The Parisian luxury accessories retailer Faure Le Page will open its first store in South Korea next month.

The Faure Le Page store will be the fashion house’s eighth brick-and-mortar store globally when it opens at Hanwha’s Galleria Department Store in Seoul.

The French company, which specialises in leather bags and other leather goods, dates back to 1717 and already has Asian stores in Japan and Taiwan.  

“Seoul, one of the most dynamic cities in the world, will open a new chapter for our brand,” said Faure Le Page’s creative director Augustin de Buffevent.

“After comparing other competitive fashion companies, we decided to partner with Hanwha Galleria [due to] their best department stores for luxury goods.”
