Francette originates from 1958 from the French Women's magazine Modes & Travaux. Francette Chaperon Rouge has been designed by Nathalie Lete, a Parisian artist who is inspired by many things including vintage toys and folk art. Francette has brown inset eyes and eyelashes, long brown hair with a fringe, which she wears in plaits tied with white ribbon. She wears a short sleeved white shirt with a peter pan style collar and a red fleece pinafore over the top. The dress is trimmed with ivory ric-rac braid around the neck and hem and has a cream satin bow on the front. Francette's hooded cape is also trimmed with ric rac braid and ties at the neck with a red ribbon. On her feet Francette wears red slip on shoes with a little bow on the front of each.
