FREY’s Frederieke van Doorn
FREY’s Frederieke van Doorn
FREY is all about how one dream became a reality for founder Frederieke van Doorn. For almost twenty years, van Doorn’s career was centered on men’s tailoring. Van Doorn “lived and breathed fabric, design, sharp tailoring, production runs, emerging trends, and the industry’s market mechanisms” which inspired her to ultimately create pieces that championed women’s tailoring and offered women quality professional essentials that they could wear again and again.
Van Doorn vowed to play an active role in changing the industry by creating a brand that answers to the needs and wants of women’s tailoring through collections thoughtfully crafted to be versatile, functional, and stylish in design.
Thus, FREY was born.
FREY’s sustainability goals and initiatives
As mentioned on the brand’s website, FREY is all about designing and creating high-quality pieces that will be long-lasting essentials in your closet you can wear time and time again. These are not seasonal products- instead, they are designed to move through the seasons with you and are elevated must-haves you can enjoy and style daily. This is because FREY is all about building quality pieces that will last through every part of life- from home to office to weekend adventures.
FREY is dedicated to making responsible choices in every aspect of business in which the brand is committed to doing more to help establish a more circular fashion industry. For instance, FREY ensures product materials are of the highest quality when it comes to comfort, durability, and sustainability. As mentioned on the brand’s website here, this is because FREY has successfully developed ways to work with the best quality materials while adding minimum pressure on mother nature.
FREY utilizes a combination of repurposed fabric, natural materials, and deadstock to create its stylish garments. The brand’s high-quality fabrics come from the most reputable Italian mills. As well, FREY’s implementation of natural materials is long-lasting yet eco-friendly, in which FREY uses pure wool, cotton, silk, linen, and cashmere options for its lineup, often offering a combination of the materials together.
Finally, FREY ensures a sustainable experience from start to finish as the brand’s packaging incorporates eco-conscious solutions to ensure the smallest carbon footprint possible.
As a result, FREY is aware that sustainable fashion is a long-term and continuous journey in which FREY consistently strives to maintain a conscious effort every day to make better, more informed choices for a brighter future.
Shopping FREY
At FREY, you are encouraged to be fashionable at any age. HOLR was excited for the opportunity to try the brand first-hand to see just how incredible FREY is in real life.
Navigating the brand’s website is super easy and there are numerous options to choose from when it comes to shopping essentials such as dresses, jackets, tops, and bottoms. HOLR went with the Darlington Jacket in Grey as a versatile transition piece to sport all year round. This is a double-breasted jacket in light grey pure wool that features a belt for added structure and shape. It also offers an elegant flair to any look and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.
When HOLR received the package, the jacket was protected and rolled up which kept it from arriving damaged or wrinkled while in transit, which was a bonus!
The jacket itself is absolutely stunning. Upon feeling the product in person, quality and style are what really stand out. The jacket is meticulously tailored and features a luxe look and feel that will instantly elevate any look. This is a piece that will truly take you from day to night and from Fall to Spring thanks to design elements that make it super functional and fashionable.
It feels ultra luxurious when worn and features a belt which is extremely handy when looking to add a bit of shape. It’s the perfect wardrobe essential and a must-have for any time of year.
