Stylish but without substance

We've used this shop loads. The content is really good, stock changes a lot and it's normally a pleasure to shop there.

We asked the owner about ordering some product that was on display as he was out of stock of it. He promised to check in to it and phone me back. He didn't. We went back in and were promised someone would call us...no one did.

I tracked down the supplier on the internet and they delivered the £80 product without delivery cost overnight.....

inspiring boutique...

This is such a great shop located in the lovely Whitstable. Its a place for British alternative applied arts and contemporary craft; for the handmade and the home-made; for the original, the quirky and the downright eccentric. For books and badges, jewellery and stationery; for textiles and prints, ceramics and lighting. This shop always leaves me feeling inspired and well a little bit poorer too. The fact that it is all about british design and british product makes it a must for any lover of the local!!! A must visit if in the area

It was love at first sight when this shop arrived in my home town. It was to me the thing that Whitstable had been lacking for many years. Frank is inspirational - quite literally, I walk in the door and I feel inspired. Surrounded by all the wonderful hand crafted items adorning crisp white brick walls and white shelves I am in heaven. I always leave thinking 'I am going to go home and I am going to make something today'. Frank is stocked with an array of UK artist's handy work, from John Dilnott to Johnny Hannah. It sells everything a shabby chic lover/design lover could ever dream of. They stock prints, badges, gift wrap, greetings cards, tea towels, ceramics, jewelery, notebooks and much more. You can get bespoke ceramic magnets ordered here, or even bespoke screen prints ordered straight from the artists (the owners know all the artists personally). I love this shop, I love the atmosphere, I love the location and most of all I love the inspiration.
