I'm also curious, does the new version mean that the older Saint Clair messenger style is being discontinued?
And @Mousy, I'd be interested too when all the new pieces will be available for purchase (either online or by emailing them).
Thank you in advance.

1. JD mistakenly messaged me that the new Saint-Clair comes in two sizes. What they meant to write is two colors. The price of the bag is 5300€.I'm also curious, does the new version mean that the older Saint Clair messenger style is being discontinued?

2. The Saint-Clair messenger is in their permanent collection. It’s not going anywhere.
3. The new bags are available for preorder now. E-Mail or IG message JD for inquiries and preorder purchases. Beginning mid-March, they will start trickling onto the website and will be available for e-Commerce purchase.
I hope this helps.

For the last month I’ve been waiting for the best time to choose a Diane bag for myself and decided to patiently wait for the new colors to be announced before making a decision. Went to their site today and without warning, there has been a huge price increase?! An L20 was previously showing up on the US site as the conversion between the posted euros and the US dollar. But today the L20 that is posted for 6200 euros is showing up as 7500 USD which is a change. What gives?
Oh no, I am sorry you missed the info about the price increase!! It was a few pages back.
All I can add is the quality is superior to so many of the other designers' bags, which have also had price increases. I have 2 JD bags headed my way, I will be posting pics after each is delivered.
I had seen something about price increases, but not >1000 USD that I had recalled. I think what is weird is that there is now a discrepancy between the amount in euros and dollars which I hadn’t noticed previously.
All in all, I guess it takes some mental load off. I had been pondering so much which color and style, and now I don’t have because I’m not paying $7500 for a 20cm bag… even if it is high quality.
Oh no, I feel your frustration. It’s worth reaching out to their customer service to check if they can honor the pre-increase price. I had a similar experience when purchasing my second Diane - was waiting on a detailed explanation between Heritage and Harmonie leather and a price increase occurred in the midst of my purchase. Luckily they were understanding and I was able to purchase at the old price.
On another note, the L16 pricing makes a little more sense now. Unless they increased that too..
I was curious about the increase, so a year ago March 2023 my L26 was 5500EU, loosely converts to $5900usd today.
March 2024 the same Noir heritage L26 is listing at $7500 USD.
Of note, the price in USD for my new Diane L30 in noir heritage was $7597 after exchange conversion (6900 eu)

After taking the price increases into consideration, the L15 pricing makes sense. Now I can’t stop thinking about adding one to my collection. 
I don’t have any complaints about my L20s but I find the size a little big for me lol. I think the L15 would get a ton of use from me.
Also I was informed that all the jewelry/hardware, excluding the brace around the base/sides, is identical to the L20 version.

It is a cute mini bag. The LV trunk in your profile pic is one of my faves, I tried it on at Aspen LV and sadly for me, too small.After taking the price increases into consideration, the L15 pricing makes sense. Now I can’t stop thinking about adding one to my collection.

I was against the L20 for myself until I wore my L26 "out" one evening, then I realized that was too big for evening...so I did buy a L20 during "press days".
Yikes!
I calculated the final costs for a Diane L26, including tax and duties, and it is $9,500! I love the bag, but unless I win Powerball — I’m out.
Champagne problems, eh?!
I live such a small life now. I wouldn’t get use value for dollar out of it. Oh, well. Please keep sharing photos! I’m living vicariously through you all!!!

I’m not saying $7500 isn’t a lot for a bag, because it is; however, I did not have to pay any additional taxes and duties for my JD bags.
