an exciting step in the brand’s recent expansion on the heels of the launch of its U.S. website in 2021. The U.S. expansion firmly signifies FRANKiE4’s commitment to growth on a global scale.
The new FRANKiE4 store is located at 501 E Pine St. in Seattle. For more information, visit www.us.frankie4.com.
