Edward, Co-Founder and CEO
On my wishlist: Loewe Stripe Blanket
Why I love it: This blanket reminds me of a Mark Rothko painting. It’s both visually appealing, impossibly chic and a classic home piece. We have a new colourway in sunset tones which is just as captivating. It’s the perfect gift to leave a lasting impression

Constance, Co-Founder and Creative Director
On my wishlist: Ginori 1735 Profumi Luchino Sculpted Candelabra with Scented Candle
Why I love it: I've had this piece of art from Ginori on my wishlist for the best part of a year, as I've always had a soft spot for anything that reminds me of being in Italy.
I studied classics throughout high school and I would daydream about travelling there one day, little did I know that one day I would travel there for work frequently and marry my husband in Florence. I envisage it sitting on our mantle at home serving as a daily reminder to dream big as those dreams may just come true.

Amelia, Head of Brand and Communications
On my wishlist: Olivia von Halle Fifi Pyjama Set
Why I love it: I have a few pieces from Olivia von Halle in my collection now and the quality is just second to none. But I am missing a traditional full length set like this and when this beauty arrived just a few weeks ago, my heart skipped a beat.
As much as I've always admired the Italians for their ability to enjoy the 'dolce far niente', I am naturally an active relaxer and have always found it a challenge to sit down, and switch off!
However, the older I get, the more I've grown to relish those quiet moments at home, thanks in part to adding little wind-down rituals into the everyday, such as lighting a beautiful candle as soon as I get in (no overhead lights allowed!), and sipping a delicious tea from a cherished piece of Ginori porcelain. The idea of slipping into a pure silk set makes the idea of indulging in a little R&R feel even more inviting.

Parisa, Marketing Assistant
On my wishlist: Alaïa High-waisted Shorts
Why I love it: I cannot get over the fit of these denim shorts. They sinch the waist perfectly with a slightly higher rise than your usual high-waisted short while still having room on the thighs.
I envision these shorts as my reliable go-to piece in the summer with ballet flats and a baby tee, and for a spontaneous evening event, I would throw over a simple blazer and step into some kitten heels.
There is just something about Alaïa denim that is incomparable, the dart detailing and weight make them feel imperishable.

Brigit, Head of Buying
On my wishlist: Alaïa Black Le Papa Bag
Why I love it: It’s a great sized bag to carry the essentials in over the summer season. I like the unusual off-kilter shape and multiple internal compartments that its accordion fold design offers. The Vienne laser-cut leather will also pair perfectly with some of my other Alaia accessories.

Madalina, Client Advisor
On my wishlist: Alaïa Sheer Drape Dress
Why I love it: I love the way it flatters my body shape and I absolutely love the colour, a moss green that changes in the light, it will feel like a new dress with every outing.

On my wishlist: The Dadelszen Alessandro Belt
Why I love it: Dadelszen belts are crafted perfectly. I love the feel of the premium leather, and how it is effortlessly classic and versatile as a staple item. That is exactly how a belt should be.

Maggie, Client Advisor
On my wishlist: The Loewe Blurred Scarf
Why I love it: Working at Faradays has been the most fantastic role in my career life. On the other hand, it can be a little “dangerous”. I am surrounded by beauty every day.
Currently, we have some Loewe Scarves new arrivals. I have been eyeing them for so long. I am thinking of getting one of the grey ones or maybe the multi-colour for my Christmas present to have a cosy Christmas night with all my friends while I light up the fire!

Eliot, Stock Controller
On my wishlist: Profumi Luchino Large Candle - Rain Rock Creek
Why I love it: I thoroughly enjoy this scent. Inspired by the rugged and wild Big Sur Coast, this scent has a powerful fresh scent of an isolated forest, full of sweet-smelling woods and a hint of ocean salt.
Once burned, the candle can also double as a small vase, or a trinket box to place on a desk or table.
