I'm deciding between a moynat rejane in medium or Hermes Evelyn PM. I've never owned bags from either brand and it's impossible to decide between the two. My style is casual on most days but I like to dress up on occasion. Both bags have crossbody option which is a must. I have Chanel bags that I can use for more formal occasions which is why I'm thinking Evelyn because it's so casual. But rejane looks so refined and can be versatile too. Which would you pick?? How is the lasting quality of moynat?

I own an Evelyne and a medium Gabrielle (not the Rejane but similar). I find the Evelyne very hard to dress up. Only on my most casual days do I reach for my Evelyne. The Rejane may provide you more diversity if you are looking to be able to dress it up also.
 
Does anyone have experience with Gris tourterelle in Epsom? Any issue with oil transfer from hands? I was considering the larger size in GT, but wasn’t sure about color transfer.

Hi Teecee, you meant Moynat’s Epsom which is Veau Carat, right? I have the Gabrielle in GT Veau Carat. Have been usng it as my work purse since I got it in April this year, so far no color transfer and no oil transfer. I wear jeans two to three times a week and I apply lotion on my hands everytime I wash my hands, (knock on wood) so far so good.

Yes, thank you! My only reference was that it was like hermes Epsom leather, but you have the correct terminology. Great to know you haven’t had any issue or color transfer. Thank you!

It is indeed Epsom, and apparently I said that out loud when I held it the first time, and Moynat’ SA concurred that it is Epsom :)

Have you seen the Gabrielle in box? It’s seriously divine [emoji813]️

I have not seen in person. I saw a mini in a picture and it was beautiful, but I fear the mini is just too small for me.

Thanks for this. I am thinking of getting an Evelyne this time because I'm pretty casual most of the time and it's probably an easier bag to use crossbody. I will check out moynat another time.
