Thank you for the pics! This really helps.
The Danse is a lovely balance of slouch and elegance. It looks like the grey changes colour depending on the light. Do you know if the bag you saw was the Zinc or a different grey colour way?

Thanks for the detailed description! (I did not see this reply before I posted my last question, so please disregard the previous post.)
Thanks again for all your help!
My SA confirmed it is the zinc. Lovely grey. It may change color indoors but it is a very true dove grey. It is a super roomy bag. Reminds me to a style that Givenchy used to produce. Cant remember the name now lol
No worries. Im in my lunch break. Happy to help lol if i hadnt fallen in love with the gaby in emerald i would have this Danse in my wishlist. Too many bags in my wishlist. I got 4 for my birthday (3 Moynat and my first vintage Chanel). I have to admit that i have sold 9 bags which didnt work for my lifestyle anymore before that, but i wonder if i will ever reach purse peace. So far it seems not lol
Hello ladies! I'm new to the forum and have just created an account after browsing the previous 200+ pages of this thread. Totally enchanted by the magic of Moynat. I've fallen in the rabbit hole at my first sight with the emerald Rejane from the boutique window. And the vibe here is truly heartwarming!!
It's sad to see the house's trying to replace some of the Ramesh's classy designs with the new, "younger looking" ones. I really feel need to hurry my pace to buy my first piece before they extinguish. I got lit up by Gaby with its timeless yet relaxed design literally admired her for a few times in the boutique. I'm a colour person and yearning to have a dream colour in my first purchase.
I've been drooling over @m_ichele 's peacock Gaby and attempted to SO one (sorry for the clash but it's really a stunning pick of gem!!
). Sadly, my local SA told me all the peacock in the atelier goes to the manufacturing of the new Voyager
. My another choice would be Prussian Blue which I'm now struggling if it's a wise pick. I thinking to SO in PM size with GHW.
Some photos for your reference from my SA (BB Gaby in Prussian Blue):
The Peacock Voyager:
Swatches taken in the shop: (Top - peach. Left - Peacock. Right - Prussian blue)
I mostly wear casual earth tone in jeans and sometimes floral prints. Colour transfer is not a problem for the Blue base. Prussian blue is close to my beloved peacock but in a more vibrant and less greenish shade. It's a lively colour but I'm not sure it looks as classy and subtle as the peacock. Has anyone got any Moynat pieces in this shade that you can share your view?
Girls should I go for the Prussian blue PM Gaby with GHW or pass and patiently wait for the miraculous come-back for peacock ? Thanks in advance!!

I totally hear you. Bag peace seems elusive at present.
I am usually an intentional shopper and only buy bags after much consideration. However, the recent designer switch in my two favourite bag brands—Moynat and Delveaux—has launched Operation FOMO Moynat.
Just pulled the trigger on a Madeline in Peacock and Wood Rose. And like you, I am hunting for those remaining elusive Ramesh pieces on the internet.
You are lucky to be in Shanghai as there seems to be more legacy stock in China. From what I understand, Moynat Paris has a policy that stock transfers between the US and Asia cannot be from the mainland. So my SA says I am limited to whatever’s available in HK, Taiwan, Japan, Singapore and Korea.
It’s amazing that you scored a Gabrielle reporter in black... I had been stalking one in blue but it sold
Happy to help! My Cabotine is also a red. It’s absolutely lovely and a great pop of colour for outfits. (Like you, l prefer neutrals but opted for the Cabotine in red because it looked more fun and feminine.)
My bag is in storage now, but I will try to pull it out and send you mod pictures when I get a chance to go to the locker.
BTW, I was asking my SA about the larger Cabotin and my SA mentioned there is still a Paprika available in the smaller Cabotine. It’s a bit more orange but still quite lovely. (See pic below)
Pandora. Great bag but more boho, less chic than Danse.

Welcome to the magical wonderland of Moynat!
I too, debated between Peacock and Prussian Blue. From what I understand, the Prussian Blue does not change colour tones as much as the Peacock, so if you want a true blue bag, go with the Prussian.
The beauty of the Peacock lies in its ability to take on different tones from its surroundings. Depending on the light, the Peacock can look like hunter green, navy, teal, even a deep marine grey. It’s very sophisticated but ultimately I find the leather to be more green than blue in natural sunlight.
If the colour-changing aspect is what draws you to the Peacock, I would hold out. Or: ask your SA if you can SO the Gaby in peacock, but in a leather that is not reserved for the Voyager? (Assuming you are fine with a different leather, that is.)

Hello, welcome to the forum.
I thought I'd put in some of my thoughts with the Purssian blue vs Peacock Gaby SO. I have the Josephine in Polar/Purssian combo. As another member pointed out that Purssian blue does not change color as much as Peacock. I have included pictures both indoor and outdoor of my Josephine for you to see. I have a Gaby pm in Polar and I love the color so much that I wanted a different style bag in the same color for different use. Polar changes its color tone under different lights. If you prefer darker green such as the Peacock, I would probably hold off on SO in Purssian blue. After all, we should always feel the most joy whenever we carry a beautiful item in our hands instead of always wishing it to be something else. All of my Moynat bags spark joy whenever I get to use them.
Hope this helps.

Welcome @cut_andpaste! From your post, it seems you really love peacock which I completely understand! Since you’re unsure about Prussian blue, maybe hold off on SO for now? The pictures of Prussian blue gaby pm you shared are beautiful but these colors are so hard to photograph, it would be best to see in person. I didn’t decide on peacock until I saw the swatch in person and in natural light. Since you wear a lot of neutral colors, Prussian blue would be a great complement to your outfits, but I just don’t sense your enthusiasm for it as much as your beloved peacock. Good luck with your decision but I do hope your peacock bag finds you!Hello ladies! I'm new to the forum and have just created an account after browsing the previous 200+ pages of this thread.

I received a very kind message from Ramesh today. Details to come- I have to go run errands, but I will let those of you who are interested in what he wrote to me know what he said in a few hours. Please message me if you’d like to know.

A little note- Moynat still has a footprint in NYC, and it’s unsure that they are closed permanently.

Welcome @cut_andpaste ! Im a newbie to this thread too and the ladies/gents in here are very kind and super helpful. I totally agree with @m_ichele comment here. It seems you are in love with the peacock and the prussian blue not as much. The SO order is pretty expensive so get whatever you are 100% sure you love or else i would think about it more and wait a bit.
I have a gaby pm in black and i love the style so much that i added a gaby bb in emerald and gold hw in my wishlist lol love the style because im a casual wearer and i only wear neutrals. The prussian blue would pair perfectly with jeans and the gold hw makes it even more special so id definetely would go for it if you ask me. I think if you are like me, this will not be your last Moynat purchase lol
