It will open its flagship store here in June 2019

You'll be excused if you haven't yet heard of French handbag and accessory maker Fauré Le Page.

The historic brand's beginnings go all the way back to 1717 when it was originally a master gunsmith and firearms manufacturer to royalty, but it was only in 2009 that it began its foray into the world of luxury.

Since then, the brand has gained somewhat of a cult following, with fans making a pilgrimage to the original Parisian store along Rue Cambon to stock up on monogrammed tote bags and small leather goods, many of which sport the signature gun motif that's a nod to their storied past.

The flagship store in Singapore will open its door in June 2019 at Takashimaya Shopping Centre, Ngee Ann City. The first boutique in Southeast Asia—brought in by local retailer F J Benjamin—is also the ninth worldwide.

Inspired by our garden city, the brand's artistic director, Augustin de Buffévent, imagined the Singapore store to be "abundant with lush greenery and florals". It will also be the first boutique to pre-launch a limited edition collection of exotic clutches in alligator and python specially designed for our market.
