About Les Keepers

Les Keepers is a brand specialising in textiles, interiors, and objects for interiors created by designer Pablo Di Francesco. With over a decade and a half of experience collaborating with fashion and interior designers and craft makers, we provide beautiful, unique, and colourful creations.

Our brand name, Les Keepers, is more than just a name. It's a reflection of our mission to produce items meant to be 'kept.' This commitment is supported by our extensive knowledge of best practices in production, materials, and sustainability. We ensure that everything we create is of the highest quality, built to last, and has minimal impact on the environment.

About me

I’m a designer with a background in creating artworks for the collections of renowned fashion houses including Etro, Ralph Lauren, Camilla, Calvin Klein, BCBG, Louis Vuitton, Armani, and DVF. Over the years, I’ve also had the privilege of collaborating with many other designers under strict confidentiality agreements. My work has appeared on catwalks around the world, and these experiences have given me a deep understanding of production methods and the inner workings of the fashion industry.

Beyond creating designs, I’m passionate about sustainability. I actively work on providing sustainable alternatives that not only reduce environmental impact but also enhance quality and promote transparency and accountability throughout the production process.

I’ve also had the opportunity to share my knowledge as a guest lecturer at Chelsea College of Art, where I spoke on topics like Culturally Responsible Practices and Sustainability. Being part of an ever-evolving industry has allowed me to offer meaningful insights to students preparing for their own creative paths. In 2024, I was honoured to serve as a judge for a project in collaboration with the Embassy of Mexico in London, United Kingdom—an experience that further connected my creative practice with cultural engagement.

It started with a tablecloth

I created the first tablecloth as a birthday present for a friend. It was during a strange time when the world was amid a global pandemic, and we were all staying home. The tablecloth was more than just a gift—it symbolised my hope that those difficult times would eventually pass and that we'd once again have the opportunity to gather around the dinner table. Sharing a home-cooked meal has always felt like a fundamental part of human connection to me, and by designing tablecloths, I feel like I'm helping set the table for more of those special moments where people come together to celebrate each other's company.

Home Made

The carbon footprint of a product is not limited to its manufacturing. In fact, it's much more complex. One of the main culprits is shipping. Sometimes, the products we purchase have travelled around the world many times before they reach our hands. This makes it virtually impossible to ensure accountability when it comes to making a promise that production is indeed 'Sustainable.'

We have worked for some of the best Fashion and interior designers in the UK, Italy, the US, and Japan. This journey has introduced us to makers. We didn't hesitate to contact them when the first tablecloths began taking shape. We can trust their excellent quality and that it would be easier to adapt materials, colours, and sizes in as little time as possible, making every design adaptable to each project to offer genuinely one-of-a-kind objects to keep.
