We were lucky to catch up with Franki Ray recently and have shared our conversation below.

Franki , thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. What did your parents do right and how has that impacted you in your life and career?

Well, our brand is actually named after our dads, Franki & Raymond. So needless to say they certainly impacted our career choice. We both come from entrepreneurial families. Our hustle is genetic! Even though our brand is something we love, it is WORK. So when it’s not all sunshine and rainbows we know that’s not the time to quit. That’s how continue to prevail.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

Lifelong friends Sasha Spivey and Stacey George founded the luxury lifestyle brand Franki Ray as an outlet to unleash their wildest fashion fantasies. Launched straight out of the Heart of Texas, the unisex, couture-inspired collection has since become a favorite of rebel-hearted shoppers everywhere. Making a splash with their Business Bags that colorfully re-imagine the traditional briefcase, as well as statement-making tracksuits for center stage personalities, these biz-savvy besties put their heart and soul into designing pieces that will inspire the world of fashion for decades to come.

Their collection is fueled by the synergistic force of their friendship, Spivey and George arrived on the fashion design scene with style elements that spark wildly wonderful emotions. Every piece, from their popular Zsa Zsa Tracksuit and Head Honcho Business Bag to their Mucha Muchacha Weekender Bag and Treasure Trove Jewelry Clutch, screams “life without limits.” Fans flock to their no-apologies, take-no-prisoners approach to creative couture. And, if their current success is any indicator, this firecracker Franki Ray duo is just getting warmed up.

Franki Ray – Long May You Reign.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

We took a weekend trip to India. Yes, India, not Indiana. Our leather goods are handmade there and we needed to do quality control before going into production of our first full scale order.

We’d love to hear about you met your business partner.

Kindergarten. We got to work right away. Ha, not really but we were instant friends and eventually business partners.
