Long before it became synonymous with chic Parisian leather goods, Fauré Le Page held a very different kind of prestige. Founded in 1717 during the reign of Louis XV, the Maison began as the royal gunsmith to kings and princes, arming European nobility with handcrafted weaponry. Icons like Louis XVI, who wielded hunting tools from the Maison, and Napoleon, who owned a Fauré Le Page vermeil saber, contributed to the brand’s unparalleled heritage.
After remaining in the hands of the founding family for two centuries, the brand changed ownership several times before a significant turn in 2009. Acquired by a passionate French family, the house boldly transitioned from the battlefield to the realm of luxury leather craftsmanship. The brand’s fearless, combative spirit, however, still thrives in the form of leather accessories.
This season, the legacy continues with the debut of the ‘Ladies First Armor’ Collection, featuring the striking ‘Ladies First 24 Armor’ Leather Bag. Inspired by historic cuirasses—the earliest leather armor—this meticulously crafted bag merges the elegance of grained calfskin with the Maison’s iconic embroidered scale motif. Handcrafted in Italy, the bagrepresents the perfect blend of artisanal excellence and contemporary sophistication.
Available in four commanding variations—Black Armor Leather, Forest Armor Leather, Sand Armor Leather, and the standout Black & Gold Metallized Armor Leather—each piece can effortlessly transition from handbag sophistication to crossbody versatility. Retailing from AED 13,440 (with the stunning Black & Gold Metallized edition at AED 14,400), the collection is designed for those who face life boldly.
