Official MOYNAT Thread

[Mousy]

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 ❤❤❤❤❤

I look at the photos and I think about my bag diet. The colors and styles are sooooooo yummy! I must say- the clients who post their goodies on this thread have wonderful taste.
I used to buy bags like people buy pizzas. I’d go to the malls (incl. stores- Nordstorm, Hermès, LV, Prada, Balenciaga, Ferragamo, Neiman’s, Chanel, Gucci ...) less than five minutes from my house and say to myself, “Ooooooo, that looks good,” then add that bag to a growing collection. I ended up with five Hermès, two Chanel, two Gucci, two Prada, and 8-10 LV bags. I decided there was more for me to enjoy than so many bags, so I sold all but one. I used that one bag for three years before buying a (short lived) Moynat Limo, then my first Oh! Tote.
As we get closer to our daughter’s college plans ($$$$$)- I remain careful with spending. My Hermès was a gift to myself after a long 2020.
Right now my wish list has so many bags on it, I feel like I’m in a holding pattern. I think I’m waiting to see what Knightly does, too.

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.

Yes, Moynat is available out of Sak’s for now. They will be opening a new store (probably late this year) that fits their new aesthetic.

Glad to hear their NYC foothold isn’t going away entirely! Is there any intel on where the new standalone store will be?

Hi @Miss_HK: ❤❤❤ congratulations. yayyyyyy. are you doing gold hardware or palladium? what size? im happy to hear someone else finds the emerald rejane irresistible (is it even permissible?). yes i also wondered what difference wud it be to get a post-ramesh-era one vs wat they already have. after seeing moynat's bag posts on instagram post-ramesh-era, im quite afraid the quality of their bags will just not be the same. and this is why i hurried and got a gaby few months ago last year and getting a rejane this year before march. thats when the SA in paris said the new stocks will come. in any case, high five girl. ❤❤❤

Took me a good while to finish work and get back to my moynat project - deciding on my first M bag...! I will be going for the bb size, but deciding which hardware I should go for.. what do you ladies here think about the color options? I was being offered Blush with Gold hardward, Gex with Gold hardward, and Gex with Palladium hardware.

Not sure if you can see it clearly in the picture, the Blush leather (left bag) has a yellow hue to it, where the Gex is a darker green! The SA said they are from different leather (and batches) hence a small color difference. I am so torn between the two options! All thoughts here will be appreciated!

@bambita, which bag did you go for at the end?

They have yet to find a new location. I suppose Moynat is in no rush because they have the Sak’s location. I think, post-Covid, rent has come down a bit in NYC, so Moynat is taking their time.

Aaaaaaah! Both are beautiful- yet, slightly different. I like both, but probably the bag on the left a wee bit better. Happy shopping!

Probably no help at all! But I prefer the look and feel of the Taurillon Gex leather (plus the green is slightly darker in that leather and prefer PHW), whilst the Taurillon Blush leather feels like it might be slightly harder wearing to me. Like I said, no help, sorry!

hiii i ended up going for the emerald with ghw

i chose ghw coz green is a mix of yellow plus blue so i thut ghw looks better with emerald. touterelle phw was tempting too just coz i wondered if ghw wud look tooo dressy for my everyday lifestyle. green wit gold looks classic n is a good combo. green wit palladium wud be more edgy/modern. different people think differently of this though. its ur call.

honestly though its so hard to decide ghw or phw. i understand ur pain. depends on wat u prefer. happy deciding and enjoying ur purchase

[ps: i spent several days trying to decide between a black gaby bb (ghw or phw) or a red gaby bb (ghw or phw)...or a danse pm. was soooo hard to decide under time pressure that i decided to put off buying for 6 months til i visit a moynat flagship store again . so im not fit to give u any advice. ]

Thank you for your kind sharing! Do you find emerald ghw easy to match with your outfits? Do you use it often after your purchase?

I am traditionally a PHW girl all the way but my eye is more drawn to the ghw in this case. I think it's the tone of the green with the ghw that goes really well together.

But either are beautiful!

Hi I wear lots of navy blue so it does go with emerald. And when I wear jewelry, it's gold more often than palladium so ghw does work for me. I dont carry baby Rejane as often as I wud like to. This is mainly due to the pandemic. Please do update after your purchase what you picked. Congratulations on your first M.

Hello dears!

I'm planning my first Moynat purchase for my 38th birthday this week. I have been to the store multiple times, service has been awesome but i can never make up my mind. Im in love with Gabrielle and Gaby in the small size (not the mini).
I'm a casual wearer (sneakers, jeans, neutrals kind of girl) and I have a quite large designer handbag collection (Hermes, Chanel, Celine, Loewe, Fendi...).
As I am getting older, I am more into minimalist looking, great craftmanship, no logo, neutral bags.
I want to use this bag, i dont want to put it on a shelf to admire it (that's where my Kelly is) but i also want a classic piece that will last forever and this may be my only Moynat bag since im really trying to downsize my collection instead of adding more into it lol

Attached pics I took wearing the Gabrielle PM. Unfortunately, i dont have any pics wearing a Gaby.
I think the Gabrielle is perfection, but as im a casual wearer i will probably use the Gaby more, but then i think i have so many bags that i can rotate and then i could get the gabrielle in palledium that looks more casual. One day i wake up saying im going to buy the gabrielle and another the gaby and its been already a year that i want a Moynat bag lol

Once i decide on which one to get, gabrielle or gaby, i need your extra help on the colour.

So to summarize, should i get...?

Gabrielle black gold hw
Gabrielle black palladium hw
Gaby black gold hw
Gaby black palladium hw
Gaby taupe gold hw (attached is with palladium since my store didnt have a gold hw one now, but i tend to prefer gold hw in this color combo)

Both bags in PM size because im quite fat so mini looks ridiculous on my frame lol

Appreciate all your opinions~

hiiii

1. u do NOT look fat.

honestly gabrielle looks like kelly to me

if u r a casual wearer, go for gaby?!

color n hardware decisions: OMG dont even start

 

[bambita]

ps: imo sometimes one cant see the silhouette of an unstructured black bag like gaby. i think taupe ghw looks very pretty. (altho the black gaby is also dropdead gorgeous especially when seen in person innit). i am torn between red n black mini gaby but i bought a polar pm gaby that i havnt been able to see/touch/carry yet due to pandemic n travel BS. one of the lovely ladies here helped me decide on a polar gaby n she looks different in different light. forever grateful to this forum with such kind-hearted peeps. if u like the color polar, imo it is the purrrrrtiest for its shape. good luck dear!

You're NOT fat and both the Gaby and Gabrielle look lovely and proportionate on you. Because you mentioned that you are more casual and your Kelly sit on a closet, I think a Gaby would suit you well. I have a taupe Gaby ghw and it is so very versatile. But whether you choose black or taupe, I'm sure that you will find it carefree and practical. Good luck!
