FRĒDA FORUM
A MARKETPLACE FOR FEMALE FOUNDED GOODS
Each product is unique and story inspiring. Building community and supporting women owned brands was the inspiration behind starting the marketplace. In addition to selling products, we will feature each founder so you can learn about her story. We will continue to add to the Forum by launching new female founders and products as we discover them. Have a recommendation? We’d love to hear from you.
