@optimisticqt ,Thank you! Oh gosh, tell me about it! Ha! I am doing the same with Delvaux. I truly only need one more bag to have my bases covered...but all the colors! I..gotta..stay..focused. As far as weight, the PM is a tad heavier, but you see how little I carry;-). I have to be super careful with shoulder weight too. I know what you mean though and wider straps help so much with weight distribution.

@m220888 , I do the exact same when storing mine. I think, because I carry so little in the PM, that an insert would keep it more structured looking. If you come across anything, please remember me! I may contact MaiTai and ask what she thinks. It really is a spacious bag!:heart:
@littleunicorn , Thank you and so happy they could be of help to you. :flowers:Virtual shopping for handbags is really challenging. If you go with a Gaby, please let us know! I get so excited by others purchases as much as my own!
@Sourisbrune , Thank you and you are so welcome! You all helped me immensely when I made my decisions. Glad to be able to give back! :flowers:

I am considering adding the Nano Réjane to my bag collection (I know, I know...it's not a bag) and have compared the measurements to Hermès' Mini Bolide which is only 1.5cm higher but has the same depth and length. The latter does fit my iPhone 11Pro, so although Paris has told me the Nano will definitely not fit a phone, I am wondering if anyone with the Nano could make it work? Thanks a lot in advance for any help/advice!

A bit late for a reply, but unless you have the Samsung Z Fold, Palm Phone, or one of those tiny old phones it's not going to work. I thought the same as you, but once I saw it in person I was surprised by how tiny it is. It fits on the palm of my hand.

I honestly feel like it'll look really disproportionate on any adult women taller than 5 feet. It's cute and I can admire it, but it feels more like a novelty item than a practical piece. I'd size up to the BB.

Thank you for your reply! I already figured out myself after trying another nano sized bag that hardly fit my phone (it did but was just pretty hard to get it in and out) and I knew anything even smaller would be a pain to use. I adore the BB size and hope new colours will be added soon (Paris told me they hope new things will be available in March/April) as the Nano just isn’t for me. I guess I was attracted to the price point.

Yes, the pm pewter Oh! Tote finally came to the US. Mind you, I’m still not a big fan of the stripes, but this will save my Hermès from our icky weather. I’ll probably wear it every time it rains or when I go to the coast. Each store got one tote.

I was debating whether or not to write something about Moynat workmanship, but decided I’d want to know if one of you saw something when you purchased a recent bag. Over the years we’ve seen impeccable workmanship coming from the Moynat atelie. Today, I saw on a bag, stitching that was less than their usual perfection. It cascaded (ever so gradually) up and down along the side of the bag. It was off maybe a mm or two, but quite noticeable to me.
I hope this is not the future of Moynat workmanship and a disregard for product quality ( send out to stores). I guess I’ll have to check out all bags, before I get too excited after purchasing. I‘ll need to do that with all companies.

Finally!!! Is this widely available or only because you had put a deposit on it? Thanks!

Congrats on the new tote!!

The most recent piece I got that I know was post-Rameesh is the Danse PM I got. I wrote a more detailed post about somewhere on this thread, but the craftsmanship seemed good. Nothing that I wouldn't attribute to the natural properties of the leather or the nature of handmade products.

The most recent purchase was a Rejane BB in January, but I don't know if that was post-Rameesh or not. Also nothing to note with that one, but I can take pictures later when I have more time for reference if people would like to see it.

I'm really not sure what I feel about Moynat right now. It ticks all the boxes for me (quality, good CS, designs I like), but if they go the route of LV/Chanel and raise their price while detracting from their quality I might just stopped looking at luxe brands to be honest. Not saying I'll totally give up luxe shopping, but if price increases and quality drops becomes the new norm I don't feel like I'm getting value from my purchases anymore.

I totally understand and agree with what you wrote. I’m still in a wait-and-see mode with Moynat’s new lines. What excites me is that the bags will still be hand made, but I’m curious if post-Covid- the brand has had to replace some of their excellent ateliers with a few newbies. I guess we have yet to see where Moynat prices are going.

European based luxury brands are going price crazy. I stopped buying Chanel. When I visited boutiques and saw flawed bags on the shelves, and the SA’s didn’t care, I knew a misaligned or backwards machine stitched $5-$7K bag from a factory that sews MK bags wasn’t for me. I want ‘old school’ workmanship.

I still like Hermès, but I am mindful about my purchases. A 25 Kelly, or 24/24 mini, will be my last Hermès bag. I can’t justify $8-$10K bags anymore- and that’s where many bag prices are going. I hope Moynat stays at the $3-$5K leather bag price point.

Thank you very much for letting us all know that there may be quality issues with new pieces in the post-Ramesh era. I have always shopped remotely with the NYC boutique and I was never concerned that they would sell me something that had less than perfect workmanship. It is really important to know that this may no longer be the case so we can all pay closer attention to the finishing on the bag before deciding to make another purchase. I really hope they don't let us down.
