Is anyone here attending the event at the end of September? I got an email inviting me and then inviting me to make a virtual appointment to see the 'special" releases. Is anyone else doing a virutal?
I would love to see the "special" releases. Any advice on how to get invited to that? (I feel like I am asking for the name of an SA on an H thread, which I would never do...LOL) I will be there end of year and am planning on purchasing a bag, so would love to see anything new.

The unveiling is the 27th-28th of this month in Paris. This showing will be primarily the exotics collection - I have no idea if these will be avail to purchase or just a showing of what can be special ordered. I expect to hear back on the invite for an online appointment by Friday. Perhaps send an email expressing interest in seeing what is new? If they are advertising the event through their social or online you could say you heard about it that way.

Thank you for the great advice. I thinks its time I called/emailed them and started my relationship. I'll keep everyone posted!

I told Myriam I could not do the times based on the time difference, I mean it would have been 2am-7am MST, I am either sleeping or waking up in that window.
Myriam offered to send me everything via email once photos have been taken. If we are being honest, I don't have gator or croc $$ to spend on a bag right now, so it is better if I do not waste their zoom time anyway!

I have been looking at everyone’s Duclos and now I want one :P :flowers: Given that one of my most used bags is my TPM evie for dog walking every single day, I am really curious about a pochette - I am going to post the picture directly from their website as apparently that is OK. Does anyone here have this pochette? I just got the new iPhone Pro Max 15 and it looks like it would just fit in this pouch with room for a few cards. If anyone has one and wouldn’t mind speaking up that would be great. I won’t be going to Paris anytime soon I also might reach out to their customer service as everyone speaks so highly of the brand. It truly is beautiful and understated. TIA!

Of course knowing me, if I got this Pochette and loved it I would want a Diane 20!

I have it! And I mostly use it to walk the dog around the block (every day multiple times). I attach the keys to the strap and carry my phone in it. It’s nice to know I don’t have to worry about rain. I also use it a lot around the house when I’m running behind my kids and I don’t have pockets to keep my phone. I don’t usually go out with it (other than walking the dog or a quick errand) because I like to carry more things with me. The leather has a nice patina and it has softened, it doesn’t dig the shoulder because it’s soft buttery leather. It does get a lot of scratches that eventually blend in. I’m very happy with it!

Thanks so much @michumichu!! This is exactly what I was hoping for. I need larger bags as well for other outings, but a sling bag or a small crossbody is perfect for dog walking phone carry. I currently rotate Evelyn tpm’s and two LV men’s sling bags for that, but this little beauty is so classic and under the radar. Bet you look marvelous with this classic little bag! Thanks so much. :flowers:

JD informed me they use the same complex galvanisation technique that’s often used in fine watchmaking. It requires very high level precision, not just coated metal like LV, Dior etc. it’s actually a black chrome.
Is it available for special order? I only see gold and palladium hardware as options for personalization on the Diane.

I was quoted 6 months special order for black hardware and that it was only available on the L20; I wanted it on the L26. If things have changed do let me know!

makes sense as it has only appeared so far on the L20 Diane. I would also want to SO it for an L26.

Is it limited to exotics only or could you pair it with a regular leather like Heritage?
