Thanks so much! I'm following your lead and ordering light gold as well. I'm surprised the boutiques aren't offering a D-ring to hang the tassel off the exterior bullet holder strip. In any case, Etsy D-ring will do the job
I like to follow news about the FLP brand. The buzz in business media has been quiet, but I ran across this article about litigation in the French courts between Goyard and FLP. Courts ruled in favor of Faure le Page in both cases.
1 instance regarding Goyard exercising its influence to force FLP's relocation away from Goyard to an unfavorable space in Osaka Hankyu dept store, the other regarding the canvas logos.

Interesting! The article won't open for me because I don't have the subscription, but basically courts ruled that FLP's logo is not a ripoff of Goyard?
Hi bellebellebelle19! Yes, according to this quote from the article, I believe it refers to the logo. Goyard was ordered to pay, too.
"Meanwhile, in a separate legal decision also dating back to 2015, Paris’ Superior Court rejected G’s claims that FLP practiced unfair competition and trademark infringement and ordered the company to pay Fauré Le Page 20,000 euro. That case centered on the two firms’ logo canvas."
I just found the full legal details (in French, but Google Translate gives a decent english translation): https://www.doctrine.fr/d/TGI/Paris/2015/INPIM20150056

That was a super interesting read. I know nothing about law so it was really dense to me, but from what I read Goyard made a lot of accusations and demands of FLP, and the court dismissed them all. It's interesting to think about originality in fashion and there are lots of threads on it here, and it's even more interesting that the court ruled against Goyard's demands. To me, I think the brands are two different beasts. There's a lot of coated canvas out there in the market, and different brands have their different merits and flaws.
Interesting. If I read that correctly it looks like they tried to sue over specific designs as well. I didn't think the designs look very much alike.
I wonder if Goyard thinks they are taking a lot of sales from them.

Is the size of this smaller D ring in light gold:
1.83cm Inside Diameter Screw On-Screw Back Plated Metal D Buckle, For Handbag Project. Pack of 6 pcs. (DB01-18)

TPF convinced me to purchase a piece from FLP instead of Goyard, so they did lose one sale [emoji6]
