Fauré Le Page's New Flagship Collection

Fauré Le Page's New Flagship Collection

An exclusive first look at the numbered Scale Canvas collection marking the opening of Fauré Le Page's flagship at 352 Rue Saint-Honoré, plus the heritage bags that built the house.

A New Address, A New Collection

Fauré Le Page has opened a new flagship at 352 Rue Saint-Honoré, and the Paris house is marking it with a collection you can shop before anyone else. Called From Paris With Love, it is a limited and numbered run built on the Scale Canvas, the house's signature print, worked here in the red and blue of the city's own coat of arms.

There are four pieces in the drop: a Tassel Key Holder with tricolor leather fringe, the Pochette 29 with an Eiffel Tower zip pull, the Faurever 21 mini bag with its sculpted scale flap, and the Daily Battle 35 tote. Every piece is individually numbered and hot stamped inside, so no two customers end up with quite the same bag. Prices run from $390 for the key holder to $3,550 for the Faurever. Because the run is numbered, pieces will not be restocked once they sell out.

This reads less like a product launch than a love letter to the city: a helmet clasp shaped like a knight's visor, a zip pull shaped like the Eiffel Tower, fringe in the colors of the Paris flag. Move quickly if a specific piece matters to you.

Two Centuries in the Making

Fauré Le Page's story starts long before Rue Saint-Honoré. The original Maison was founded in the early 18th century as gunsmith to French kings, and the scale motif on its bags today traces straight back to the scales once engraved into sword blades and pistol grips. When the house relaunched as a leather goods Maison in 2009, it kept the symbol and built a full wardrobe of bags around it.

The Faurever bag carries the clearest link to that past: its clasp is shaped like a knight's helmet, and its braided handle is modeled on a sword grip. The Daily Battle and Double Battle totes take their names from the same military vocabulary, built for the version of battle that is really just a long day. The Cartouchière, named for a soldier's cartridge pouch, and the Ladies First bag are cut from the same Scale Canvas, hand screen printed in France using a process close to silk printing.

These are the pieces that built the brand's name before any flagship existed, and they remain the clearest way to understand what makes a Fauré Le Page bag recognizable at a glance.

Our honest take

We think the flagship collection is worth acting on quickly if you want one, precisely because it will not be reordered. The Pochette 29 is the easiest entry point and genuinely useful day to day; the Faurever at $3,550 is a splurge best reserved for someone who already loves the silhouette. If numbered editions do not move you, go straight to the heritage lineup, where the Daily Battle tote and the Faurever bag show the same craftsmanship at a gentler price and in colors that will actually be around next season.

What we would not do is buy either collection for the logo alone. The scale print and the military details only read well once you know a bit of the history behind them, which is really the point of a house that has spent three centuries making things meant to be looked at closely. If you take one thing away, check how a piece is numbered or stamped before you decide it is worth the price.
