Pride by Francis Pants

Pride by Francis Pants is a queer- and Native-descendant-owned small business based in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Since 2020, I've been creating affordable, handmade items that help people express who they are without breaking the bank. What started with handmade rainbow loom pride jellyfish has grown into a colorful collection of 3D-printed creations, laser-crafted gifts, resin art, jewelry, stickers, bookmarks, magnets, keychains, tumblers, and more. I've been vending at markets, conventions, Pride events, and community festivals for several years, and I love meeting customers face-to-face. Every event gives me the opportunity to connect with people, hear their stories, and create a welcoming space where everyone feels seen. What makes my products special is that they're designed with inclusivity and joy in mind. Many of my designs celebrate LGBTQIA2S+ identities, disability pride, mental health awareness, reading, gaming, Dungeons & Dragons, pop culture, and other fandoms. I create unique, colorful items that you won't typically find in big-box stores, and I strive to keep my prices affordable so everyone can find something they love. At Pride by Francis Pants, my goal is simple: help people express themselves, celebrate who they are, and leave with something that makes them smile.
