Default square picture frames with matteboard = hen's teeth?

Ive got a couple of prints that I picked up in Vietnam for my mum, they are just over 15cm x 15cm and she was complaining that she couldnt find any frames to fit them. I said I would look around for her.

But basically, it seems that square picture frames are pretty damn hard to find, especially with a matteboard.

I dont want to get them custom made if possible.

Anyone have any advice on what department stores might stock them?

Or cheapish online stores.... Ive done a quick Google but wanted to see if anyone had any recommendations first.

Ive bought my frames for the PixelPerefct prints from these guys before.
Even with Freight from QLD to SA they were very price competitive

Site works well in IE but had problems with Firefox

Standard photo frames are usually made to standard print sizes. I would suggest that the 15cm x 15cm print's you've got are going to need a custom frame.

Not sure if they are around your way, but Dean's Art can frame just about anything.

Adelaide price from Ikea, they'd likely be available locally too.

thanks guys... they are actually original watercolours hence the non standard size.

Ive got a few of those ikea frames in larger rectangular format and they are quite nice... will have a look next time Im in brissie.. checking out frameshop as well thanks.
