Childhood friends, Franki Turner and Gaya Subramaniam have remained close throughout the years despite living in different countries at one point.

While Turner set up homegrown accessories brand Frankitas and Gaya was a distributor of Malaysian brands – Frankitas’ products included – in Singapore, they soon found themselves taking their friendship to the next level by starting a business together in 2021.
