Hey! I'm Fran
I'm a Perth mum of two girls, Maddy and Sophie, and together with my husband Tim, they inspired me to start this business nearly 10 years ago. Looking back, it has been an incredible journey!
It all started with a simple request on the way to school one morning. The girls asked for an orange hair bow to match their school uniform. What I didn't expect was how difficult it would be to find one in the right colour that was also made to last. So, I thought, I'll make it myself!
What began as a little project for my girls soon became a hobby, creating bows for other school mums. Before long, schools and sporting clubs started reaching out, and that small hobby grew into a thriving Australian business. Today, we're proud to supply thousands of customers, retail stores and schools across Australia — something that still feels a little surreal!
We've now grown into a team of 14 incredible women across our Perth and Sydney offices, with exciting plans for the future. We continue to specialise in designing high-quality hair accessories for schools, sporting clubs, dance, special occasions and custom-made requests helping our customers find the perfect accessory for every occasion.
At Mad About Bows, our mission is simple — to create beautiful, high-quality hair accessories that are made to last and bring confidence to every school day, game day, dance performance and special occasion.
