My Carry On tote just arrived at my door. I am beyond thrilled with both the bag and this company! I sent my first email inquiry on Thursday, placed my order on Friday and it arrived today. Unbelievable!

I was trying to decide among the Carry On, the Daily Battle and the 35 MM. I generally prefer bags that have both a short hand strap and a long shoulder/crossbow strap, and I really don't carry too much on a daily basis. As it turns out the Carry On is really the perfect size for me. It has almost exactly the same dimensions as a small Longchamp Le Plaige Neo, only the material gives it a bit more structure so it gives the impression of being a bit bigger.

The black interior lining has a bit of a felt-like texture which I actually like. And I really like how there is a larger slip pocket behind the single interior zip pocket.

I was worried about how the canvas would feel and I am pleasantly surprised. The leather is pebbled, which I am really partial to, and the canvas feels substantial. It is not cheap-looking. Stitching is nice and even.

My bag came with the thin shoulder strap (vs the thick one) which is leather on one side and printed canvas on the reverse. It looks like a really solid/sturdy strap.

First impression out of the box - this bag is perfect for me! I am so happy with it. I have to say this is one bag I don't think I would have found without TPF.

I took a few pictures to share. It's really cloudy outside and the only room with decent light was the kids' little home library so apologies in advance. View attachment 2826905View attachment 2826906View attachment 2826907

Congrats on your bag. I just bought a carry-on bag a couple months ago when I was visiting Paris and I love it!! I just placed an order for a larger size wallet this past sat...I was curious if there was an additional customs fee that was charged? I had the wallet shipped this time...
Enjoy your bag! I get stopped all the time when I use mine

I wasn't charged any customs fees today. The package was delivered by FEdEx and left at my door step.

I am glad to know that you've had your Carry On for a couple of months and still love it. I am really looking forward to using mine a lot

I wish they had an online catalog we could peruse - I am sure they have a lot of interesting items! How much did they charge for shipping the wallet, if I may ask? I was thinking of ordering some small items as well but decided to go for just the bag right now since I was ordering sight unseen.

I also found out about the brand through tpf. My husband and I stopped in Paris for three days at the end of our honeymoon in sept...we stayed right around the corner from the flag ship store. Everyone in the store was so nice and friendly. I ended up buying the carry-on in a pop color (pink) and a daily battle in the paris blue with yellow trim. I had gone to the goyard store right before stopping into flp. The people in goyard were so rude...totally turned me off to the brand.
Flp's bags are so much sturdier...I think they are better quality. Especially given the price. I use my daily battle all the time as well! It's the perfect bag . I was actually considering ordering another color.
They charged me 65 euros for shipping just the wallet. They stated it would be 100 euros if I added a daily battle in with that shipment.
I just love that the bag isn't all that common as well.

I asked about the 35MM and based on the measurements they gave me (35 x 20 x 20) it is closest to a speedy 35. I hope this helps!

Thank you...can you give your card information entirely on email when inquiring an order from out of the country? Would it also be better to translate the emails to French to make it easier for them? lol

Really want the card holder and the gun pochette for sure.

I hope someday they could open a US store or consider Barneys as a place to sell their goods in the future.

The lady who attended to me via email corresponded in perfect English so you shouldn't have any problems.

You can email your credit information (which I guess isn't the safest option but it does work) or you can also call and they will take it over the phone. I hope this helps!

Alright...I felt unsure emailer. x.X

Thanks for sharing. I think the Daily Battle is going to be next for me. I used to own a couple of Goyard totes and I have to agree with you. I loved how light they were and enjoyed the pattern but they showed wear so easily. And while I understand how some luxury companies really prefer to be exclusive, I don't understand why that necessitates being rude or difficult.

Just based on customer service alone I would gladly purchase from Faure Le Page again.

These bags look like the perfect bag for me. Can anyone that has had one for a while speak to the quality of it?
Where is the best place to see detailed photos?
TIA

Hi,
I have had a medium Daily Battle in Grey since July. I used it a little bit during the summer, but moved away to NYC for college in August. I have used the bag every single day since the very beginning of September, toting around a laptop, heavy textbooks, notebooks, and just about anything else you can think of.

I have put this bag through A LOT. Between getting pushed around on the subway to carrying it through pouring rain, this bag has been so trusty. Literally, it looks brand-new to this day. The coated canvas holds its shape perfectly--even when I've stuffed it under a seat on the bus, it goes right back to its original shape with no creasing. The pebbled leather has shown no wear, even on the bottom corners where it is most susceptible to damage. I could go on, but I think you get the picture...this bag is meant to be used and loved, and it truly is up for the challenge!

Also, a little unrelated, but I also have one of the pouchettes which I keep inside the bag. I had an unfortunate incident a month ago: my lipstick exploded inside all over the suede lining. I was so nervous! I took everything out, flipped the lining so it was outside, and hand-washed it in the sink. It dried immediately and looks as good as new.

I hope that you decide to get one! I cannot speak highly enough about this brand!

Sadly I had not a chance to visit the store, but saw some girls carrying a Daily Battle down the street. Loved it instantly, for sure I need something FLP on my next Paris visit!
I did purchase a Goyard Voltaire bag

 

[finestbrands]

When I saw this bag, it was love at first sight.😍i felt sudden intense heartbeat. So when I found out that they only sell in Paris, I checked every reseller who has an availble bag on hand! Unfortunately they're all Sold out! So I checked on Instagram #faurelepage, then i found this online reseller for pre orders in Europe! Then BOOM, I Transferred money immediately! Just my luck coz she's living the country the next day! I wanted to share my Flp photos but I don't know how.. im a newbie and not so active in tpf, how do I post the pictures?
