Official MOYNAT Thread

[suhjinoc]

During the legacy sales, a lot of stores would refuse to transfer stock so they could keep things available for their own clients. I know my SA reached out to several stores before about transferring some items, but a lot of them refused the transfer.

My SA will reach out to any store, but it's up to the other boutique to accept the transfer and go through with it. My local SA can only ask.

However, I did reach out to some international stores directly that were willing to ship to me. The UK store in Selfridges sent my my Danse MM and the Paris flagship sent me my Danse PM. I got both at incredible prices since UK/EU prices are cheaper than US prices and they were both in the legacy offering. The NY boutique also offered to ship directly to me, but I ultimately decided against the Purple Danse PM since I had already ordered by green MM.

Only if I knew EU would ship things to me at with their prices!!! I hope they do not change that policy for a while hehe.
My intro/ question post got pushed back, so I am asking here again lol. do you know how many bags they make per special color? I know black, toupe, and grey-beige are the classic colors, and the rest is seasonal/ limited. My SA told me Moynat makes only 20ish bags worldwide per each color.. is that really true? Thank you!

Finally caught up with this thread -- I'm somewhat drawn to the Fiori since my style is pretty casual, but I get the LV vibes some people have mentioned and I am rather conflicted about that. I was never a fan of LV partly because of the non-subtle branding, and while I like the thicker strap, having the brand plastered all over is... not what I go for. If it were a bit more subtle, as in the Prada Re-Edition strap (I didn't notice my strap had "Prada" all over until I saw a discussion about it going away in later versions), I'd be ok with it, but I prefer to not buy a bag knowing I'll want to get a replacement for an accessory off the bat.

The tourterelle one looks really nice, and I now know that my next Moynat bag will be in this color. I was chatting with my local store's SA and it seems like the Rejane in the 23cm will be going away eventually, so I'll need to make a trip to the store eventually to warm myself up to one of the sizes that sandwich it. I'm looking forward to the weather warming up so I can live my life, use the bags I have, and have a better sense of what actually works for my lifestyle At least this color will be around for a while!

Oh no! The Réjane pm is going away eventually?! That tells me the Nano is probably going to stay and be their ‘classic’ that will cater to the youth market. The 23cm is a wonderful size. My stomach is turning. Bulkier hardware on the Gaby, the ghosting of the Réjane pm ... I feel marginalized.

Where is your boutique at? My SA last weekend told me MM might go away, but PM should stay..? anyways... better safe to get those PM now then...
actually, i kinda do like Flori too.. they grew in me faster than I expected, yet i wish the front lock is simpler..

Yeah...I heard this somewhere on this thread, but it was a pretty old conversation. Back when the NY Saks boutique opened. (I went digging when I first got into the brand).

I mean, the nano is cute, but it is an extremely impractical bag. You can't even use it as a WOC. As a novelty item, it was fine - but I really can't imagine it replacing an actual functional and signature style/size like the Rejane PM.

I like the Fiori’s shape, I just don’t like the wide strap and lock. Many people have complained about that style of locking closure on the LV Pochette Metis because it scratches around the hole easily and after a while it sometimes rests crooked. I wish Moynat had used the Gabrielle ‘M’ closure and narrow straps- the Fiori would’ve given me the Gabrielle Reporter vibes. I loved that bag.
It‘s my understanding Moynat has thought about discontinuing the Réjane mm, just like they ended the Gaby mm.

Re: the Gaby MM, for everyone's information, there are still some on the 24S website---and it clearly says that this website is the only place one can find this size Gaby. Guessing that once they are sold out from them, they will be completely gone...

I'm in NYC. I believe the BB is 20cm and PM is 26cm, so PM is safe 23cm never had a corresponding letter size, but it was my preferred size because the BB felt a little tight when it came to fitting my essentials, but the PM was rather bulky crossbody. I was hoping they'd add it as a permanent size (and in a single color, because almost* every 23cm released had at least two colors), but I guess that's not happening now.

If the Fiori had the Loulou lock, I'd be all over it tbh! That lock was pretty distinct and easy to use.

*edited to add modifier because the black constellation Rejane was a 23cm, but it came out before I knew about the brand :'(

I remember a while back in this thread there was the sentiment that Moynat could expand their range of bags to be more practical/everyday. I'm still on board with that, hope to see more tote styles other than the current quattro and coated canvas totes. The quattro is sleek and elegant but I would love the addition of inner pockets for my phone and smaller items.

I'm keen to see the Voyage irl when it comes out. Kinda like the vintage-y lock.

Thank you! That’s right. The 23 was just called the 23.

I agree about the Quattro. That interior pocket would’ve made a wonderful exterior pocket when turned inside out.

What a great idea!!!

Oh my!!!!!!! You pay a premium (and more) in Shanghai!!!!

yes, im used to it after 6 years living here, thats why i become Shopzilla when i go back home lol and that is why so many Asians go shopping to EU haha

It’s been done before. I know bags from Japan have been shipped to the US stores.

Thank you everyone for your input! I managed to find a US store that would order bags from other regions. They will have to ship it to me in a third country, but at least this is a runaround...

I pulled the gun on a Madeline strap in Peacock and Woodrose with GHW today. They require a full deposit and the transfer request will be handled by Paris. Just waiting to see if the Asian boutique will be willing to send the bag, so fingers crossed!

BTW, my lovely SA says that the marquetry macarons will continue to be made. As well, there has been some talk that the Madeline will continue to be made as a classic item, but my SA will confirm.

He also said that customers can SO discontinued classic items at a 20% premium. (I think I read this somewhere on this thread too.) If an item is not from a long time ago, the workshops will likely still have the materials but the SO needs to be approved by Paris. Sounds promising, but at 20% premium it makes sense to snap up discontinued pieces if you find a colour you want and they are still available.

All this work to track down older Moynat pieces is beginning to make me feel like I am trying to attain an Hermes!

Yes, my SA told me exactly the same about SO too.
