I bought a zinc Gabrielle last June and while I don’t baby my bags, I’m not careless either. No issues whatsoever with wear yet, however I haven’t been caught in the rain so I can’t speak on that. Zinc is middle ground I guess for grey, not light, nor too dark so no color transfer that I can tell, but I did wrap the handle with a twilly. I’m not a fan of stamped leather either but when I saw this Gabrielle, I didn’t even have to mull over my decision. It was love at first sight

That would be beautiful. Perhaps, as a special order. I know Ramesh is a stickler for special order bags being of a similar, if not same, leather as his original design. He has allowed for several natural calf bags in the more structured bags. I can see the Pauline in a natural calf, too.
Zinc is an excellent neutral for those of us who love gray and black.I bought a zinc Gabrielle last June and while I don’t baby my bags, I’m not careless either.

Well the Pauline is semi structured so maybe one day I’ll ask, you never know! I had an Hermes Kelly in barenia and it’s a more structured leather than clemence or Togo for instance and if the Pauline comes in croc that’s not slouchy. It would be gorgeous! I never see any instagram posts from Moynat with the Pauline anymore though, so I’m still slightly worried they’re going to discontinue it. That would be a real shame as it’s my favourite bag and I’d like another one one day.
It’s one of my favorites, too. The architectural lines/silhouette, casual and business looks, and the ability to shoulder carry makes it a winner.
Oh no!I'll be in London at the beginning of March, so I won't be there in time to buy at old prices.
Did you happen to see any Gaby BBs at the boutique? How big are the prices increases in £? Thanks.
Assuming that the 24s.com site updates prices at the same time (as they’re usually in line with the current UK price if you look in £s) they’ve not gone up in the UK yet. Either that or they haven’t changed in France yet and Le Bon Marche is still selling them at the current prices to elsewhere. @Worldtraveler4evr if you know exactly what it is you’d like I wonder if you could contact the London Boutique and pay now at the existing price (assuming it hasn’t changed there yet) but collect in a couple of weeks?
I noticed the 24 Sevres prices on Saturday, too. The only thing I could think of is only new inventory is at the new price. The Gaby bb they have in fog is summer 2019, and almost everything else they have on their website has been on there for at least a week or two.
Ah never thought of that! A lot of the stock on there has been unchanged for a long time.
I’ve been checking the website daily LOL and also noticed the prices are still the same!
I’ve been in touch with David at Mount Street since last week. He is so nice and extremely prompt! At first I inquired about a Gaby BB in fog, but since they don’t have it, I’m leaning toward a black Gaby BB black GHW as that’s also on my wishlist. 
He has sent me many photos and I’m also tempted by the new mini grey Réjane with purple interior. 
Thanks for recommending David @Tonimichelle ! David said I could purchase a bag now and collect it when I’m in London (or if I change my mind I could return that bag and purchase a different one). He said the price for the black Gaby BB with gold is £2900, but I know gold hardware is more expensive than palladium, so I don’t know if this is an old or new price. 
I know the Gaby BB in palladium is £2700. I am going to London soon, but the boutique doesn’t have it. However, after London I am going to Italy where I have a home that I visit yearly. Italy doesn’t have a Moynat boutique, but I was thinking of maybe ordering the Gaby BB fog online on 24s.com and having it shipped to my Italian address so I could get it at € pricing. 
Does anyone here have multiple Gaby BBs? I currently have 4 grey bags (Chanel CF, Chanel mini, Céline box, Céline trotteur), would 5 be too much? 
I just love a light grey and can’t seem to get Fog off my mind! The fog is beautiful. It’s a good neutral. It’s not too blue or too beige.I’ve been checking the website daily LOL and also noticed the prices are still the same!
That is a good observation! I’ve been checking out the pricing for the Gaby BB in fog daily.
Ah I’m glad you spoke to David, he’s lovely! If you speak to him again please tell him that Toni and Pietro say hello. I don’t think the customer service we’ve received in Moynat can be beaten to be honestI’ve been checking the website daily LOL and also noticed the prices are still the same!

Gorgeous... Especially the Paradis! Any idea how much it is?
