Thursday was a huge shopping day in Greenbelt. The mall was buzzing with lines snaking two floors down either for the latest iPhone drop at midnight or the newest bag charm.
At Fauré Le Page, fans didn't even wait to be served a flute of bubbly. Regulars of the royal gunsmith-turned-luxury leather goods brand came in hours before the 5 p.m. invite, Gangsta cardholders blazing, asking for first dibs on the French Garden pieces. Its limited edition Daily Battle iteration in 27 Zip, a favorite size among Filipinas for being "just right" for stuffing all essentials, only had one piece left. The hand carry-sized Dream Bag 55 looks like it's next to sold out.
Hype is the opposite of what the brand stands for. Famous owners of FLP include Louis XV, Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette, Napoleon, Balzac. Today, it's toted by an IYKYK set if you know all about its badass take on the gun holster or its handcrafted scale-inspired canvases and jacquards from a trip to its Rue Cambon store in Paris, you know.
