Located at 168 Julu Road in Shanghai, Guangzhou Restaurant is the former residence of Du Yuesheng's fourth aunt in the 1920s, an entire British mansion.
Dining in such a historic building is really atmospheric, with every element displaying the grandeur of the building. Similarly, in Europe and America, there are also many century-old and highly respected niche brands, and Fauré Le Page from France is one of the outstanding ones.
The brand history of Fauré Le Page can be traced back to 1717 during the reign of King Louis XV of France, when the company started as a manufacturer of weapons for the royal family, including Louis XVI's hunting gun and Napoleon's gilded silver military knife. In 1865, Fauré Le Page transformed into a luxury leather goods brand, applying the craftsmanship from the royal workshop to the design of bags and luggage. Unlike other luxury brands, Fauré Le Page's bags are known for their unique and understated style, without relying on celebrity endorsements or aggressive marketing. With their exquisite craftsmanship, the brand has gained a loyal customer base.
After several changes in ownership, the brand was finally reborn in 2009 with a transition from weapons to luxury leather goods, and opened its first boutique on Rue Cambon in Paris in 2012.
Fauré Le Page's iconic scale pattern is said to be inspired by the early weapons manufacturing. The three-dimensional texture is exquisitely crafted and refined over time, representing the essence of the brand.
Their most classic product is the Daily Battle tote bag, which comes in multiple sizes and ranges in price from 1200 to 1660 euros. It is a versatile and durable tote bag that can be used for commuting, childcare, travel, and almost any occasion. As such a low-key brand that follows a lean production model with limited quantities, it is very unlikely to be seen everywhere.
