Ah, the Rejane is an excellent bag! I can recommend in any size (except mini, which is too small for me but very beautiful as well).

My new Mini Rejane!! I am so over the moon when I found this color in this color with ghw
What a gorgeous colour! Enjoy your Réjane in good health!!!
Pinkybelle... Congratulations! What a little beauty. Enjoy and please share modelling pics, if convenient.
I love Box leather and have been wondering lately how Moynat Box leather holds up and what bag styles are available. Have seen pics of the Rejane in black box and it’s beautiful. Have not seen it IRL. Would appreciate any photos and thoughts on it. Thanks in advance [emoji4]
Thank you!! Sure I will definitely share more pics later on. [emoji4]
I also want to mention that the customer service with Moynat is exceptional!! I contacted the flagship store in Paris as there’s no Moynat store in my state. The SA there offered that they can ship the bag from France to US!!! The shipping was so fast that I got it in 2 days via Fedex. It’s Amazing!!! [emoji33]
Beautiful!
How is the zipper? Do you tend to keep it unzipped?
How do you like your Pauline? I’m interested in getting one, too, but I have not seen one in real life.
Enjoy your beautiful bag!
First time out with mini Rejane for St Patrick’s Day [emoji172]☘️
I love how the strap is adjustable/removable. I still have room to make the strap longer or shorter if needed. Very practical convenient purse to use. [emoji4]

Thanks Sourisbrune! Here are my thoughts after using the bag for a couple of days:
1. Zipper is pretty much impossible to zip and unzip unless you are seated and have both hands to fiddle with it - I leave the zipper open all the time.
2. I had additional 4 holes punched into the long strap at the boutique because I wanted to carry the bag on my shoulder instead of crossbody. After 4 extra holes in, the bag reaches up to my hips, I usually prefer my bag to hang slightly higher than the hip so that it doesn’t swing around as much. But I couldn’t punch more holes in because otherwise the excess strap would be hanging out, and it wouldn’t be a good look. The Moynat SA said I could take it to a leather shop to cut the excess strap off but he warned that Moynat does not do reglazing if I did have the strap shortened somewhere else.
3. I don’t like the buckling system of the long strap, I think it looks messy because the excess strap doesn’t “stick”, if you know what I mean. I wish the strap was shorter, but I suppose it’ll be ok if you wear your bags crossbody.
Other than these, I love everything else about the bag. The design is unique and I’ve caught people staring at it! The top handles are comfortable because of the drop, and the leather is just amazing.
Thank you so much for your input! Your comments are excellent.
I have read other owners’ complaints about the zipper. I think it looks good left unzipped.
I’m 5’10”, so I am okay with a long strap, as long as it’s not too long. Moynat does special orders- I don’t know if your SA can order for you, a shorter strap. It’s my understanding some special orders take about four months.
And yes, I totally understand what you mean about how the buckle can look quirky.
I like the thought of having a beautifully designed handheld bag, with a shoulder carry option.
Thank you again for your communication.
I’ll make sure to post pictures when, and if I finally get one. I’m also very interested in the Rèjane. Oh, why do I have expensive taste in handbags?

Yes, it is definitely a beautiful handheld bag with a shoulder carry option! With your height, I’m sure the strap wouldn’t be an issue for you at all.
And I didn’t know that I could special order a strap! Will ask my SA if this can be done. I think this will be the perfect solution to my issues with the strap length. Thanks for the heads up!
Looking forward to see what you get! The Rejane is so beautiful as well, it’s a tough call. Thinking of buying one too from the Paris boutique when I go to Paris in December as a souvenir piece.
