PARIS VLOG PART 4: Quiet Luxury Brands | Moynat, Joseph Duclos, Faure le Page, Moreau Paris

Welcome to my KZbin channel, Luxury and Life in the Middle.
Part 2 of Day 3 in Paris. Let's explore those lesser known French heritage brands that don't get as much press but have outstanding quality. Come with me as I get a personal tour and history of Joseph Duclos, where I meet the Creative Director, Ramesh Nair and the CEO, Franck Dahan. Their bags are incredible and the staff was amazing. I also explore the designs of Faure le Page, Moynat and Moreau Paris.

This was so much fun! Loving the Paris vlogs Lisa and Joseph Duclos was also the highlight in this video for me they seemed so friendly and knowledgeable. It’s nice to see a brand putting this much effort in

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

They were amazing Steph!

[@LesleyAdina]

Love how much time they took inside Joseph Duclos to show you around. Both SAs seemed genuinely passionate about the brand :) And oh my…that so-black Gabrielle at Moynat 😍🤤

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

The so black was pretty cool looking, not going to lie!

[@livingluxwithmeredith]

I love anytime I get to see handbags being made. The art of it is what is most beautiful to me.

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

It was such a great experience!

[@Jiffypop]

Team Duclos! ❤️

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

Yay! Another fan. Just amazing quality and leather!

[@JenniferFabbian]

Awesome video, I especially loved the Joseph Duclos tour! That Diane Lizard bag is a masterpiece 😍

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

Truly stunning in person!

[@AnUrbanGypsy]

The treatment in Joseph Duclos was so nice to see and the SA seemed wonderful. Love the FLP footage too. Their totes would always be a win for me because of the wider, adjustable straps. I thought the 35 would be much bigger than it looked so thanks for the mod shots too. Looking forward to seeing the unboxings.

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

It was such a great experience at Joseph Duclos. And I’ve heard that’s their norm. Wonderful brand.

[@littleluxuries_435]

This was so much fun!!!! I loved all the colors on the Moreau totes.

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

I thought they looked so pretty laid out like that!

[@lindathompson5099]

Love your vacation!

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

Glad you’re enjoying the vlogs!💜

[@captainhml3868]

Oh next time I'm in Paris I will get a Joseph Duclos bag. Unbelievably gorgeous and unique.

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. They are stunning!

[@CB-co2rn]

I love how you caught a glimpse of Ramesh Nair, Joseph Duclos’ Creative Director, inspecting the craftsmanship of a clutch, just before you zoomed in on the artisan saddle stitching and exotic leather bag.

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

I didn’t even notice that. Now I have to go back and rewatch it!

[@Buttercookiesssss]

The tan bag u tried at 6:02 is so beautiful!! 😍 The ones with top handle are great too ❤

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

There are so many beautiful bags from these incredible heritage brands!

[@Buttercookiesssss]

@@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle they are the real understated quiet luxury. Not celine loewe

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

@Buttercookiesssss 💜

[@forever-rosebud]

This was amazing, Lisa, thank you!! What a fabulous experience (for us as well) 🥰

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

Thanks for always being here Kat!

[@plussizedluxury]

Ooooh thanks for sharing! 💙

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

Thanks for watching!💜

[@jaks_bag_attack]

Wow the diane top handle bags are gorgeous

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

The Diane bags are absolutely stunning!

[@maryannbecker9666]

I’m so enjoying this series, so many lovely handbags! How to choose!!

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

That was the question I asked myself each day!!😂

[@ChipChoc00]

Love this and your Parisian music!

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

Glad you’re enjoying the vlogs💜

[@casebycase_904]

This lady knows some of the real 'it' bags❤

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

There are so many amazing brands out there doing incredible work.

[@accountingforluxury]

Oh the FLP footage! After hearing from Meredith and seeing the 35 vs 41 on you I’m so glad I didn’t get the 35 zip but the express 21 in pink is so pretty 😭

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

It was a lovely store and the SA was very helpful. Some very nice bags but not high on my list at the moment.

[@dooneydaze]

Thank you for featuring excellent underappreciated brands! This was very enjoyable.

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

I’m so glad you enjoyed the vlog. There are some beautiful brands out there!

[@LulaWestLuxe]

Wow what an amazing vlog!!! 😍 I especially wanted to see Joseph Duclos because there is so little on the brand and your vlog was an absolute delight to watch! How special that you were even there during an event with Ramesh Nair!! Thanks so much for taking us long with you. ❤

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

It is such an underrated brand. Really hope to add a piece to my collection in the next year!💜

[@forathea9050]

Thank you for this video! Your video is one of the best Joseph Duclos videos I've seen yet! I've been eyeing a Diane bag for a while now and it's just so hard to pull the trigger when I can't get myself to Paris anytime soon. Being able to see the bags through your lens was incredibly helpful!

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

I’m so glad you found it helpful. The bags are absolutely stunning in person. The leather is gorgeous. Very high on my wishlist!

[@angie8232]

I’m enjoying seeing your solo travel vlogs! My son is still little, but when he gets older i fully plan to do solo travel. Love my husband and my son but I enjoy my own company too lol

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

It was a great experience and now that I’ve done it I would definitely do it again. Love that you already have plans to do what’s important to you💜

[@alexks85]

Thank you for showing the Joseph Duclos bags in such detail 😍 I am now more determined than ever to own one!

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

They are gorgeous! I don’t think you’ll be disappointed 💜

[@carlacameron4055]

I want one too.

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

@carlacameron4055 they’re beautiful!

[@tracybarr7308]

I've been watching your channel since the Nordstrum sale. I have enjoyed your Paris Vlog very much. I have to admit, I'm really not into handbags, but it's been so interesting learning more about them.

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

Thanks for sticking around after the N sale! And so glad you’re enjoying the vlogs. Glad you’re here!💜

[@Restless318]

Love everything thank you

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@miradonfbd]

Very cool! Joseph Duclos 💗👍. I do like Faure’ Le Page. I had wanted to see the Daily Battle 19. I think they also have a bag that looks like a speedy 20, did you see that?

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

I don’t think I saw that style. I got footage of pretty much everything they had related to handbags!

[@user-wq1os7kf5r]

I loved your Paris vlogs. I’m going to Paris in May and plan on going to all these stores. I’m really interested in the Diana bag. I love the Heritage leather. I was planning on going to Goyard but seeing the Moreau tote in all the pretty colors I think I’ve changed my mind. I was wondering if the material on the Moreau tote bag is similar to the Goyard Saint Louis tote

[@bagsandlifestyle]

I would love a Joseph Duclos bag one day

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

They are exquisite!

[@Serena_9]

I love Moynat!

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

They do have some beautiful bags!💜

[@nitahoward8503]

The Joseph Duclos handbags, very elegant & high quality. I would love to own one of these bags but I’m afraid they might be too heavy to enjoy carrying all day. Great video thank you for sharing 😊

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

The top handle Diane was a little heavy when I first picked it up but after holding it for a bit it felt fine. They are absolutely gorgeous bags. 💜

[@nitahoward8503]

Thank you, and thanks again for taken us along on your vacation I have learned so much about Paris. 🥰

[@stephaniebecerra7619]

Wow!!!! What a treat to see the handbag construction process at Joseph Duclos. I would definitely consider the Diane messenger bag. Curious how heavy it is? Also, was there special script or writing on the metal that surrounds the bags? I have been wanting another Goyard tote and was thinking about the Artois, but I may consider a Moreau tote instead. Can’t wait to see what you purchased on your trip.

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

Yes the Diane messenger and the classic top handle have the inscription. I would not say it was abnormally heavy. Seemed like a normal weight to me. They were so incredibly kind and helpful at Joseph Duclos. I was obviously there at an ideal time to be able to meet the top people in the company. But that aside, everyone was amazing.

[@classicswithaquirk]

I’ve never had the chance to see Duclos in person, but they’re very attractive bags! How did they feel? Love that she showed you that scratch! I also wasn’t super impressed with Moynat, but with their embossed leather 😢

[@classicswithaquirk]

It’s also so cool how well you were treated at Duclos! Were you tempted into anything?

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

The leather and stitching is amazing. Yes, I was debating between 2 messengers and one with the top handle. And stay tuned…my next vlog is when I got to attend the 24SS presentation for delvaux!

[@classicswithaquirk]

@@luxuryandlifeinthemiddleoh awesome!! Looking forward to it!

[@andreav2175]

Another gem! Someone made a large lux tote with a zipper?! THAT’S where they’re hiding it. Only sold in Paris. 😂 Wow! Dying to visit Joseph Duclos. ❤ I’m nervous about the weight & scratching all that hardware… But they’re SO gorgeous!! 😍

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

You can buy Moreau bags online. Some of the colors I think may be exclusive to in store only. And yes, the Joseph Duclos bags are stunning!! Definitely check them if you get to Paris!💜

[@andreav2175]

@@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle Cool I’ll keep an eye out on Moreau! I’ve never seen the GM with a zipper - but maybe they just sell out.

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

@andreav2175 they have it in store. I tried it on but decided to go with the open version.

[@blace1200]

Moynat flory is my dream bag. Its so sad that you didnt show it😢

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

I’m sorry. I’ll try to check it out when I’m at the Moynat concession at Saks. 💜

[@nadiasansibarra4396]

I loved your video! Question: do you feel like the Moreau at tropez gm is too big for an everyday bag? I was looking at the mm size but sometimes I need to carry bottles and a few diapers for my baby and I’m not sure if mm will be large enough. The GM dimensions sound big but in your picture it looks like a good size.

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

I think the MM would still work for what you’re looking for. The GM is definitely big when I’m just carrying my everyday items. It’s great when I’m doing returns but then after I’m done and I just have my normal stuff it’s pretty big. Hope that helps. 💜

[@nadiasansibarra4396]

So helpful, thank you! ❤️

[@thomascool1335]

I still have really old LV and Moynat trunk from my granpa (or great grandpa) in a good condition. but i will never use them. instead, i gonna use my cheap american tourister luggage

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

Wow! That’s incredible. I hope you at least use them for decor. 💜

[@plussizedluxury]

What did you think of the Moynat tote? That’s on my WL. 💙

[@luxuryandlifeinthemiddle]

It’s nice. I’ve tried it on at Saks before. But I would recommend the Moreau Paris one. But if you really want that center stripe detail, then go for the Moynat
