VOOM



Voom is a four letter word right? Holy is also a four letter word...HOLYSHIT is an eight letter word. There aren't many other words that come to mind when we look at the clothing from Voom by Joy Han. Made in the USA...does that sound even better?

Come by Frank James to check out these and many other fun fashion what and wants.

ITEM OF THE WEEK...MEN

whenever we over hear people say "its the shit" we kind of cringe. BUT when we first saw this LA MERDE (french translation:the shit) coat we did nothing of the sort. fully lined, crazy attention to detail and a flask pocket make this, and every other La Merde coat the perfect addition to any mans closet. $200.00








ITEM OF THE WEEK..WOMEN


sometimes you find something special... really special. here at frank james we define special as ruffles, buttons, belted, gray, 3/4 length sleeves...too much, too soon? not in our book!  plastic island brought out the big guns...and you don't have to dive too far into you pocket book to own it. $164!!

Who is Frank James



frank james is the brother of jesse james. please don't ask why the store is named frank james. we don't like explaining it all in detail. but...it all started with PARIS TEXAS and two people by the name of ty and jen. 


frank james has a location in bellingham wa and portland or. although the stores are quite different, just as much love goes and hair pulling goes into both of them. 


this is alison and victoria. the gruesome twosome met in the apparel merchandise/design/textile program at washington state university. they share a very special bond of craziness, sarcasm and "bringing it" on a daily basis.
