New member here and new to Moynat. I have my eye on the Limousine, it's so unassuming. I've seen previous comments here on the short handles making it hard to carry on the shoulder without compressing the bag. I put that question to the SA last week, and he explained that that slight compression has been factored into the design. The curve on the top prevents any stress to the leather in that position; if the bag had been more rectangular there would be no room for the leather to expand. I thought that was fascinating.

I have a question about using the Limousine daily - since there is only one zip on the bag and it is positioned quite low, can the Limousine be carried around unzipped? I do love a bag with a zip for extra security but I usually carry totes open-top since it makes reaching for things inside easier. The low position of the zip makes me think I can't do that with the Limo as my things would fall out.

I think the Limousine can be worn unzipped, but I suggest to only unzip it 1/2 way and carry it on your shoulder. Half way unzipped allows your hand to grab what you need (keys or card case), but gives you a little security.
I don’t know how much space you need, but there is also a Limo bb that comes with a strap. That one is more like a slightly larger than average camera bag with handheld handles.
As for the squishiness (for lack of a better term)- Yes, it can be squished to go on the shoulder. The dip in the top (not designed for the underarm, but it works) allows for more room and less stress on the top of the bag, but I was concerned about the sides pooching out over time. I’m a worry wort at times.
It’s a beautiful bag and still on my list, even though I’m a crossbody girl.
I hope this helps.

Thank you Sourisbrune, for the photos and your take on the Limousine! I had my eye on black but seeing all the colours makes me wonder if I should try something different. Yes it's a beautiful bag; I really like the shape and I want it to be one of those bags I use often because it would be such a pleasure to do so, hence the worry about the zip.

I thought it would make a perfect daily bag when I bought it. I had just sold my Victoria II because it was too big and started to collapse. After a few months, I noticed the leather started to soften and I didn’t want a shapeless bag.
I find the front/back of the Limousine appear to hold their structure better than the Victoria. It’s smaller, too. Much more user friendly than its Hermès counterpart.
Moynat colors are incredible! I always question my love of a basic black bag when I see other colors. I want a Gaby and a Limo bb in black, then I’m going for color.
Please keep us up to date on what you do. I’m excited for you, and I hope you post a photo, if you get one.

Log on later today- I’m going to post how colorful their bags have been over the years.

I haven't had much experience with leather (my favourite bag is a Goyard) but I've heard of leather bags losing their shape and as someone who really likes their bags structured it's a bit scary, haha. Hope to drop by a Moynat in Singapore soon and will definitely post pictures when I get it!

I was introduced to this brand byba former girlfriend her actually sold every purse she owned feom other brands because she liked Moynat so much and that's all she would now carry. We went to Madison Ave store where I saw brilliantly designed products,executed in the finest of leathers. And the fact that Bernard Arnault rescued this great branddfeom obscurity and is owned by him personally is such A great story. Hopefully it won't be added to LVMH portfolio. I saw the Holadall Ville briefcase and thought it was fantastic. It only comes in zinc or black colour. Zinc is a mod range gray. I'm fairly conservative so am I better off with safe black or the zinc. I don't generally like black but i don't regard grey as a colour for business,plus it would probably show dirt easier. What do you think? Appreciate any help. I am so impressed with this brand in every way

I love black bags, accessories and briefcases. For me, staple colors come first, then the dream of a rainbow of bag and accessory colors. I also like charcoal grey, for everyday.
I don’t think Moynat will ever be part of LVMH. Arnault wants to keep it family owned and relatively exclusive- no mass production. One of his sons has taken over running a lot of the company.
I’m like you, my wish list is all Moynat. The brand’s designs have captured my heart.
Please post anything Moynat you have, or get. I like hearing how things wear, and I like seeing a variety of their products.

That you for your thoughtful response. Today,with most luxury brands chasing the millennial and urban consumer with logo sneakers and collaborations with steeetwear companies ,it's great to see a company that still produces incredibly well made and exquisitely designed products,and is not chasing the latest trends. Today "luxury" is such an overused term for ubiquitous brands that you see everywhere in every city. Moynat is representative of a true luxury brand in every way
