Faguo is a sustainable brand created in 2009 by two young French entrepreneurs, Frédéric Mugnier et Nicolas Rohrof. In China for a student’s exchange, they had the idea to start a new project and to ethically produce it there. The brand sells mainly casual sneakers (a pair of shoes bought = a tree planted), but also accessories.
I was very happy to discover the travel bag line at Playtime Paris. The Bag48 has the perfect volume and shape. I don’t have to look online for my ideal week end bag anymore.
