French Country Collections

The Beginnings

Established in 1987 the French Country brand has become synonymous with 'Beautiful Products for the Home' throughout Australasia. French Country Collections wholesale to  retailers, designers and the corporate trade.

French Country Collections was founded by Sonia Watts with creativity and kiwi ingenuity, combined with an international background of design.  She designed and manufactured decorative products. They included photoframes, lamps and bookends which were all hand finished with various painting techniques, usually around the kitchen table in the evenings!

As French Country Collections moved from manufacturing to importing the Company grew, employed staff and the nights spent working around the kitchen table grew fewer.

Twenty two years later, all family members are still actively involved in the day to day running of French Country Collections.
