Joy
We want you to be delighted with every interaction with French Affair. Every time you connect with us or use our products, we want you to smile.
We love knowing our tablecloths will be at the centre of your most joyful moments:
- Rowdy family gatherings and catchups with friends.
- Everyday meals and intimate dinners with those who matter most.
- Special celebrations and the quiet moments alone with a cuppa.
We imagine our beautiful tablecloths will be loved for generations to come.
We also want our team to enjoy working at French Affair. Running the business should be a joyful experience. When we’re happy, we pass those good feelings onto you.
Sustainability
We care about the planet. Limiting our environmental impact is important to us.
Recycling is our superpower. We re-use everything: bubble wrap, plastic bags, packaging, fabric off-cuts and more. Boxes and packing materials are reused or given away through local sustainability groups.
Zero Waste
Many of our products are environmentally friendly. Linen is one of the most sustainable fabrics in the world and our coated tablecloths are surprisingly eco-friendly. We have a zero-waste philosophy and fabric off-cuts are used to create beautiful homewares. Check out our zero waste range.
Going Green
We use green electricity which supports Australian renewables, reduces emissions and contributes to a healthy future. We offset carbon emissions through Greenfleet. They plant bio-diverse native trees to restore native forests and ecosystems which provides crucial habitat for endangered wildlife, counters the devastating impact of the bush fires, and reduces the impacts of climate change.
French Affair is a certified Better Business Partnership business. This local council accreditation recognises our ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability.
Respect
We treat you the way we’d like to be treated. French Affair respects diversity and makes everyone feel welcome. It’s not just people. We treat our products with respect too.
Integrity
You can be sure your dealings with French Affair will be fair, honest and transparent.
