I chose his signature terrazzo calf for this one. He said it is made from the same type of leather as Hermes Swift and I love the unique pattern. If the bag turns out as well as I expect it to, I will probably work with him on a second bag using one of his exotics. He has so many amazing options to choose from! I am really excited and cannot wait for him to finish it for me.

Hi,
Could any of the Moynat lovers comment on the weight of the Gabrielle mini vs Rejane mini vs Gabrielle pm(petite)? Gabrielle pm felt too heavy for me personally unfortunately so I’m trying to decide between the two mini sizes without being able to compare them in person. Is Gabrielle bb much heavier than Rejane bb?
Thank you so much in advance!

Yes, he has been wonderful! I don't know about the other ladies here, but this is my first experience where I have been able to actually work directly with the person who is making a custom bag for me. I think that is really special and adds an extra element of fun to the whole process.

Back in the aughts there was a lovely Brazilian bag designer who for a while had a custom pop up shop in Henri Bendel. I don't remember his name but after his Bendel's gig ended he opened a free-standing NYC shop. I ordered a bag and it was really fun to make all of the various choices. (Granted his price point was significantly shy of Moynat/Nitz - there were definitely sewing machines and assistants involved.)

Really looking forward to seeing your Lorin! (And also to seeing new Moynat designs.)

I'm going off memory since I don't have the Gabrielle BB, but I think it would be lighter than the Rejane BB since it has less hardware. It's a more structured leather so it doesn't fit as much. However, of the two I prefer the Rejane.

I recently got a Moynat belt! I actually went to look at the belts the very first time I went in (ended up with the airplane pouch instead). Recently dropped by and was reminded that these exist.

I really love the engraving and detail on this buckle and being reversible is a great pro too. Very pleased with this purchase. :)

Thank you for sharing this! I have been curious about Moynat belts for a while now. Is the buckle completely separate from the strap like Hermes belts to allow you to mix and match them?

Yes! The size here is 15mm, which should work with Hermes's 13mm straps if you wanted to mix & match.

Unfortunately my store didn't have a tan one in, so I'm looking for leather straps/different buckles. Might have accidentally started a new addiction, lol.

Do they have thicker belts? I’ve looked at them before but I can’t recall.
