Thank you. Although you would think from most companiy's offerings,that businessmen only carry backpacks and messenger bags to the office,the executives I know and deal with still purchase and carry premium quality traditional style briefcases. So i think there would be a market for these at Moynat. Hermes still does very well with their sac a depeches business case and has produced it for many years in a variety of colors and leathers
I'm a woman but I was drawn to the Holdall Ville Petite (I think it's called, not sure if we mean the same one) when I visited Moynat for the first time and tried it out. It's a similar size to the Limousine. It has an elegant briefcase shape, is surprisingly light, and looks like it could fit a considerable amount despite how sleek the silhouette is. It comes with a shoulder strap. For a men's business bag my personal sense is that black is a classic colour; grey may present as more informal but I guess it depends also on what the user is wearing?

The petite is the small version of the larger holdall ville. I would definately consider the full size one. I'm 6'3 so I need a larger briefcase. Thank you for the input on colour choice
Thank you for all these lovely close-up shots! I never knew they made bags in so many shades of blue. Are Moynat colours seasonal?
Yes, some of Moynat’s colors are seasonal. Black and taupe are the permanent colors in most of their bags. Sometimes a shade of red or blue are permanent colors, too. The Quattro comes in several colors- clients just have to wait for their favorite to be made, or special order (if that’s still available for Quattros).
Last fall, burgundy, purple and a dark blue were seasonal, this year we saw fog grey and I think, a bright pink and a peach color. My favorite was fall of 2017, terra cotta and brick red. Earth tones were their thing. Then in the spring of 2018, their bags were muted spring colors- light blue, lavender, pink, ...
Every once and a while I’ll see a new bag come out in an old season color. For instance, over the past few month their Fleur bags have been pink, light blue, and lavender. Now they’re coming in multi-colored bold reds, orange and blues. Personally, I’m not a fan of the multi color combos of the Fleur.
I’m curious about what’s coming up. If the press show is any indication, the colors they’ve chosen, depending on the bags, are going to be muted, and jewel toned.
I think I’ll have photos coming soon- Curtis has been in Europe and England for a few weeks. He met with Ramesh. When he is returns, I’ll have photos, including new things.
I'm excited for new things. Moynat is a brand focused on reinvention while keeping its quality standards and attention to detail, I like that about the brand. Thank you for sharing with us.

Thanks for all your photos and info! This brand is my new favorite but I have yet to see in person.
NYC store. I think I see a new seasonal color (Josephine and Limousine bags).
I like the Josephine color combo.
I like the Josephine color combo.

Thanks for the photos! I love this colour combo, I think from my last visit there will also be a taupe with black (which if I’d been patient enough to wait for I would have got) and a dark green combo? I love my Josephine so much I’m now scheming how to fund a larger sized one (although I really wish there was a size in between, the larger one is slightly too big for my frame at 38cm) or a Pauline in a neutral colour. Just not sure about that zip!
I wonder if Moynat will come out with a Josephine between the two current sizes. They came out with a pm Gaby and a 23 Rejane.
I love the orange and the blue Josephine bags from this past summer- the colors make me smile. But, there is something about this raisin-ish burgundy and the darker taupe that screams fall.
I really hope so. The current sizes are listed as PM and MM, but at 26.5cm and 38cm that’s a big difference in size. About 32cm would be perfect!
I haven't checked this page in so long (not sure why, it's fantastic) so I had no idea there was another size Gabby until today. Mine is small and perfect, but I can only wear it out to dinner. And the larger size was just too big for me, but the new size looks fantastic. I am heading to the UK next week so will head over to Selfridges and check it out. And thanks for all the pictures, this brand is just the best!!
I wanted a Hermès Bolide for a long time. I finally bought a pre-owned 32cm. I didn’t like it when I finally tried it on and walked around in the privacy of my own home.
I think a 32cm Josephine would be excellent. No handles blocking the accessibility and it doesn’t have to stay zipped when shoulder carried. To open a Bolide hanging from your shoulder, you have to bypass the two handles and the shoulder strap to unzip the bag. I imagine, with a Josephine, to open it you just have to unlatch it. And the Josephine is about 40% the price of a new Bolide.
I’m a fan!
