I would get the blue, just because it's so special. You can get lovely tan and cognac bags, but that blue with the hardware ir jest heavenly

You guys have absolutely sold me on the blue, and it feels like the right choice, thank you. I just got my order confirmation. Can’t wait to show her off ❤️

Absolutely incredible Congratulations

Hi All,

Would like to seek comments on the Saint Clair mini clutch.

For the past few years, I've been buying preloved (mostly Hermes under the radar bags) since I don't ouch when I scratch my "new to me" bags or when need to rehome them. I am happy to wait for a good deal.

However, when I first saw the SC mini clutch, it is screaming to take me home. I don't expect it will be circulate in the 2nd hand market soon as well as since it doesn't have a store in my country so I can get a tax reduction of approx 15% by buying online, so I am really tempting to get it.

I haven't seen a JD bag in real but I used to own a Rejane and still have a Gabrielle clutch from Moynat so I am sure the quality will be as good.

You girls are really knowledgeable so would like to seek more feedback before I take my card out

i’m also considering this bag, i find it so beautiful!

Came back to adore. Gosh, reminds me of black barenia

Isn’t that essentially what it is?

not really. while both are semi-vegetable tanned leathers, barenia (Novonappa) comes from Tanneries Haas, while Duclos sources its leathers from a tannery in Alsace that exclusively supplies to them.

I bought a (Ramesh design) Moynat tote last week, and ordered a Lectoure bag charm — inspiration to order a JD tote. I’ll post the charm photo after it arrives. My top three bags on my wishlist are JD. The Lectoure horizontal tote, Diane 26, and Fontélie have eclipsed another H bag. I never thought I’d see the day that an H bag isn’t first on my list. JD craftsmanship and quality have me hooked.
I’d like to thank those of you who share photos and JD product experiences.

what was the H bag that got eclipsed, if I may ask?

I also have a JD bag on the top of my list: the Saint-Clair messenger in châtaignier. I'd get that first before any Kelly or that 25 cm Volynka Bolide.

from what I read from the Hermes subforum, lizard holds up pretty well, even for crossbody bags like the Constance

Constance in Lizard skin

Hi, everyone! I'm considering a black lizard Constance 18cm and would like to know the opinion of dear TPFers on this bag. Do you think it will age in good condition? And does anyone know if Hermès still produces it? Thankful very much in advance.

Thank you so much for this, I read though it, I guess is not as delicate as I thought.

Given 2023 is the 100th anniversary of the Bolide, I’d like another Bolide 31 in etain or etoupe.
I reeeeeallly like the Saint-Clair messenger — excellent choice! If JD adds a slightly larger version, it’ll be on my list. I carry too much stuff to make the currently offered size work for me.

Fontélie photos and descriptions are on the JD website.

I very much appreciate Ramesh's vision, but it seems clear that he does not employ a human female to vet his bag designs.

This is lovely but a key note is the word "not" in the description.

Indeed, any human female would have a lot to say about the limitations of that strap! I will likely get the pochette, because I think it’s very cute and the aubergine color is pretty, but that’ll be it for the Fontélie collection.
