These are great.

I have been planning on order two different pieces. I've been using my Berluti wallet and money clip for quite awhile but have been following this brand.

Whomever said they will blow up is right! Likely sooner than later!

How does these brands compare to Tumi, Bally?

I think the reviews on Youtube (by women with handbags) compared Faure Le Page favorably to LV and Goyard in quality and style. All similar.

We own a new Tumi suitcase that we love, but never handled their accessories. And I can't speak to Bally.

I've never owned any LV or Goyard.

Bally is a an amazing brand that has some indirect history with Rolex vis a vis Sir Edmund Hillary ascents in which he purportedly wore Bally shoes and a Rolex. Bally shoes and leather coats I would highly recommend -- thanks for the tip on FLP.

Your wallet and platona are looking great!

Thanks you. I just posted some of my shoes on the shoe thread, and I have owned Bally shoes in the past. They were excellent.

My wife's Battle tote was out of stock but they emailed her in about 10 days to say it was now in stock. Hopefully they will notify you as well.

Are you sure you will get a separate customs fee bill? Every item I have ever ordered had the fee billed right away and it was payable either when the item was delivered or when I picked it up at UPS/FedEx.

If you don't mind me asking, which wallet is out of stock? I want the 6 slot one but in the Steel Gray.

Sorry if I missed it, but the catalog has to be ordered?

There isn't a link anywhere?

The six credit card bifold wallet like the green one in this thread is currently only in stock in red and brown. I like the rich maroon leather but I prefer the Paris Blue. Hopefully it will come in faster than the Daytona-C!

I believe the Paris Blue is the best selling color for wallets and Totes.

I showed one of my friends the photo of the pattern and asked her what she thought about the colors. We discussed the brand, Goyard, etc. She's emailing the boutique about a zipped tote...
This thread has definitely made them some money. They should send you a free dangle.

I am leaning towards the gray since I also like a bag they have and I am worried that the Paris Blue will be a bit much. I got the below image off the internet but they also offer it with a very dark grey leather flap instead of the light gray. Nice bag IMHO because it can be carried on the handle and used as a messenger.

I'm trying to talk my fiancé into this one. The caliber 21 bag. I think it's slick.

What's to talk about. Hand her the gift wrapped box and wait for a response.

Agree, it's cool looking.

Good point. Usually when I do that she ends up returning it for what she actually wants. She's blunt and that's why I'm marrying her

I do think this would make a fun surprise at the start of our honeymoon in a couple weeks. She has confirmed it's cool so maybe I'm in good shape

Want to eyeball my wallet first before moving on to larger items

John is now managing the US Boutique in La Jolla

Good stuff--don't like the customs duty bill, but interesting brand indeed.

I last inquired if they sold a flight carry on duffle bag. Similar to the Louis Vuitton Keepall, but they stated they don't make any as of yet. Only small leather goods, handbags, messenger bags, etc. So I bet within a year or two this company's recognition will expand and have a boutique on Madison avenue like everyone else. We're getting in on the ground floor folks.

It's here and I love it!



Very fun pattern. Exterior feels rugged. Interior feels luxurious. Going to be tough deciding between this and the Goyard I just bought. Either way my LV is taking a back seat for now

I've gotta have the mrs make her mind up if she wants anything so I can put in my order

Post an inside shot too please so can see with cards in it.

Looks nice.

Let us know when customs sends you the bill, I'm curious how that will be handled.

Sweet, can you take some interior pics please? I think I might want this mini one in red now.

PS - your right about the interior feeling luxurious and durable. I filled every CC slot and use it for a full day, still no CC indentation creases within the inside of the wallet. Granted I put my wallet in my front pocket to prevent creasing by sitting on my butt.

Incase anyone wanted to know how to pronounce the company name.

Interior shot for those interested


I have three extra cards tucked behind the right side in the flap opposite the money flap.


Paul: will let you know if and when I get a customs duty in the mail.

I like this a lot--perfect size.

What is that model number/name?

I'd buy but not dealing with customs.

Any other stores besides Paris?

Can you please share the name/model of this?
I'll order while riding out the storm here!

Will it fit in a front pocket?

Thank you!

I'm not sure why you're afraid of a customs bill?
