Hello all! I've been a quiet fan of FLP for awhile. After checking back to this thread over and over again and seeing recently how strong the dollar has been against the Euro, I finally pulled the trigger and ordered a Daily Battle 41 in grey and a metallic grey tassel by contacting sales associate Nada at the boutique. The whole experience including correspondence (plenty of questions) and payment with her was so easy. I'm super excited for both items to arrive soon (hopefully later this week).
Many thanks to everyone who posted information all the way back to the beginning of the thread about their purchases and experiences! It was super helpful!

@arkiemark, please do inform when your bag has arrived and if there's any duty to pay when the good entering USA.
Thanks
Thanks
I am going to order the DB bag but can't make up my mind between the Paris blue and Gris Acier! I only get to see the colors from their FB, any recommendations for those who had see them physically ?? Please help 
I can answer this WonderingPhase as my DB was delivered in March. I live in New York and the 95 covered shipping, handling and duties I guess to NY. TNT, the delivery company also charged extra fees that differ to which state it delivered to for tax and duty
They'll give you any info you need if you email them. I included a link below.

Oh good to know! I'm expecting delivery on Tuesday and will post pics as well as delivery timeline. Not looking forward to the duties or sales tax though!
For the mini I'm not sure but for carry on classic I post the sizing

Lots of happy smiles!!! I finally received the Daily Battle 41 in Grey on Monday (one day early)!
Since it's my first Faure Le Page bag, I figured why not take some pics and share some impressions...
So I will say that Nada at the boutique was super helpful and the package was sent out very quickly. Based on what I reading in the forum posts, I expected it in about 4-5 days, but it was actually a bit longer (about 7 counting the weekend). Not sure why it took a bit longer, but the bag certainly made the wait worth it.
The bag came without an FLP box but it did come with a huge dust bag. I also ordered a separate the tassel in metallic silver and it also came with its own dust bag. Add to that a couple of envelopes of receipts and a little item from Nada who included a hand written note which added a wonderful personal touch to the transaction.
I've had the bag for about just over a day and first impressions and comparisons to my LV's (easy point of comparison since a lot more people have them) are:
-The canvas is very different from Vuitton. LV canvas (especially the Monogram Print) has irregular textured bumps and feels more supple in comparison. The FLP canvas feels almost like coated burlap (not in a bad way either) and slightly more rigid (although still quite flexible especially for a tote). My suspicion is that the canvas will hold up just as well as LV. The canvas is backed with fabric on the interior. In my case, I chose the black leather with grey scales and the interior came in black fabric. Not sure if this is standard or changes with the exterior color.
-Color wise, I decided on the grey since it's the most neutral of the colors offered. For a guy, especially carrying a tote (not that common in Chicago), I didn't want it to stand out too much. The grey is very subdued and somewhat dark but contrasts well with the yellow accents and lettering. I'd compare it to LV Damier Graphite in terms of tone. Nada gave me two choices of leather trim- black or grey and I'm glad I went with black since it's a nice contrast with the grey canvas and a bit more masculine. Overall the grey and black combo is exactly what I wanted, but perhaps in the future I'll pick up some small accessories in the blue or green to add a pop of color.
-The stitching and leather are absolutely perfect. No errant strays or missing or loose threads. The leather has more texture than LV vachetta, and feels thicker as well. While the exterior side of the handles have the same texture as the rest of the leather on the bag, the leather on the underside of the handles is completely smooth.
-The three pieces of hardware on the bag are beautiful. They basically consists of a single interior D-ring (long enough to loop over the top of the bag), and two buckles stamped with "Faure Le Page" on the sides for the adjustable handles. I'm not sure if FLP changes the finish of the hardware depending on the color of the canvas, but with the grey and black combo, the hardware came in a warm silver (almost like polished nickel) and again comparable in quality to LV.
-The separate accessory tassel very cool and is quite large measuring about 5.5" tall from the top of the hardware clip to the bottom of the leather. It's a beautiful piece and I'm glad I ordered it in the metallic grey rather than the plain grey. It has a certain pop and shimmer that adds a little eye candy to an otherwise subdued bag. I didn't realize it, but underneath it has a key chain ring, which adds a surprising bit of functionality to what I thought was merely bag decoration! I'm not sure I would store my keys in there, but nice to know I could just in case.
-Size wise, I'd say it's quite comparable to an LV Neverfull GM (this Daily Battle is the largest model- 41cm), big enough for all the daily essentials and then some. One thing that I wish it had would be some sort of clasping or closing mechanism in the middle. Because it's such a big bag, it tends to hang open when the handles fall outward. I know the smaller totes have zippers, so maybe in the future FLP can add something like that to the 41 size.
Since I received the bag only yesterday, I'm hoping to not get the accompanying sales tax charges from TNT/FedEx who delivered the bag. Fingers crossed. As far as price, with the dollar so strong against the Euro, the final amount came to:
Daily Battle 41: 575.00EU (with 20% VAT discount)
Tassle: 79.17EU (with 20% VAT discount)
Shipping: 100.00EU
TOTAL: 754.00EU or $831.69 (TERRIFIC PRICE!!!)
So in conclusion, I'm super excited to continue using the bag and seeing how it will break in. I'm expecting the canvas to get softer as well as the leather, and hope to have it a long time for plenty more years of use. Based on the first experiences, I'm quite impressed with the service and quality of the brand. Also, since Faure Le Page is so uncommon here in the States, carrying it around feels like I'm in a special club of FLP aficionados on the lookout for anyone else who's "in the know"! Will I get more? Absolutely. The question is when and what!
