I definitely recommend getting one of these before they get insanely overpriced like some other premier brands.Nevermind, I found out that the shipment gets transferred over to Fedex, which I think now owns TNT.
Anyway, my Daily Battle is absolutely gorgeous!!! I got the medium Daily Battle in green and I don't regret this purchase at all. It took about one week to arrive at my doorstep. I know in the start of this thread people have asked about the texture of the canvas. It is hard to describe. It is much more smooth in feel compared to LV coated canvas and the finish is duller. It doesn't feel flimsy, though. I like that the interior is black; only minor "complaint" of the interior is that it is one black empty hole without pockets. However, lots of totes these days have non-existent pockets and I am used to using pouches to organize my belongings. The leather trim is thick and has a nice color to it. I can definitely see that this bag will serve me well for a long time.
I will say that even though I have the medium tote, its actual measurements differ from the official measurements, in my opinion. It is a centimeter or two smaller in terms of the bottom length and depth. The height and top length are about the same as the official measurements. So, just an FYI. It still holds a ton, though.
I have the LV neverfull mm and when I compared this to the medium daily battle, the daily battle is about an inch and a half taller (eyeballing it, not officially measuring) and the bottom is about two inches longer than the neverfull. However, the neverfull is about an inch wider in depth than the daily battle. As far as how much each holds, the medium daily battle holds a little bit more than the neverfull mm, which is perfect because I have always wanted a tote that was in between the neverfull mm and gm! Plus the daily battle straps feel like they have more substance compared to the neverfull straps and that is a HUGE plus in my book. Not sure if the daily battle can hold over 200 lbs like the neverfull, but I don't like to put heavy stuff in my bags, anyway. FWIW, my bag is made in Spain.
My package came with a small shopper bag and two black envelopes (one with a handwritten note from my SA along with a history card and the other with a receipt). The dustbag is white and feels like a pillowcase. I was afraid that my package was damaged because the box came in such poor shape and had the word "customs" in French, but rest assured, the bag was fine.
I'll try and update about customs once I get the bill. I really wish that FLP could distribute to the US, but for now I am happy to carry a bag that only a few have and isn't as ostentatious as LV. This will definitely not be my only FLP purchase.

It is just so much better than I anticipated it would be. I am glad that I went with the medium instead of the small or large. The small would have worked but I already have a couple other bags that are about the same size and the large was just a tad too wide at the top for my liking.
Thank you! I'm going to order one

Oooo please keep us posted on this!!
I tried the pochette parade and the parade last summer. I wound up getting the pochette parade because i dont like hand carry bags. The parade was small- I couldn't fit my wallet and phone in at the same time. You'd have to be a minimalist for it to be an every day bag. its elegant, with a fun, whimsical edge for night.
