The color is stunning, isn’t it?! Once again, the saturation of color the Moynat tannery achieves is amazing to me. You can tell they achieve the exact same color in leather (the other side of nubuck) on the handle and (probably) the shoulder strap. That means that color is possible, if they’d just do it.This is the bag I would love to buy if it was in leather
Absolutely gorgeous! I believe it’s the same color I saw a Danse in at SCP. I made a beeline for it and immediately asked about a leather gaby pm. I’m really looking forward to seeing everything Moynat comes out with. Even though certain styles aren’t practical for me or my style, everything is so beautiful and incredibly made.
Couldn't agree more. They also do SO's, so if there is a color/size combo you really like that they aren't producing you could probably get it via that route.
Personally I wouldn’t go smaller than the PM, but I like a somewhat commodious bag for travel. IMO the taupe would be the best year-round option (I don’t typically carry much black in the warmer months). It’s a great bag and hands free with cross body strap, easily goes day to night. I don’t think you can go wrong with any of those choices as long as you are sure the size is right. Good luck!
Thank you! I often take a longchamp bag to put the smaller bag in when I want to be more discreet. So that is why I was thinking the smaller one for when I arrive at my destination. Because it makes for a better evening bag as well.
I just spotted this on the Moynat Instagram feed. I think this bag is haunting you.
I’d like to hear input about travel ability, too. I’m planning on traveling with any Gaby and Josephine I end up getting, but I’m also interested in the versatile of other styles. Your color choices sound terrific!
Thank you! Travel capability is key! I love the Gaby and Josephine too!
I agree with @bagnut1 a PM is a more practical size for day or night, especially if you’re taking it travelling and wish to limit the number of bags you take. The taupe is my personal favourite colour and works year round. Black is more dressy for evening perhaps and could be used daytime too. Have you visited the boutique and had a look? They don’t always have all available colours to choose from but hopefully when you try them you’ll know which one is meant to be! Good luck and please show us when you get one. The Rejane is a beautiful bag

The small one is definitely cute and may well work for you. I’d just recommend trying to fit your essential items for a normal day out in both maybe before deciding. I tend to like enough space for a couple of extras if I’m taking a bag on holiday as my main bag. A passport, kindle, mobile, small card holder, bit of makeup and glasses at least, as I don’t like putting expensive bags in my suitcase if I can help it. I think the mini probably holds very little. But in all fairness I’ve not tried one. My Josephine is more similar in dimensions to the petite size and that works perfectly for travel for me. Good luck!
Thank you for this advice @Tonimichelle. I usually only need space for my phone, a card holder, and a lipstick once I'm where I need to be. When I am in the midst of traveling (like on a train or plane), I ALWAYS put my handbag in a Longchamp bag so as not to have to put my nice handbag on a conveyer belt at security... and to be more discreet. In addition that way I have other room for things that I might not want to put in my checked luggage.
