So glad I found this discussion. I was just in Paris (late May, early June) and walked by the FLP store on Rue Cambon - on my way to Chanel. Unfortunately, I did not go in because I was in a different head space.
I could kick myself - nonetheless, I am reviewing the entire string and look forward to trying out this line.
In fact, an acquaintance from NYC had the DB bag and gun pouch when I saw him last October. I had no idea this was FLP.
I do have a Goyard St Louis but am longing to try out another brand that is not so well known.

Eeep! So sorry to hear that, lovethe1urwith.I just received a bill for $184 customs/duties.
What is the breakdown of the duties bill nowadays? Does the bill include the "processing fee" that Customs Border Patrol talks about on their website?
My sister just came back from Paris with my FLP order, had to share.
All of the new batch were bought from the Galeries Lafayette.

All I know is that they charged me 20% of the dollar amount ($887) + an additional $7.
This has gone WAY up recently. Are you in Us? I ordered a DB Zip a couple mos ago and the duties were only $77 on a $880 order...
Thanks to all the contributors. I read through the entire thread during the last 2 days and have placed an inquiry for a DB from the boutique on Rue Cambon. I particularly liked the suggestion of purchasing the bag only to fall under the $800 exemption - and perhaps get other items on a second order. Would need to do the calc and see if it made sense even with the high shipping fees. I am in San Francisco.
I read on an Instagram reseller's pic that the Carry Ons are being phased out...if this is true I am kinda bummed since I like the Carry On (esp. the 20).
That said, I think it depends on what you want to use the bag for. I think the Daily Battle 32 is more versatile than the Carry On 20 because it's much larger. You can use the DB as a purse and tote. The Carry On is small and can only hold so much. You can use it handheld or crossbody, though.
If you don't carry a lot and like the option of handheld and shoulder bag, get the Carry On. If you want to use a bag that can function as a purse and worktote, get the Daily Battle.
I'm discovering this brand through this thread and feel I now need a daily battle tote! But what size and color is the important decision...question: is the yellow trim an option on all the colors or just some and is it still available or was the yellow trim a limited edition choice?
