TO BE FRANK
Making their global trade debut at Margin in February 2012, ToBeFrank is a brand new range of premium menswear with an emphasis on ethical and transparent manufacturing. The debut collection from ToBeFrank includes jackets, trousers, and shirting, all handmade in London, as well as knitwear handknitted in Yorkshire. This new brand lives up to their name to be honest as every piece comes with a USB detailing the garment’s provenance, from the source of the fabric to details of the machinist sewing the seams.

With the February 2012 edition marking 10 Years of Margin, we’re feeling retrospective +

We’re proud of the launchpad we’ve given to new & young brands over a decade of shows, so we’ll be looking back over the years at just some of the brands that have launched & grown at Margin +
