@SoAnesu: I’m newly subscribed to your channel! I love your educational touch to luxury, just love it! 😊 thanks for the thorough work you do for the public.
Oh my what a GORGEOUS HANDBAG! I first heard of this brand on a So Anesu video, thanks for referring her for the history she did an amazing job. This is the top of my wish list. I am about to retire so I am going to have to limit my lux purchases. I would love for the Diane to be my last big purchase. It truly is my dream handbag!! Perhaps a retirement gift from my hubby....LOL he really does not get it! Thank you again for sharing your experience. BTW, you are so beautiful in this video.
Thanks Deanna!! I’m in love with this bag - it’s so unique and special. It would be a fabulous last big purchase for your retirement!!! (Ps - my husband doesn’t get it either lol 😂 )
Congratulations on the Diane! Can you share about the hardware of it? How do you find it, comparing with what you know from LV’s higher end hardwares like the twist or capucines? Does it feel substantial, luxurious, expensive to the touch & use or way better? 🥰♥️😊 It’s really difficult to find reviews or closeups of the hardware of the Diane. I have a SLG from Joseph Duclos and I didn’t think that the hardware is on par with Hermes or LV high end hardware but that might be because the SLG is such a small item. I love the leather though. Thanks so much Lula! ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you so much! 🥰 I do think the hardware is very high quality and substantial, I would put it on par with my LV Dauphine. As I mentioned at the end, the Diane fell on my driveway and the clasp took a direct hit. The hardware survived with only minor scratches which I thought was excellent considering how hard it hit the ground. Once I have the bag back from the atelier I will be sure to film a hardware comparison. Thank you so much for watching! ❤️🥰
@@LulaWestLuxe thank you 🙏🏼 I’m so glad that they are going to help you with the bag’s repair. It will all be good in the end when you get back your bag. Love it so much, such an awesome choice! It’s very beautiful. I’m glad to hear about the hardware quality on par with Dauphine. ♥️♥️♥️👌🏼
It’s a beautiful bag and it is great to hear about solid customer service!! Life happens right… so I’m glad you feel relieved to know they will be able to assist. It sound like they will fix any imperfections for you ❤
Thank you! 🥰 I’m so happy that Joseph Duclos stands behind their products and will make things right for their customers! Unfortunately, that’s not a given with all luxury brands these days.
I think the ornament is a ceramic scent sachet and the fragrances might work well used with the ornament? Diptyque sells similar scent ceramics. Just a thought for using the fragrances!
Thank you! 🥰 The hardware is so unique - it really sold me on the bag. I didn’t mention the leather in this video, but it’s from Haas Tannery (the same supplier as Hermes) and extremely similar to H’s barenia. I think you would love it!
I have only ever seen these bags in ads. I can’t believe that I’ve seen one now on your channel. It is so beautiful, congratulations. What a bugger about having send it back. Hope it turns out well, Lula❤
Thanks Dani!! 🥰❤️ I had never seen one in person yet, either! I was nervous to say the least! 😅 Can’t wait to get it back and share more pics and videos. JD is definitely a brand worth looking into! ❤️
Thank you so much for this video. I really want to get the Diane L26. However, living in the US and not being able to see it at all in person, I am nervous about the purchase. I am so happy to hear about your positive experience and how their CS has been so far. Would love to see an update too.
I can totally relate to that feeling! Especially for such an expensive purchase. I’d recommend doing a virtual appointment to see the bags - they are very low pressure when it comes to sales on the call. If you happen to live near Los Angeles/Beverly Hills they will be hosting a trunk show there around March 7-9. You can contact them for an invite. Good luck!! ❤️
That’s amazing!! Congrats! The L20 size is soo precious. 😍 My bag hasn’t developed any patina yet. I’m planning to finally film the in depth review this week! ❤️
Thank you so much! 🥰 No news yet on the Nano Diane. Last I heard, the release is scheduled for May, so I’m expecting to hear more details about it by/around April.❤️
Gorgeous choice , loved all the extras !! I think for me a large tan Diane bag has to be my ultimate everything forever bag , it goes far beyond a fashion item , it's an investment for life , and a great alternative to a Birkin ❤Can you tell me , do they use real gold on the hardware ?!
Ohh yes! That tan Diane is gorgeous! 🙌 Have you seen the new larger Diane L30? I believe it should be officially announced this week. Unfortunately, like other luxury brands, the hardware is goldtone brass, not real gold. But that said, I do love the weight and quality of the hardware. ❤️
@@LulaWestLuxe I believe MCM were the last people to use real gold on their hardware ! Ooohhh , I didn't know about the new release , I'll be keeping a keen eye out for THAT one 😜 Unfortunately far too many people have bankrupted themselves to get a Birkin or a Chanel flap , but their prestige is now under scrutiny ! I much prefer the unique style , impeccable quality and detailing of Duclos ! I just watched Anesu's fantastic video about their tote bag , so stunning , for a guy or girl ! 🙏❤️❤️
Great video! I'm so glad I found you as I've been looking into this brand. Question - did you have issues with US customs (or needed to provide SS# and/or extra import duty payment)? Thank you for your input in advance and looking forward to an update on the repair situation!
Hi! I did not have to provide my SSN for shipping. When I purchased the bag, taxes and duties were included in the price. When you pay, you will see those individual charges broken down on the bill. I hope this helps! Are you looking at any specific bags in particular? 😊
Yes! You can see the US prices online. Just be aware that the USD prices aren’t set/permanent - they fluctuate based on the EURO>USD currency exchange rate.
Yes, and I am quite happy with it. I know it’s not for everyone, and that’s ok. A lot of other people spend money on things that I would never, and that’s ok too. To each their own.
Awww 🎉😊😍🙏🏾Congratulations Lula she is gorgeous and I hope, when she comes back, you enjoy her for many wonderful years to come. Bravo!
Thank you!! ❤️ I’m so glad to finally add her to my collection! 😍🥰

Love this video ! Very well filmed and also informative ! Liked the fact you mentioned Anesu , she really is the ' Queen of Luxury ' !🙏❤️❤️
Thank you so much! 🤗 Of course I had to mention Anesu! Her videos on Joseph Duclos are so informative and helpful. ❤️

Finally, a Diane bag unboxing!!! 👏 Congratulations, it's such a gorgeous piece 😍
Thanks Jennifer! 🥰 Hopefully I will have the bag back soon and I’ll be able to share more videos about it!

Such a stunning bag and their customer service seems top notch.
Thank you Melissa!! 🥰

Oh my gosh now I am really excited, a sachet??!!!
Oh yess!! You are right! ❤️
Yes was going to say this 👍🏽
It’s a beautiful bag and I love that edgy clasp. It’s unfortunate what happened and I’m sure it’ll get fixed and made right.
Thank you! 🥰 The hardware is so unique - it really sold me on the bag. I didn’t mention the leather in this video, but it’s from Haas Tannery (the same supplier as Hermes) and extremely similar to H’s barenia. I think you would love it!
Ma’am, that bag is stunning!! I’m hoping for a positive outcome for you. Thank you for sharing!!❤
Thank you so much! 🥰 Based on my experience so far, I’m hopeful for a positive outcome!
Beautiful bag! I love the color. I'm almost finished watching all of your videos. I guess I'll see if you got it back yet.
Yes!! I got it back! 😄 I still have to do my full review and update… it’s on my calendar so hopefully within the next couple of weeks I’ll have it up.
I have only ever seen these bags in ads. I can’t believe that I’ve seen one now on your channel. It is so beautiful, congratulations. What a bugger about having send it back. Hope it turns out well, Lula❤

It’s a beautiful bag. I’m sorry that happened but glad they are taking care of you.
Thanks Gene! I’m really bummed but happy that JD will stand behind their product and make it right. ❤️
Love the bag (and the packaging)! 💙
Me too!! I’m a sucker for gorgeous packaging! 😍 thanks for watching!
So pretty. The one with the top handle is similar to the Celine 16 mini. I’m saving for that one. 😊
Thank you! The Celine 16 is so beautiful too! 😍
You’re welcome. Yes, I’m pretty excited. I plan to buy in August as a birthday gift for myself. 😊
In my opinion, The celine only looks similar in photos. When you see them in person… so different feeling

Thanks so much 🙏❤️
So beautiful !
Thank you! 🥰
Love it!!! I just got my L20 Diane this week in same color. I had eyes it for more than 1 year.
How has your bag aged/patina?
That’s amazing!! Congrats! The L20 size is soo precious. 😍 My bag hasn’t developed any patina yet. I’m planning to finally film the in depth review this week! ❤️
You can’t go wrong with a Sir Ramesh Nair designed bag.
Absolutely!! I can’t wait to see what else he has in store for us next at Joseph Duclos! ❤️
Such a stunning bag! ❤️
Yes she is! 😍
Such a beautiful bag!
Thank you!! 🥰
Stunning!
Thank you! 😊
Congratulations on this beauty! 💙
Any info on the Diane nano for LV? Thanks!

@@thebigh9324 here cause of Anesu and Super Dacob. I’m boycotting Chanel + LV.

@@LulaWestLuxe same style as yours but in the natural tan color!
@sna7142 that’s a gorgeous bag!! 😍
Wow never heard of them
They’re still relatively small and unknown but I think that we’ll be hearing a lot more of Joseph Duclos in the future!
There is a U.S. website which lists the prices un $$$
Yes! You can see the US prices online. Just be aware that the USD prices aren’t set/permanent - they fluctuate based on the EURO>USD currency exchange rate.
😂 $6k for a purse??????
Yes, and I am quite happy with it. I know it’s not for everyone, and that’s ok. A lot of other people spend money on things that I would never, and that’s ok too. To each their own.
