very cute! Thanks for the pictures @Sourisbrune! Is this Gabrielle pm? I saw this color in store and it’s so beautiful!! I like this selection of colors for the medallions much more, but the marquetry ones still win hands down.

Yes, this Gabrielle is a pm, and it’s Woodrose.

Yes, this Gabrielle is a pm, and it’s Woodrose.

Thanks for the confirmation. With all the craziness going on, has the Gabrielle WOC ever come out?

Aaaaaahhhhhh, not Buffalo. I meant cow. Chinese New Year 2021. These are Ramesh design era. They originally came out earlier this year.

oh right, last year was the rat so they did mice (cuter than rats) ones....

I did see the black non-piped version in person and I liked it, but it was completely structure-less save for the back pocket. I think the cognac piping might help with maintaining the shape a bit.

Otherwise, I'm not sure if the stitching/structure will be better or worse for it. I don't mind the idea of wear showing on the piping so much, but I'm not sure if my stuff will fit the same way as it did in the non-piped version.

I'm keeping an open mind about it, but the sale has been very confusing and borderline overwhelming to navigate. I also believe this will be my post-Ramesh design purchase so I'm curious what I'll see.

I think the barenia piping adds character. Over time it’ll patina and give the bag a rich accent. I’m a solid colors person, too, but I think this contrast just might pleasantly surprise you.

Are you talking about the BOC, as seen on BagHag Diaries IG?

Moynat decided not to make this bag. The Gaby BOC was one of Ramesh’s last designs, and it would’ve debuted after he left the company, so Moynat did not produce it. I wonder what else he sketched.

She arrived!


Thank you to @quadmama @littleunicorn @m220888 for sharing your experience with the Fleur. My first impression is that it's smaller than the modeling pics I've seen, which is great because I was worried it'd be too long for me. Also the leather is very nice. The blush changes from pale white to muted gray, depending on the light. I flipped the strap inside out as I'm not a pink person. Great design!

Paris shipped it without a Moynat box, so I was horrified to open the package to find my bag squished inside a dustbag, alongside some paper stuffing. Thankfully no scratch or dent, eventhough it was a displayed bag. I know Paris is busy but ...

If anyone is still thinking about Fleur, go for it. It's stinking cute

Congratulations! I am so glad you like the bag. It is a very unique design for the Mason. As far as the packaging goes, I think it is my understanding that they no longer ship special offer items in a Moynat box and I think that applies to Moynat boutiques world wide. I am relieved that your bag arrived safe and sound. Enjoy!

I convinced myself to buy the Rejane saddle in the eggplant color. I will post photos of it when it arrives. My SA is trying to tempt me into buying one of the MM Danse bags that are included in the legacy offering as well. I love the overall design, but am worried that it will not hold its shape over time and become too floppy. Does anyone have thoughts about this?

I’m late on this. Just catching up on reading this thread. I have both the eggplant and the natural colored Barenia Rejane saddle bags. I like the bag style but they are on the heavy side and I sometimes wish they had a back pocket for my phone. But they have a roomy interior without looking bulky and fit all my essentials in this time of covid. I don’t think they make a lot of these so congratulations on finding one! The eggplant color is a bit of a chameleon color and changes in indoor lighting, vs shade or direct sunlight.

You were right the first time, @Sourisbrune! This is a Chinese New Year Buffalo macaron — or normally the “ox” in Chinese zodiac — I checked my receipt. Your photo makes me so excited for mine! The marquetry macarons will always be so special. I am glad to hear they will only be taking a break and will be coming back shortly

Nice, and lucky you to have 2! (And you are right they are not that easy to come by, mostly b/c Ramesh was very particular with the barenia skins.) I have the cognac one as well and agree that it is a bit heavy. Also I like having a handle _and_ crossbody strap, so I just tied a twilly for a "handle." But the leather is really just TDF.

Beautiful!!!!!! Congratulation! I love that you have twins.

Thank you! I think it was actually one of your posts that led me to asking my SA about the saddle bag. In fact a good portion of my Moynat collection is due to pics you and others have posted on this thread. I thank all the lovely people who post info on this thread. My bank account may not be happy but I am

Ah, yes, the Bank Account. I wonder what the new management team's vision for prices on the new collection will be. (Hoping that the vanity trunk hike is not an early indicator.)

Gaby/Gabrielle are around a little less than half of Kellys last I remember. And the vanity trunk just doubled........

The eggplant barenia is TDF. And so envious that you have barenia twins!!

I really hope they continue to make barenia bags under the new direction.
