@Sourisbrune that's really too bad. Either one of those issues IMO are perfectly sufficient reason to reject the bag, but with both on the same bag it's definitely a QC issue.

Puckering trim and a wonky bottom are not acceptable. Handmade does not equal sloppy.

I think I know what happened. The puckering and stitching is a QC issue, for sure. But, I was repacking the bag to ship back to Moynat when I finally pulled the dust bag from the paper shopping bag. I saw the little brown envelope on the bottom. It was slightly mangled and torqued. Then I noticed that whoever packed the bag didn’t leave the shopping bag’s cardboard bottom in place- it had been torn out so the shopping bag and bag could fit inside the extremely narrow shipping box it came in. The box is narrower than the Oh! Tote- thus the base of my bag got bowed and the corner got misshapen.
The bag was smooshed in its shipping box!
Oh, please!!!!!!!!
It‘s difficult to show the torque of the receipt envelope, but you can see the wrinkle. And you can see where someone tore out the bottom of the shopping bag and placed it on the side interior.

The box is 4.5” wideBowed, you can tell the bag is deeper/wider than the box.

Oh for Pete's sake. (Oh! for Pete's sake)

I order little stuff from Amazon and other retailers all of the time that almost always come in boxes that are WAY TOO BIG, and sturdy, for what's being shipped. A little more sense needs to go into packing up a four-figure bag.

Totally agree. I didn’t buy a Hermès bag from my friend, but I bought one from a store and it had to be shipped. The box it came in was huge! My hubby took one look at the box and asked if I ordered a Mini Cooper. Maybe Moynat should consider all shipments should be in gift boxes inside the shipping boxes.

Yeah, their box protocol has been...... spotty. Wonder if there will be more consistency going forward.

Speaking of boxes, I was told their bags and boxes are being given a facelift too.

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.

Hiiiiiiiiiiiii @konacoffee: how are you? i was wondering if you could share your experience/pictures/whatever you got re the Danse bag i went to the Moynat Dubai store and saw one by accident. i had gone in just to look for a mini wallet for my husband and it caught my eye. i just bought Gaby n Rejane few months ago online and Danse is not on my wishlist. im here in dubai for 2 more days and im finding it really difficult to decide whether i shud get it. i mean, i ended up buying a grey pouch impulsively yesterday grrrr its really nice but i dunno why i bought it grrrrrr. you said you bought it post-Ramesh era. was Danse designed by Ramesh? will there be more Danses in future? how do u like the soft frame of the bag? any advice/thoughts wud be appreciated. thank u so much.

and every bb Gaby (scarlet/black/taupe) was SO cute. just kill me already. this was miss Danse sitting below a bigger purple Danse at the back of the store.

Sorry to butt in, but could you return the pouch and use the store credit towards a bag? That Danse is gorgeous!

You are not butting in. My husband wants to use the pouch while im undecided about Danse/Gaby bb red/black. I have one day left so may be I will get these bag(s) in future. Honestly I want all three and its very hard to decide. ❤

This color is a perfect neutral! Danse is a fantastic bag. The look is unique and depending on how much you carry, it’s a great daily bag.I have a black one from Ramesh’s era and I love it!

That pouch is niiiiice. I feel your pain. Moynat bags are like potato chips ... and I’m on a diet.

Would your diet go out of the window if you encountered too many cute Moynats? My one-Moynat-a-year promise is out of the window for sure. I saw the black Gaby bb you posted in person and im so obsessed but there was the red one too. After one whole day of back and forth thinking, this is where I am at: first it will be omg bb red or black Gaby babies (bbs look like Rigel in the pic in my eyes) and then the soft, buttery unique baby ahhhhhhhh Danse. I wish I never saw Danse in person the other day and I wish one of you ladies was going Moynat-shopping with me. Once I enter that store today though, I do not know with which bag I am going to walk out. I am thankful to this forum I have somewhere to go and talk about bags with all you lovely people here. Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤

Hey! I posted some pics and a mod shot of my Danse PM here. So far I've really been enjoying it!

I know mine is post-Rameesh because the Paris store told me it came directly from their warehouses. Mine also has the piping on the edges of the bag and side snaps which gives it a bit more structure. However, my understanding is that Rameesh is the one who designed it (without the piping and side snaps).

It's very lightweight and casual, but it fits a lot! I can fit in a Nintendo Switch Lite, Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, LV mini pouchette, keys, wallet. Personally I like the contrast between the black leather and the Cognac details and strap, but to me it reads as a very casual bag because of it.

Quality is excellent. Feels great to the touch and the cognac handle and strap is comfortable. I did notice some scratches, but that just adds to the beauty imo. Water marks dry off very quickly if you happen to touch it with wet hands.

I don't regret this bag at all and it's part of my regular rotation. It's pretty carefree of all things considered and very practical. Personally I love how unique it is, but I think the Gaby is more versatile with how you can dress it up or down. There's really no wrong answer here imo. I hope this helps a bit.

Thank you so so so much for taking time to reply. I appreciate it very much. ❤

A for rent sign has appeared in the window of the NYC boutique. The store has been closed since the start of the pandemic and it has been cleared out. When they put a couple of bags back in the window a few months back I thought that was a good sign, but they never reopened.
