Has anyone here checked out Valextra? How does the quality compare to Moynat? Or is it more on Loewe's level?

Since the news of Ramesh's departure hit, I've been scoping different bag brands that a similar no-logo aesthetic. I don't really think of Valextra as a Moynat alternative exactly, but a lot of what drew me to Moynat (quiet branding, high quality, classic, but interesting shapes) is attracting me to Valextra right now.

I just can't comment on the quality as I never had one or CS since I don't have a store near me.

I love Valextra and own the Twist Shoulder in Oyster. I commented somewhere on this thread earlier about the differences/similarities between Valextra and Moynat, but personally I feel that no other company can hold a candle to Moynat leathers aside from Hermès. Both the Twist and Josephine are lined in beautiful smooth calfskin, but when you compare them directly side by side Moynat's Perle calfskin is much softer, IMO. External leathers are obviously different between the two bags and I'm only familiar with Moynat Taurillon, however I adore Valextra's grained calfskin and think the closest comparison would be Epsom.

There is a Valextra thread on the forum as well you might want to check out, but I 100% agree with the similar no-logo aesthetic vibes between the two brands. Hope this helps and happy shopping! ;)

This is an exclusive Gabrielle PM, in the color Purple. (Purple? :lol: How French.)
There are only five in the world- and they’re only at Sak’s in NYC. I think it’s stunning.

Sigh. I was trying to be good and not buy any bags until later this year and then you post this. I’m just drooling over this purple!

So relatable. After my spending spree last year, my wallet really needs to recover. Waiting until later this year to pick up another Gaby.

I'm considering downsizing my collection and selling my Emerald Gabrielle if I get another Gaby. I love the color and look of my Gabrielle, but to be honest I barely use it. I use my Danse and even my Cabotins more and I've had them for a shorter amount of time! Not sure if I can stomach that loss right now though.

I should downsize so I can give my bags the right amount of love and interest, but I'm not emotionally ready to yet.:doh:

Does Moynat currently offer any crossbody wallet style bag? My mom uses hers everyday but the leather is fading (tsk tsk Prada) and I'd like to get her a replacement that is of better quality, or has a "spa" option. Any recommendations from this group is highly trusted and appreciated! :)

by wallet style, do you mean like chanel WOC with the cc slots? Because off the top of my head, I can’t think of any of their bags that have that feature.

I thought the same! I totally didn't get it :confused1: This is a post I'd do on my private, personal account -- and I have very limited social media creativity. They could have done so much better :sad:

Waiting for Knightly’s first rollout is painful. I think they’re taking too long- it‘s effecting their marketing. People will start to move on. I realize Moynat’s number of crafts(wo)men are no match for Hermès- so it takes longer to make the bags. But no real teasers to excite their clientele is sad. I hope the big reveal is awe-worthy, and not a flop. Just a few weeks more.:whut:

I’m sorry- No WOC styles. They made a prototype a few years ago, but it was never manufactured. Who knows, Knightly might have one in the works someday.
