So, I always order things in pairs (mental disorder, don't ask)...here's the olive regular Swann size came yesterday). The leather is VERY good. I wouldn't say "Hermes good" but up there, from a quality tannery. I love that these are handmade, and gold plated. They are EXTREMELY LIGHTWEIGHT. Really, just beautiful. The colors they have in the smaller sizes might entice me to get more for quick errands/ evenings. The price points are pretty unbelievable, and if they charged 3x this, I don't think I would have blinked b/c of the quality of them. Anyway, I wish them very well as a brand. What they are doing is apropos for maybe going under the radar/ stealth during times right now where overt luxury consumption maybe isn't necessarily safe or thoughtful.

Just wanted to say a big thanks for sharing your thoughts and the great pictures! I’m so tempted to get so many of the colours I’m seriously struggling to choose!

I love that it looks like such good quality for its price point. I hope that they age well! Do the corners look ok? I’m thinking that’s the part that will get the most wear over time given the design.

I don't think so. I think they will wear just fine. The leather is hardy but supple. Been talking to them on IG a little bit, they are from same tannery as Hermes but not the same tier leather of that same tannery. They started out with neutrals and will hopefully, eventually start getting into brighter richer seasonal colors.

Sounds really promising! Thanks so much for sharing :tup:

Ooh, I’m excited by the prospect of brighter richer seasonal colours! Also I wonder if they will come up with some more designs? It really feels like Fleuron is a brand to follow now, to see how they develop. I hope they do well!

I agree! It will be fun to watch them grow. The few designs they do have are solid, and unique. They are testing the brighter colors in the mini Swann first, apparently!

Been using my regular sized Swann for a few days now and REALLY love it. The leather is so beautiful actually, it's kind of fun to touch it and play with it. The design is pretty genius, with the top handle below the flaps of the bag, as well as the attachment of the shoulder strap. You can fasten the little wings back up after attaching the should strap, and they stick. The result is an open top bag without feeling too open. I've ordered more colors, duh :biggrin:

Thanks for sharing feedback & pictures. The olive is gorgeous. I’m tempted by their taupe, dark blue & the coming lilac. Will definitely order one soon.
