Sorry for continuing to be a harpy about this, but if they measure success by getting new customers that expect sale prices and hedge their bets by waiting for half price bags, then I guess that's good. Personally I feel like a big dummy for paying what I did for a couple of my bags, and also I expect that resale will be depressed when I decide to rehome them.
It may be just as well that my expectations for the new collection are not so high. (And, what is with the huge wait for even seeing anything? The Gaby was shown like a whole year before it was available.)
Ok. That's it, I will only post joyful celebrations of my Moynat bags here until we see new stuff. Promise.
Thanks @m_ichele and @Sourisbrune for all your information and help. I'm still quite confused as to whether the Danse is on sale or not but will check again.
Finally, I agree with @bagnut1 about all the confusion about the sale being a bit distressing.
At any rate, going forward, I guess we will have to see what happens with the new artistic director and new bags in the spring. In the meantime, will just continue to enjoy what I have!

I’m not sure if Quattro will be discontinued or not but my SA sent me a new colour for Quattro a few days ago. The colour shall be green x taupe. The new colour just arrive today. I will have a look @ weekend and will post an update.
I am always grateful for your lovely shared info and pictures, @Sourisbrune!
Was just recommending to @kipp to double checked since she was told by SA this is not in the sale, if it is there will be a 2K difference which is definitely worthy asking again!
I won't be getting this as this is full price in Paris and London, confirmed, at the moment (no idea what's next in their plan? I was not expecting another sale in Nov but it happened, so who knows?), but seriously consider Danse in black/cognac.
Totally agree! I love my two Moynat bags but it is pretty irritating that one was later sold for 30% off the other for 50%!!!
There’s not a lot that they have right now that would convince me to spend the money, but even if they do have something in the new collection I’m going to be wondering if it’ll later be available at up to half the price.
I do love seeing everyone else’s sale purchases, there’s a lot of beautiful bags. I can’t help feeling that Moynat have somewhat devalued the brand with this though.
You are among TPF friends- we’re here to vent and celebrate.
The sale caught me off guard. I’m the person who doesn’t buy bags from companies that have an outlet and whose bags go on sale. I’ve been burned too often- buying a bag and seeing it $1000-$2000 off, weeks later. The Gaby hasn’t been on sale and there are no plans for it to be on sale in the future. It’s my bag.Hermes and Chanel are the great resellers, Moynat hasn’t really caught on. When I buy Moynat, I buy thinking it’s forever. Who knows, maybe someday Ramesh’s designs will be the have-to-have accessory and have great resale value.

Same dummy feeling here!
This is why I think twice now when I find out that my 1st choice of colour is not in the offer (eg. Danse in taupe/cognac), at full price - don't feel comfortable committed.
I also bought in the beginning of the June sale and find out its even cheaper now (this is not as bad but still..... not a nice feeling), I think we can say byebye to a good resale if we ever decide to rehome them.
Do double check, if it does, you will be one lucky lady as taupe/cognac is full price in Paris and London now.
Even I am not able to get it (can't justified paying full amount at the moment due to the reason I replied to @bagnut1), would be nice for our TPF friends do... Best of luck with it, please do keep us posted if you have good news to share.
It’s the forever part that gets me @Sourisbrune. It’s no secret that I love my Pauline just as much as / if not more than my Birkin (The design, the craftsmanship and the fact it is so subtle / under the radar). However with Hermes I know that they will continue to repair my bag and worst case scenario they still make it so a replacement would be an option (if funds allowed, so definitely not right now!). I wanted that from Moynat too I guess. I’m not concerned with reselling, more where the company is going. Will they repair it in 10 years? I definitely won’t be able to get a replacement!You are among TPF friends- we’re here to vent and celebrate.

I definitely hear what your saying. I had a vintage Hermès and when I sent it to the spa, I knew the end result would be excellent. I think Moynat is set on being an alternative to Hermès. Since each bag is handmade by an artisan, I can see the bags being spa’d by the company. I hope, with Knightly and other improvements they’re implementing behind the scenes, Moynat will achieve their goal.

Re: the taupe/cognac Danse---I found out what the story is. The older version of the bag did not have the cognac Barenia piping on the sides, which the new version has. If one looks closely at the bag @Sourisbrune posted earlier that was 'supposed' to be on sale, it has the barenia piping on the sides. It has a new SKU and it is full price. HTH.
I would have been OK with the old version but there are none available in either taupe or cognac. In fact, I think the new barenia piping might be problematical, having a barenia Birkin and Halzan and knowing how barenia wears/ages. It's one thing to have an entire bag made of barenia where wear will show more evenly, but then another to have piping that will likely get nicked and show wear far differently than the grained calf leather on the main part of the bag. At least, that's what I'm thinking.
Since I've never even tried this bag on and do not live near a boutique, I'll be taking my time to decide on it at full price...
Lastly, as confusing as the situation has been, I am very grateful still for 1) the help and information from the SA's I have worked with, their honesty and transparency, and responsiveness and 2) the Moynat bags I have and will continue to treasure them.
Oh right - I remember you mentioning some operational stuff a while back - anything you can share?
And thanks for your kind support of my crankiness.
@bagnut1 @littleunicorn @Sourisbrune I feel you all on the full price/sale price issue. I tell myself, adding a Fleur on sale will make it seems like I got a 20% discount on both bags, instead of paying 60% for Fleur and full price on my Strap. 
Oh the excuses I make to justify my want.
Speaking of want, SA sent me a photo of this Gabby PM in powder– the white bag I'vebeen looking for. I hope they release it in BB size.
P.s. I hope these sales are really to clear Ramesh-design stock, and won't become an annual ritual/strategy to boost sales. Otherwise I am quite worried about quality of future bags.

The private sale gone public became such a huge headache for Moynat, I heard they really cannot see doing another. I hope they keep that frame of mind.
