Our resident Frenchie has pulled together a pretty swish list of goodies to pester Santa for this Christmas.

Here's what we know: French folk tend to have great taste. It goes without saying then that our resident Frenchie, marketing co-ordinator Irina Rybakov, has pulled together a pretty swish list of goodies to pester Santa for, from chic threads to charming art.

1. I think it's time i graduated from a canvas tote into a real grown-up handbag, and this soft leather bag with its giant beads and tassels would be a nice transition.

2. I can't help but love everything local lady Anna Varendorff creates, and these coral studs would be an excellent addition to my collection.

3. A whole book of pretty drawings by a talented fellow French lady, Marion Fayolle.

4. It would be pretty special to own some of the lovely threads by local label Primoeza, particularly this peach check top, which is nice and breezy for summer.

5. Wouldn't it be lovely to eat French brie off this porcelain platter handmade by another fellow countrywoman?

6. I have an unreasonable love for pencils (and erasers for that matter), so obviously I would very much fancy a pencil drawing by Japanese artist Emi Ueoka. Preferably one with a bicycle in it.

7. Just because this backpack from Julia Gabriel would look very nice hanging on the wall in my hallway.

8. This image reminds me of my former home in Berlin, and clever lady Sandra Eterovic painted it, which is always a bonus.

9. The truth is, I already own a pair of these Alpha60 shoes, but I feel anxious about wearing them out and them being gone forever, so getting a second pair would be a great ease for my mind!

10. I am very much a plant lady, surrounded by green babies at all times. I only want the very best for them, and this handmade planter from Wingnut & Co. would make a rather nice home.

11. I will take the entire Tara Whalley combo, please!
