Totally agree. This is disappointing to say the least and I hate the logo strap on #3. Why did they let Ramesh go? His taste is impeccable.

Agreed. I hate the logo strap. It's like... "Well MCM did well with this closure. And dior did well with logo straps. Let's put them together and be doubly successful"

The monogram hat box is definitely not it.

Yikes.

#1 is a bondage hatbox - why? And how do I get in?
#2 is a less interesting version of the Celine knockoff of the Kelly (which is itself already terribly boring).
#3 - What??????????

:lol:1. Bondage hatbox!!!! :lol: I almost choked on food with that response. It looks very LV. I need to shake the look of #1 when I think about the new look of their stores.:whut::wtf:
2. Definitely Celine-like. A little Launer, too. I could see the Queen carrying it.
3. Looks like the Lou and the 2017 LV flap bag with a rubbery wrapped chain top handle (the name escapes me) had a baby. I’m disappointed. Wide straps are not for everyone and that peach strap screams ‘Moynat.’

Okay. I’m still team Moynat, but this is looking a little rough for me. Don’t get me wrong- the bags are lovely and I’m sure they make someone’s heart beat fast, but not mine at this point. I can’t wait to see the other bags.

By the way- is the closure (clasp) on #3 like the closure on LV’s Pochette Metis?

The Moynat store at the dubai mall was empty while a few steps ahead across it was LV n it was jam packed with people welcomed by velvet rope barriers at their entrance doors. That Moynat wont turn into LV was my first thought. Very disappointed indeed. Gonna hurry n get those Ramesh pieces soon before they will be gone. :oh::oh::oh: Oh dear!

I read the article. Here are my thoughts on what I read.
I know I’m a marketing dinosaur, but ‘THE YOUTH MARKET!!!!!!!’ :tdown: Nooooooooooooooo!!!!! :crybaby: I want class. I want timeless! If I wanted youthful and a bag for life ‘on the move,’ I would buy LV or MK.
Who asked for the change?!?!?!:mad:
The workshop is larger. The company had only a handful of hand-sewing artisans up until 2020. In the article I see sewing machines!!!!!:wtf: I suppose I should appreciate that they have their own factory, unlike Chanel.
Okay. So, the more I look at the Queen Elizabeth bag, the more it grows on me. But, it’s looks like it might not be old-world produced. :crybaby:
I feel like Moynat is looking like another LVMH company. :annoyed:

Sneak peaks off of wwd website.

I like the blue bag. Undecided about the others. I don't particularly like the clasp on the peach one but like other aspects of it.

I also like the blue bag so far and I’ve been on a top handle kick and have been on the look out for a blue one. I like that this bag has ghw and the Moynat engraving on the lock is pretty. I need to see in person to have a more definitive opinion. I’d like the bondage hat box without the straps and the peach bag is just ok. Not a fan of the strap though. After all this waiting, this is pretty anticlimactic.

I feel the same way. I am so sad to see this. I really hope that Ramesh will make bags again. Anything he does will be superb. The RealReal has some very nice Ramesh-era cabotins, a Danse, and a Gaby right now for anyone who is interested. On a separate note, I am really loving my Peter Nitz Lorin bag. He is wonderful to work with and the quality is amazing. I am going to have him make another bag for me soon.

Connecting the dots a bit for me:
1) M. Arnault has coveted Hermès for, like, forever, and can't have it. The Moynat relaunch 10 years ago was a gambit to make his own mini-Hermès.
2) M. Arnault is now >70 and he is transferring power to his sons.
3) Sons are catering to contemporary "luxury" trends (i.e. youth market)
4) The bag powerhouse of LVMH is LV, and if you're going to sell handbags to kids then clone a few of their >600 models (and I will spare you all another post of that literally killer, as in it will kill you if you look at it, VHS bag)
5) The filler in the WWD piece about "color" and taking a stand against black bags is rubbish and just a distraction from being without new ideas for how women need a handbag to carry stuff. If you can't even design a black bag then go away.
