Fringe & Free
Artist Statement
DFW-based, handmade fiber and floral decor. Fringe & Free understands how intimate home decor is. Inviting a piece to live along side you, in the most intimate of settings, is an honor. Care, thoughtfulness, and a genuine heart for homemaking flow from Nathalie's hands into the pieces made. We hope you can sense that when you have your pieces in your hands at your home.
Fringe & Free is named after the woman in the Synoptic Gospel who was sick and believed if she could only touch the fringe of Christ's robe then she would be healed.
The Artist
Meet Nathalie
Nathalie Lu is the artist behind Fringe & Free. Wife, mother, and maker, she is drawn to the simple and natural aspects of life. Finding overlooked things surrounding us, such as cotton and florals, and giving them the attention needed to illuminate their inerrant created beauty is her joy. Colors, textures, and feelings of nature constantly inspire her.
Hand-knotted at home, with a desire that each one would add warmth, breath, and peace to the spaces they go to.
Texas-born and raised, she lives with her husband, two sons, and German Shepherd in Dallas.
Fantastic product! Incredible macrame artist. You won’t regret supporting this small business. I have absolutely adored my Fringe and Free clutch, and grab for it almost daily. It’s perfect for every season, and so well made. I can’t wait to purchase more things from this amazing shop. -Katrina P.
"Stunning piece. We placed it at center stage of our new vacation rental and it MAKES THE SPACE! Love Fringe and Free. We will continue to buy her creations!" -Jaclyn M.
"I absolutely love the quality and thought that goes into every piece Nathalie makes. I own 3 of her pieces, and they fill my home with so much joy. The symbolism behind her work helps me feel tied to my faith and grounds me when I look at them. Nathalie's work is more than decoration. It's art structured in the Holy Spirit." -Miranda G.
"I love my cord. It is very easy to work with and so soft compared to other cord I have looked at. I look forward to buying more cord from your site soon!" -Alicia A.
"Love our custom wall hanging from Fringe and Free! Nathalie made our custom piece and sent me updates along the way to make sure I was loving it! She is so thoughtful as an artist and a person. Such a joy to have her work in our kids room! It’s perfect!" -Molly N.
"I saved your business card so I could purchase more of your work when I finished painting my townhouse... Your work brings me, my family, and our townhome joy and happiness! Thanks again! Look for my next order soon! " -Jennifer J.
