Official MOYNAT Thread

[m_ichele]

My new SA texted me regarding their Gaby pm stock, offering to ship to me if I was interested. My interest was peaked with a peacock Gaby, but it turns out there’s none available in PM. There’s Outremer and boreal green in Nubuck, but I’m not sure about it since I was aiming for their taurillon leather. Nubuck seems like more maintenance. I’d appreciate any thoughts if anyone has experience with Moynat’s Nubuck bags. In the meantime, here’s what she shared with me so I would know what colors she was referring to for Gaby PM. The mini vanity is boreal green and the gaby pm is Outremer.

That mini vanity is gorgeous and I think the Gaby’s color is beautiful.
I’m allergic to nubuck, so I’m the last person who should comment on it ... but, I will.
I love the look of nubuck, the color saturation of nubuck is usually fantastic because it’s the side of calfskin that’s is very porous, but I am such a klutz and would destroy a nubuck purse with the first beverage I hold near it. I know people who have had nubuck handbags for years and years, so better people than me can make a nubuck handbag last.

The sewing needles are back at work at the atelier workshops.

I can’t remember who showed interest in the Limo 40 briefcase, but there is one in NYC.

I hope Moynat doesn’t raise their prices again, like Chanel and LV. I’m not ready for another price increase.

The color payoff with Nubuck is the biggest pro, but my clumsy tendencies made me decide against it, particularly at this price point. It makes me queasy just thinking about spilling something on it and even with my SA’s assurance she could send it to be spa’d, I’m not convinced. She sent me a pic of Gaby MM in peacock which literally gave me goosebumps, I’m talking love at first sight, but it’s not available in PM I’m marinating over the idea of a special order, but I need to see the peacock color in person first.

thank you for your thoughts on Nubuck, Sourisbrune!

Are the SAs going into the store?

Are the SAs going into the store?

My SA said she thinks they’ll be taking appointments end of this month. This would be for the South Coast Plaza boutique.

This vert fonce-type color is amazing!

Are the SAs going into the store?

I’ve heard the US stores could open by the end of the month, depending on governors’ orders. I’ve also heard about appointments, too. They would like to keep foot traffic down.
I saw an interview with Erik Nordstrom on tv yesterday. He mentioned, once the stores open, clothes and other items tried on will be held and not put back on the racks for 72 hours. Geez, I feel sorry for people who wear a popular size pant or shoes. It’ll be a hit or miss to try on things.
I hope Moynat UV lights their bags, so items can immediately be returned to the shelves for the next customer.

Peacock is TDF. And, MM is good size day bag and can fit iPad too. But, SO is always an option as you say. Good luck!

Have you seen peacock in person bagnut1? SA said peacock is more greenish but the pic looks blue with some green to me. She said boreal green Nubuck will be replacing peacock and will be available for Gaby PM and that color is definitely green. She sent me a pic of it but the pic was from another SA with their watermark so I won’t post it here. She also said there is yellow and maybe orange coming for Gaby PM.

I have. It is on the green side but still very blue. Sort of reminds me of H Colvert and similarly is chameleon.

If boreal green is this color:

Then it is extremely close to Peacock, but the light effect will be different due to the different finish.

Photo of Peacock from insta - color is very close to true. I love it - it's a very sophisticated and versatile color.

Thank you for the comparison shots @bagnut1! They’re very helpful! Peacock does look very versatile. I’m leaning pretty heavily towards making a SO now. I first saw it with GHW but I like this one with SHW too.

I haven't seen the peacock in real life so this is based on pictures that I've seen. It is one of those chameleon colours that you can't quite put a label on depending on the light. My SA sent me some pictures before of the Quattro in this shade and she raves about it. Personally, I think it is a "coloured neutral" that will go with so many outfits.

Yes! A colored neutral is exactly what I was thinking but was unable to put into words. Thank you for putting it so simply @Bagaholic222.

I saw that the boutique here will be available for curbside pickup on May 22 so hopefully visits by appointment will follow soon!
