I remember looking at Moynat in Paris and thinking they weren't very exceptionally made. When I saw Delvaux in Brussels and in Paris I always thought the quality was great. But maybe I'm just partial to the style of Delvaux.
Let's talk Delvaux!

The difference with Delvaux bags is that they are made by the oldest luxury leather goods company in the world...I have never seen a Moynat bag IRL, but I do not think that their styles go back as far in history as a Delvaux Brillant (1958!) or Tempete (1967) for example. They are beautifully made and, at least for now, quite understated.
I'm a big fan of Delvaux. The Brilliant is my favorite, though I love the cerceau, too, and am liking the Simplissime lately. Wish they were easier to access in the States (pretty much limited to Barneys, whose recent stock has not been impressing me, trips to Europe, and the occasional pop up online). I'm also not happy that they seem to be following the price hike trend rampant everywhere, though at least they seem to still be maintaining their quality for now.
I was in Brüssel last month and I saw a Delvaux shop at a small and dingy shopping center. I went and looked in at the display window. I was literally panting. Their bags are gorgeous and you can spot the high quality a mile away!
They have a shop in Bruges in its city center, and it was there on a trip that I actually first encountered the brand. The bags seemed to glow from the window, lol. My brain went "Unknown prettiness, must see!"
It was also in Bruges that I learned about Le Tanneur, so it was a very educational trip

Actually, I think Moynat was founded in 1849, so it's definitely not a new house! For now, I like how understated and relatively "unknown" it is compared to other brands. I think I've even started seeing the Brillant more often these days on the streets here.
Hi cic
Welcome to tPF
It depends on the size and what leather/skin is used. I was trying to look up one for you on Selfridges but I can't find them, perhaps they no longer stock them now there's a Delvaux in Bond St
An MM was about £2.8K last time I looked, sorry I can't remember with leather than was
