About Us
Fanny Austin is a small, woman-owned design and manufacturing company located in Ontario, Canada. We put people, the planet and quality first. We take pride in our artisan, handmade roots, our dedication to our customers, as well as social and environmental responsibility.
Influenced by bohemian freedom - with cheerful colours and enchanting patterns, creative exploration and graceful aesthetics - we strive to make our collections both beautiful and relevant to your lifestyle...
... like the colourful feather that you found on that sunny summer day that you kept just for the beauty and inspiration it brings to your life - we hope our products are not only quality items that you'll use well in your life but that will also bring a little spark of beauty and inspiration to your day.
As a company, we believe in social & environmental responsibility. It is the core idea that our brand is built upon. We feel that, as a society, if we can choose where and how to spend our money we can choose to make a difference in our world at the same time. So for every purchase made at Fanny Austin a portion of the proceeds are donated to aid in the protection of endangered animals.
Our name, Fanny Austin, originates from the founders’ family who represent a line of strong, creative, passionate women. These women have struggled through the very thick of both world wars, carrying their family through extreme food rations, watching as their city and houses were bombed and being sent away from family for protection and safety. Two generations ago they came across the ocean by boat daring to start a new life in a country yet unseen, leaving friends, family and life as they new it behind. Their new lives were hopeful and their new country expounded a beautiful nature that they explored and endeavoured to express through painting and creativity. They continued to work hard, achieve higher education and volunteer, providing an example of strong, passionate, wise, creative women that our company aspires to be and reach out to.
