All About Us

I’m Louise, founder of All Things French Store, a small UK-based family business specialising in French vintage homeware, restored antiques, and upcycled design. With occasional help from my husband Martin, we source, restore, and create unique pieces inspired by traditional French craftsmanship.

Our journey began through our love of camping in France, where regular visits to local brocante markets sparked a passion for authentic French vintage. Over time, this passion grew into a way of life. After leaving my teaching career, I now spend the warmer months in France sourcing carefully chosen vintage pieces, which are then restored, upcycled, or sympathetically preserved back in the UK.

Martin, a skilled gas engineer, designs and creates upcycled sinks along with handcrafted copper and brass taps, combining functionality with character. I also design bespoke vintage lighting and lamps, often repurposing unexpected objects into one-of-a-kind statement pieces. Alongside this, I specialise in the restoration and re-tinning of vintage French copper cookware, ensuring these beautiful pans remain both usable and true to their history.

Shopping directly through our website gives you access to our most competitive prices and our full collection of French vintage finds, upcycled home décor, and artisan-made pieces. While we also sell via Etsy and eBay, here on our website is where you’ll find our complete and most up-to-date range.
