Official MOYNAT Thread

Has anyone noticed their Gabrielle/Gaby clasp scratches easily? I’ve had my Gabrielle bag for about a month and while I don’t baby it, I’m not careless with it, yet I found two tiny scratches. Overall, I’m still thrilled with the color, weight and size. Let me know if you’ve experienced some scratching. I may just be a “bull in a china shop”. Thanks!

I’ve heard of the clasp scratching from other posts (years ago). Especially fine, hairline scratches. Like Hermès, they probably do a beautiful job replacing the hardware, when needed.
I’m glad your enjoying it. You're doing what you’re supposed to do- wearing it. Don’t worry about the scratches, it means it’s being used.

Thank you for your kind and assuring words. Yes, I love it too much to not have it with me every day. I’m just going to tell myself the tiny scratches are its way of being in solidarity with my wrinkles . Hope you are well. Have a wonderful weekend.

I know I’m probably weird, but I think a lot of high end/ handmade bags get even more beautiful and chic looking when they are looking a little more used and loved!

The canvas strap Gabys are still being produced. Though exclusive and launched at Saks, they are available through all stores.
The canvas strap has to be purchased with the bag, they are unavailable for special order (w/o a bag purchase) and they will not be made adjustable. I think it would be wonderful if Moynat did an all canvas adjustable version, kind of like a Hermès Evelyne strap.

Thanks for the info, and totally agree!

Yes they do get small scratches with regular use but in my experience no more or less than Hermes hardware.

The only way a bag will look brand new is if you never use it.

Thanks for your insight. I’m glad to know it’s to be expected even with high end brands.

I never thought about it that way before but you’re right. Many thanks!

Wow. I recently found this thread and fell in love with the Gaby and Gabrielle. I am in US and not anywhere closed to a Moynat store. If I call a Moynat store, will they assist and ship one to me?
I see 24s.com sell these online but I am not so sure I want to buy online.

YES!!! Moynat has the best customer service and will answer a thousand and one question with a smile complete with photos! My experience is mostly with the Paris store, but have had amazing experience from the London and New York store as well. Good Luck!

Hahahahaha.
I love the “solidarity with my wrinkles” line. That's excellent!

Hi everyone,

I'm new to moynat and I tried to backread but it's a long backread so thought I'd see if anyone can help me.

I am loving the look of moynat bags but right now I'm specifically eyeing a tote that I spotted on the IG story of a celebrity. It's a tote that looks like Goyard but it has exterior pockets and looks more structured like it has a skeleton compared to the Goyard tote that is basically without any type of structural hold. I can't seem to find this tote online and was wondering if anyone knows what it is?

I was eyeing it as suggested in the H forum when I was looking for a diaper bag that can also serve later on as a bag carrier (put H bags in it when transporting).

Thanks for any input.

Do you mean this one?

That looks like it, thank you ! But I somehow thought it could be worn over the shoulder maybe I was wrong.

It can. It has a second longer set of handles which are tucked in in that pic.

It’s been discontinued but I saw one on the RealReal the other day.
