Hey there, I’m Tina!  Fashion is in my blood, homes are in my heart.  If you asked me to choose between these two loves, I would beg you not to.  So I do both. 

I grew up around an aunt who went to dressmakers school in Japan.  Her skillset she was phenomenal…  She made every single article of clothing my mother wore throughout the sixties and seventies, and Mom was the height of fashion.  To this day, these hand-me-down items are my most prized possession.  It’s quality you just won’t find today, unless you pay haute couture prices.

 I’ve  gained over 15 years of experience in interior design between Manhattan and Southern California, from an A-rated Upper East Side firm to a premiere designer showroom in La Jolla.  During this time I saw an industry-wide need for responsibly recycling the vast swaths of textile waste derived from discontinued fabric samples.  Thus was born an eco-conscious, zero-waste, women’s handbag brand.  We’ve been arming women with some serious ‘hand candy’ and combatting environmental damage caused by the ‘fast fashion’ industry since 2012. With the technology of today I am thrilled to connect my two passions and add virtual, web based Interior Design services to my business.  We  emphasize home as sanctuary, niche accessory design, and green living.  

With a deep-rooted drive to not only make the world a prettier place but a better one too, Tina Frantz Designs is a full throttle Design House providing fashions for Body and Soul.
