Shopper's Diary: The French Finishing Touch from Le Repère des Belettes

Le Repère des Belettes—which loosely translates as “Finds from the Girls”—is a collection of everyday objects and accessories made by small workshops in France. Founders Fanny Roux and Karine Peyresaubes label their online shop as “singulier d’objets de décoration.” They often collaborate with makers on exclusive Le Repère des Belettes collections and also offer vintage finds.

Note: The shop ships all over. Fanny advises U.S. customers to send an email in advance of placing a large or bulky order “because we can sometimes optimize delivery costs.” Here’s what’s on our wish list.
