    Totally agree that pre-teens are a huge and missed demographic. I do think that children are always ready to grow up as fast as possible (no matter the generation)...but I can't imagine being exposed to this level of social media/aesthetics as a pre-teen girl... I would be in a hurry to be considered an 'adult' too.
    I think it's so important to make a space for that age-group and not limit their options.

To me, it's one of the most colorfully vivid and vibrant products I've ever owned. There's certainly something so shameless about the ways in which it utilizes colors that you couldn't help but feel awe at. It truly is very nostalgic. I really hope they can market to tweens again.

So as a kid I used to get a lot of the stickers that didn't print correctly or what have you. My sister and I used to love these coloring pages type stickers you were meant to color yourself.

    I'm the adult the business is currently aiming for. Born in 1985, I had the folders, stickers, pencils, trapper keepers, lunch boxes, coloring books- literally everything, growing up. But what I'm realizing is that it was my young mom who really loved Lisa Frank and bought all of that stuff. It makes since bc she was a teen when Lisa Frank was launching. I liked it but I didn't love it, you know? That's how I've felt about these modern collabs.. I'm happy to see it but it isn't anything I want to buy, personally.
    You're right- they should be focusing on the younger market and growing that nostalgia further. Because if I'm the target demo- like many of my friends- I'm not having kids to pass an obsession to in the way it was to me.

    I live in Tucson and have heard many horror stories of Lisa Frank the person. I attended a party once where she was there and was told by the host I absolutely could not acknowledge who she was or mention her work whatsoever to her for fear of how she would react. I understand wanting to keep anonymity, but you can set boundaries without being rude

    I remember my family visiting the US several times when I was a tween and how excited I always was to buy new lisa frank school supplies since they didn't sell the brand in Europe, so I could always feel unique with my over-the-top colorful school stuff.

    I never understood why she can't do adult products and kid's products. I can totally see a little girl (or boy) with a Lisa Frank binder and the teacher being like, "Oh I had one of those when I was a little girl. I even had a matching lunchbox, backpack and pencils. When school is over, I'm going to go to the store and get a new binder to keep the lesson plans in." College and grad school students would be willing to use Lisa Frank school supplies too. I start veterinary school soon and I'm planning on taking my Lisa Frank trapper keepers with me on days when it's just classroom learning.

    I remember loving the coloring books in my own little morbid way. I used to take my markers and draw a rainbow from the bottom of the page up, thinking about how the rainbow takeover was happening and the animals were in misery as they were inanimate lines on paper and couldn't possibly escape the rainbow takeover. This also happened with the black void take over as well.

      It was a huge mood. At the beginning of the school year, you would compare how much Lisa Frank stuff everyone had. You'd put one of the comically large erasers on your pencil, but take it off if you had to erase something (partially to preserve the eraser, partially because the erasers left a huge smudge on the page)

      This was true for my younger sisters but I was an 80s kid so we just had Hello Kitty, Twin Stars, Etc ..all Sanrio or Disney stuff that was harder to get like form mall specialty stores, and trips to Florida/ California maybe depending on which side eif US.
      Lisa Frank was way more easily found and a more vibrant option. The more ubiquitous her style became the more others knocked it off and then it sort of got edgier and goth too with grunge of late 90s...
      My sister's and parents didn't have to go to he mall for the Sanrio store or wait for the book fair at school to get cool items or settle for Hallmark store and get the more grown up versions once stores like Walmart partnered up with Lisa Frank. Before that it was getting similar products it looks from Sticker based stores and magazine orders from companies or go to malls and putting the stickers on your plain stuff like notebooks, lunch boxes and homemade brown paper bag bookcovers.
      The accessibility and boldness was appealing to that generation where as I thought it too gawdy and preferred Hello Kitty and Disney still and they made their comebacks anyhow as Disney realized they should do more with their Princesses. Walmart and Lisa Frank, etc... took hits as the pendulum swing and other stores like Target and online shopping emerged and Hello Kitty and Disney re-emerged. Basically JO JO Siwa was a repackaging of Lisa Frank style stuff by Walmart in my honest opinion and I said so even at the time. Things just go in cycles.

I'm from '94, so I remember having the fabfriends dolls and all the merchandise that came with them, along with some of the other girl characters from the 00s. The colorful animals truly are the staple of this brand but I wish in the lisa frank renaissance that we've been having that they'd release some things with the fab friends too, as those were my favorite (and would totally buy things now lol).
    I truly wish they would also market to tweens! Like, sure, cater to the audience that grew up with you, but also find new customers!

    I grew up in Tucson. When I was little I was showing my trapper keeper to my friend. She wasn’t impressed and it distressed her. She said “Yeah I’ve met her and she’s not nice. She’s mean to my parents and when I’ve met her she made me work too.” We were 8. Her parents were EVS workers at the Lisa Frank Factory..
    Definitely racism as well that was fostered in her workplace.

Doing each cabinet a different colour? A rainbow if you will? Painting in rainbow is not ground breaking.

I had to stare at it for a moment, because it was bringing me back to my childhood. It was all one color: a very specific not-quite-turquoise not-quite-teal blue... but it was SPARKLY!!! OMG! So sparkly! I was immediately sucked back to the 90s à la Ego eating ratatouille.
