At the forefront of Joseph Duclos’ bag collection, the signature design takes its name from the Roman hunting goddess. Besides constructing the bag’s body using Héritage calfskin leather, an elegant metallic band adorns its gusset. While providing extra support and structure, it showcases a calligraphy engraving of a phrase from the Letters Patent 1754.
This September, the Diane bag steps further forward with a limited edition boasting an exclusive deep black PVD metallic band. Moreover, in a first for the brand, the calligraphy dons contrasting red lacquer. Only 10 pieces are available in Joseph Duclos’ exceptional Héritage calfskin leather, plus five more in exotic lizard skin.
A challenge due to the complexity involved in incorporating lacquer onto the curved PVD metallic band, this exclusive all-black Diane with red lacquer is truly a work of art.
