I did it. I just bought the dark green and gold Gaby that was on TRR.

This is my first time buying Moynat pre-owned. Are there any tips for authenticating? I'm not sure if there are super fakes floating around, though I have seen fake Gaby's online.

Congratulations! It is a stunning bag. I am not sure about the best approach for authenticating, but I think the RealReal authenticates all of their designer bags before listing them for sale. I am sure that they would let you return the bag for a full refund if you found out that it was fake. I have a lavender Gaby in the same size and I love using it - Ramesh perfection!

Thank you~! A lavendar Gaby sounds lovely. :heart: It truly is such a great and versatile bag.

TRR has a spotty track record when it comes to authenticating luxe bags (Here is a Forbes article that talks about it a bit.), so I'm a bit wary of TRR. However, this was simply too good to pass up. The dark green and the gold were the specs I was going ask my SA to special order for me. Honestly, I'll probably just compare the details to my Polar Gaby and if it seems off, send it back. While the shape can be faked, I'm sure reps will cheap out on the leather or some other detail.

Let me know if you find any tips on authenticating M pieces. I'm eyeing a bag on TRR too.. but at this rate might have to go through scents to authenticate. I've seen rep photos of Celine and Dior next to the real bags and couldn't tell a difference, down to the stich count. :shocked:

Huh, I didn't really like the Voyage bag in blue, but this one in the beige/taupe color is kinda growing on me.

My knee-jerk reaction was "oh no", but we'll see I guess. As long as the quality remains the same and they don't get rid of the Gaby/Gabrielle line, I'll probably still be interested in the brand.

What are ya'll's thoughts on the use of different logos/slogans? The sans-serif "MOYNAT" and the medallion logo and the "M" monogram. Has anyone see the "M" logo that's on their belts in their bags at all? (pic below). A different bag group I'm in has criticized Valentino and Christian Dior for changing their logos often and stated it "dates" their pieces. Moynat wasn't a brand that relied on logos before, but now that it looks like it's going that direction, I think it'd be interesting to share our thoughts on the logos now

The belt M is a larger version of the detail on the luggage tags from Pauline bags in the original Ramesh collection.

Some additional photos... from Asia... the magnetic hardware and "tab" on the Voyage (my favorite so far of the new collection) appear more obtrusive in the lighter colors.

I wish the hardware on the handbags in the first photo was a bit more nuanced.

Has anyone heard from Ramesh?

That first one silouhette kinda reminds me of the Roger Vivier Viv bag that’s been around for awhile (please ignore that it’s black, M. Vivier didn’t get the memo). I like the Viv better:

Re: the difference between the old logo and new---would anyone here be kind enough to post photos? As I am no where near a boutique, I would like to see the differences! Thank you in advance!

Hi dear! i went to the store last Friday and took some logo pictures.
The firs photo is the old logo, simple Moynat lettering very similar to Hermes. I personally love this logo.
The new one is the 2nd picture, all capital lettering. I think it looks a bit cheap.

Hello dears, so this is my update.

Last Friday was my birthday and i had a wonderful morning and lunch with friends. I planned to go to Moynat to pick up my new bag in the afternoon, but when i was about to pay, i found out my bank had issued a new card which i never received and my old card which i had on hand was invalid. I tried to pay using a 3rd party, Alipay, since I live in Shanghai, but there is a daily limit so i couldnt make the full purchase and after talking all afternoon to the online banking guy who was useless, i had to leave empty handed. I could only pay a deposit and my bag is now all wrapped up waiting for me (1st pic). I could only do a bank transfer, but due to weekend I had to wait for the bank to issue it today Monday. I admit not being able to grab my bag on the day of my birthday was bitter sweet.

However, this experience made me realise how AWESOME Moynat customer service is. They offered me drinks, they talked to my bank, they kept telling me not to worry, they gave me their bank account so i could do a transfer and before i left empty handed, the SA (which is not my SA because she was on leave), wrote me a Moynat birthday card so I could have a good memory. So after this experience, I can tell you this will not be my last Moynat purchase. I talked to several people in the store, and they are all super sweet and accommodating in an authentic way, nothing fake.

In order to add more mistery, I will not tell you yet what bag i finally chose, but i will share some eye candy of me trying out bags in the store lol.
Hope any day this week i can post a pic with my new first Moynat.

Looks like the new bags have been launched in Asia. Found two more styles on Chinese social media... Not sure about reposting rules so erring on the side of caution. But there is a bucket bag and another top handle bag that would fit right in LV. The structure and style of the top handle bag reminds me of the Suhali line in Kelly form but with fewer embellishments. The bucket bag is all leather with a magnetic closure on top. There are no handles, just a strap. It reminds me of the Mulberry Iris style in bucket form.

The Launer/Celine baby comes in box, which does elevate the style. That said, still not sure I'm convinced.

I may need to hunt down the green barenia Rejane I saw last year as a last hurrah now...

Happy belated birthday! I’m sorry it didn’t work out as planned but on the bright side, you get to celebrate your birthday a little longer :smile: Can’t wait to see your birthday bag and yes, Moynat customer service is excellent!
