In a world of luxury accessories, few brands capture the history, artistry, and modern spirit quite like Fauré Le Page. Once famed for crafting arms for royalty, the centuries-old Parisian house unveils a new kind of weapon—one slung over the shoulder and not carried into battle. Meet the Ladies First bag, the latest evolution of its signature silhouette, now reimagined in an all-leather form. This new collection offers a bold and romantic declaration that’s equally elegant and empowering. It’s a must-have power accessory, proving that strength and style go hand in hand.
Revived in 2009, Fauré Le Page has transformed from a swordsmith to a fashion powerhouse. With its military heritage and current motto, ‘Armed for Seduction’, the brand continues to blur the lines between protective gear and luxury craft. Since opening its Paris flagship in 2012, every stitch nods to the maison’s militaristic past while speaking to the modern woman. Through leather rather than steel, it supplies wearers with pieces that channel both courage and charm—turning combat tools into accessories of seduction. Whether you’re striding through the city or stepping into a candlelit dinner, who says your armour can’t be embroidered?
Crafted from Fauré Le Page’s newly developed armor leather, this richly grained calfskin is of the finest quality. Think ultra-luxe texture and intricate embroidery etched with the brand’s iconic scale pattern. It draws inspiration from the leather cuirasses (body armour) once worn by the bravest warriors, a poetic callback to the maison’s origins. As the house’s first foray into a full-leather ladies’ handbag, this exclusive material revamps the familiar into the formidable. It’s a celebration of the strength women carry today—not on their sleeves, but on their shoulders.
The scale motif, a recurring emblem across its collections, takes on new life and meaning here. A modern interpretation of the historic symbol of defence, it represents both armour and feathers: a twist on the duality of femininity—resilient yet graceful, fierce yet poised. The result? A luxurious bag that radiates sophistication with a whisper of rebellion. The materiality truly sets this collection apart, showing that femininity isn’t fragile but carved in leather. It also reaffirms the brand’s flair for combining impeccable craftsmanship with a contemporary edge.
Every detail has been designed with both aesthetics and purpose in mind. Structurally, the Ladies First bag retains its compact yet impactful shape, perfectly proportioned and durable. From the adjustable shoulder strap that allows for crossbody wear to the central zip closure that secures your essentials, this bag is as functional as it is fashionable—the perfect companion for both day and night. Inside, you’ll find a plush microfibre suede lining that’s soft and supple. Indulgence at its finest, each piece is as much a collector’s item as it is a wearable accessory.
Available in three shades—forest green, powder black, and sand—each colourway speaks to a different mood. Forest green evokes grounded confidence, while sand brings subtle neutrality. For those drawn to shine and metallic glamour, powder black comes in a special variation finished with gold embellishments for an unmistakably opulent touch. Whether worn crossbody through the streets or hand-held with statement poise, the Ladies First bag delivers timeless versatility for today’s contemporary woman navigating her independence with joie de vivre.
The Fauré Le Page Ladies First handbag is now available online and at the Suria KLCC store.
