Meet the Team
At Franc Hobart we’ve had quite the influx of newbies, so we thought it would be the perfect time to introduce you to our Hobart retail team! These gals are the frontline and backbone of Francesca; they make all of our lives better with their bubbly personalities and passion for Franc. Oh and did we mention the style envy!? They sure know how put a monochrome outfit together and we in HQ are often trying to drag them in front of the camera to capture their amazing looks! Enough about that though, it’s time to meet the newest members of the Franc Fam and get to know our oldies a little better.
