Lovely! Which bag do you end up using more? I love the look of the Veloce. Does it come with a cross-body strap? If so, do you end up using it with the strap? I'm wondering how that size does with the strap.

Hi attaching another photo of DB. Ha ha I really like this bag as its so sturdy and never get out of shape unlike Goyard sainte Louise that I was using a lot previously.

Sorry - back to ur question. Definitely using DB more often. Cos it's spacious and easy to access item. Also it's really comfy to carry.

As for Veloce- I bought it with the intention to use for work purpose - to carry my laptop and doc which I have to carry on daily basis. I use DB for casual occasions.

It's a very structured and slightly heavy I must say. It's doesn't come with shoulder strap. I have to say this is one thing I overlook. I would so much prefer a shoulder strap as u would want to have the option of hands free esp when u go grocery shopping after work.

Another thing u need to know is that it's quite big. I can't rmber the spec. It's long and hence seems to be more for use for those who to put a3 size paper without folding the doc.

Despite the above disappointment (which is my fault cos I should have thought about those before buying), Veloce like DB is a very well made bag. I like structured bag so I love it's design.

If you need a shoulder strap, u might want to consider Express? I posted a pic of that recently asking for feedback. Fr the pic it's looks perfectly for working or studying purposes. It's Abit pricer than Veloce. But it has lot more leather (the flap).

Hope my comments r helpful :)

Thanks! Is this the medium DB and in the empire green? I was leaning towards Paris Blue or Grey but am rethinking after seeing your bag! I was also hoping to get the yellow trim but they are currently sold out and can't tell me when they will have them in stock (in addition to the pouches I wanted and tassles!). I'm hoping they will get a shipment in before the holidays so I can place an order soon -- or perhaps I shouldn't go with the yellow trim after all. So much to decide.

I appreciate your feedback on the Veloce. I love a structured bag as well but find my go-to's to be the ones that are easier and more comfortable to carry and the weight can be a factor - I have found this to be the case with other bags and need something lightweight.

I will be heading to Japan next spring and I heard that there is an FLP store in Osaka. I own a Goyard St Louis PM in white for over a year and I can say it is one of my most used bags. I bought it in Singapore at full price which is about USD300 more than the Paris price. I'm planning to check out FLP in Japan. I don't know when will I be going to Europe so this will be my only chance to get an FLP. I'm looking at the zipped DB. How does it compare to the St Louis PM? Should I get another tote since I already have one?

Thanks for your opinion.

Mine isn't large size. It's equivalent to Goyard GM size. I choose green becos that's my fav colour and also FLP's colours are rather muted. So be it Paris blue grey green and burgundy, they do not appear to be too outrageous

I didn't choose yellow trim as I prefer to a classic tote to be my first piece fr the brand. Also I kinda recalled reading someone commented that tote with yellow trim is made in Italy and while the classic is made in France. I may be wrong....

Tassel makes the tote 'complete'! It adds so much pop to the DB! In addition, u use it to 'latch' the bag so that it's not so open.

I'm sure that this has been addressed before, but I had a quick question. As this will be my first purchase stateside from Faure, how is everything charged? Will I be charged before tax prices and then pay customs later? Thanks!!

Yes, that's how it works. I got my customs bill about a week after I received my order.

Thank you! I just emailed Faure and received a response immediately. I think I may have to pull the trigger and order one for X-Mas! Except now I'm debating do I get the yellow trim or not?! I heard it cracks after a while. Decisions Decisions!

That's great to know, because I was curious about the yellow trim cracking. I saw that some people had said it will crack, so without seeing it I'm at a loss!

It seems everyone's been purchasing their bags from the Paris store, but with the Yen being down, has anyone ordered from the Osaka store? Will the Osaka store even ship? Thanks!!

When I saw the Osaka built out in Sept, the price was quite expensive compared to the Paris price (rough calc in my head was couple hundred dollars). I think the Euro deal is still much, much better given the lower base price. If you live in a state with significantly cheaper tax than the VAT, then it'd be an even better discount :graucho:
