So I texted Curtis and this is coming to me! So excited! It’s not the Rejane yet, but I’ll work up to it. [emoji28]

Congratulations!
Yes, it’s melon.
Thanks - I thought it might be but pic looked a tad more orange than I remembered. (I was wrong!) Beautiful shade....
Congrats on this! Please report back with modeling pic and how well it holds your stuff? (I am considering this bag too and would appreciate your POV.)
I bought a limousine, but sadly sent it back because I had hoped the shoulder straps would be long enough to comfortably wear on my shoulders, and they weren’t long enough.
The bag is incredible. It looks like a smaller version of a Hermes Victoria II, with the straps sewn low on the sides. My husband and I thought it looked better than the Victoria II. I think it keeps its slightly structured shape better (over time) than the Victoria II.
The interior is beautiful and supple. The bag is well made.
The only things that bothered me for the two days I had it in my home were the strap length- long enough to put on my shoulder if I was willing to smoosh the bag under my arm. I knew I wasn’t keeping it, so when I tried it on my shoulder one strap kept sliding off. If you notice in the short Moynat videos, the actress with the Limo on her shoulder has her hand on the strap to keep in on her shoulder as she walks.
The only other thing is that it has one zipper, unlike the Victoria II, that has two. You can easily leave it partially unzipped for easy access to your items, but because of the curve at the top of the bag, it takes two hands to zip/unzip it completely.
It’s roomy, beautifully made, the leather inside and out is durable, it comes in beautiful colors and it is definitely on my if-I-ever-come-into-some-big-time-shopping-money wishlist.
I hope this helps.
I took a Disney break, where I saw two Birkins, several LV Capuccines and (my daughter and I counted) 27 counterfeit Palm Springs Mini backpacks. It’s time for some Moynat eye candy! New to the NYC boutique-

Hi all! Oh my, I've just discovered Moynat and have fallen in love. What gorgeous leathers and colors!
Would anyone be able to tell me the US prices of the largest size of both the Gabrielle and the Gaby? Thank you!

Am I alone in thinking this print ad is really different (and not in a good way) than the images the company posts on social media? There was another one a few months ago featuring a shiny red croc Rejane which was overlit and also extremely text-y. (DH, who doesn't usually notice these things unless I point them out, saw this and commented that it looked "cheesy".)
Here also are two other bag ads from adjacent pages. It really doesn't "go with" the Moynat brand IMO. Seems like a 1990s Lederer ad.

I think in general they need to up the marketing game! I'm not a fan of even the images and graphic on their IG, although I do think their videos are really nice and interesting.
Yeah - it's confusing IMO, at least in the U.S. The only boutique is in NYC, and they were doing online and had in-store stock at Barney's, but that seems to have ended. (Any West Coast fans? - How are you buying, via phone from NYC?) And don't even get me started about the website!
I see how many boutiques they have opened in Asia and it makes me wonder if the US isn't an afterthought.
I’m from the West Coast and I prefer it that there isn’t a boutique in California yet - there’s one to open at South Coast Plaza soon. I like that I’m saving money on sales tax [emoji6].
I currently buy by phone from NYC. When the one at South Coast opens, I’ll be shopping in person. Their tax is less than where I live so it’ll be cheaper still, but not by much.
