Anyway, to get back to topic... Guys! They updated the website with new products and this is such a pretty new color! :love: It reminds me of the L20 Lizard @thebaghag has but a more affordable version :biggrin:

If JD releases a light blue version of the L20 (kind of like a bleu frida), I may have to rethink my bag plans :hbeat:

I actually quite like this mustard color! I do wonder why the new colors are not being offered in 26, or maybe they are just adding slowly?

I believe his Moynat contract was allowed to expire (at 10 years) amid a significant change in strategy and executive leadership. Originally he and the Moynat top executive reported to Arnault under the Arnault non-LVMH corporate entity. Now Moynat is under LVMH and there are a bunch of suits layered in there, and they still don't have a CD after Knightly was fired.

My impression at the time based on Ramesh's limited statements is that he had been pressured to reduce quality and change design direction. Now he's living his best life without all of the suit interference.

@Mousy knows more I think (and has a better memory!).

Also I may be missing the full context of your "weird vibe" observation because I ignore the consistently negative user.
I can’t say anything about what transpired during Ramesh’s MOYNAT departure.:angel: All I will add to this fascinating dialogue is that I am happy he’s with JD!

I applaud JD/Ramesh’s decision not to have a firehose of styles coming out every week, and that Ramesh, through JD, gives the artisans time to perfect their craftsmanship by limiting the designs. I believe, if given the opportunity, JD bags will prove their longstanding and classic value.

To my tPF friends — You make me smile!:hugs:
