There's no amount of money that can buy such a wallet, it's priceless.

I ordered the burgundy on Tuesday but wasn’t processed until yesterday afternoon as they gave me the wrong price. Despatched from Paris at 5pm and arrived this afternoon at 4pm so less than a day. Quality is stunning.

Looks nice, do these hold up well to everyday use?

What’s the price point?

Here is a small article on my recent everyday wallet.

Flat Head Wild Child, cordovan and cow hide leather outer, pigskin lined inner. Silver ring and sewn together with tendon stitching.

A truly magnificent handmade wallet built to last and age wonderfully, highly recommend.

A year and eight months and still going strong! Some cracking on the piping at the fold but I beat this thing to hell. Best $265 I've spent in a while!

They have a new style bifold where the front has a gun holster pattern. Looks awesome! I got lucky and snagged the last blue one. :)

Sorry, but where is the men's catalog for FLP? Their page only has links to their social medial accounts, and I am keen to get one. Thanks!

New Luxury Wallet

I've now got a collection including Goyard, FLP, Coach, and LV. Strangely the one I'm liking the best is the Parabellum from out in LA made from Bison hide. I love the texture of the leather and the nicely lined billfold. Here are a few shots.

To get the "catalog" you need to email them and discuss what you want. They'll send you photos of their collection. They won't respond over the weekend. It was pretty easy to work with them.

The do not have an online catalog nor do they do e-commerce. If your looking for a wallet for instance they will email you pics of what’s available and you choose from that. I bought mine from the Gallerie store and they overnighted the item from France. They were so easy to deal with and the item is of such quality that I think I’ll buy another piece

How do they compare price and quality wise?

The LV was $350 and the Fauré was $250. It’s a little hard to compare quality as one is leather and one is canvas. The LV is very well made and the leather is soft but not to soft. It’s quality for sure. It is also about $200 less then the Hermès I looked at and to me it’s equal in the quality department. The Fauré is a neat feeling canvas and seems like it will be very durable. I really like the feel of it. The stitching is uniform and it’s a little smaller then the LV. I wouldn’t say it’s a bargain, being it’s still $250 but of the high end pieces I have dealt with I think the Fauré is worth it’s asking price compared to some others. The LV is quality, no doubt, but your paying about double due to the name
