The German designer and owner behind PRETTIE LANES - Franziska Schlupski (b. 1989, Eberswalde, Germany) started sewing when she was 11 years old and never stopped creating ever since. During her graduation from international business studies, she moved from Germany to Switzerland. 


After years of business preparation, the self-financed and independent fashion label 'Franziska Schlupski PRETTIE LANES' was launched in 2015 after 15 years of (autodidact) sewing and design experience. 


Franziska Schlupski cares about every aspect of her company herself - from the design to the material sourcing over to the pattern creation, manufacturing and handling of all administrative, financial & marketing processes - slow, ethical fashion from Switzerland.


Till today, she built up an international trading company with clients in more than 46 countries worldwide and a product palette ranging from day wear, hats and accessories to festive attire and evening couture.
