Hi guys! I've been reading this thread for a long time and just wanted to say hi and thank you for sharing news, photos and mod shots - so many useful information. Like many of you I've fallen in love with original Ramesh designs, so waiting for the local shop to open after lockdown to try on Gabys :heart:

BTW if someone's interested in Joséphine they still have a few on 24s.com with a discount and currently there's additional 10% off with ULTIMATESFIRST10 code. For some reason Js don't show up on the brand page, only when you search for them.

Oh my, thank you! Time to browse...

Thank you for the kind words :heart: I can feel your spilling joy over your SO even after this long. Envious!! You can see through my mind lol To your knowledge has the leather ever come back later?

I’m fairly new to Moynat and only discovered it about 2-3 years ago but from what I recall, peacock taurillon blush leather been used for Gaby MM, Quattro, and most recently Voyager. From what I was told when I did my SO, only a designated leather is used for a particular style so for gaby, only taurillon blush is used so you’re limited to the colors they have on hand in that leather. If peacock was available in carat, you can’t request it in that leather because they don’t use that leather for gaby. This was when Ramesh was CD so who knows if that will change with the new one. Oh! And Madeline strap came in peacock recently but that’s carat and it’s called paon I think. Im sure someone else with more knowledge can correct me and chime in.

That is awful! It is too bad that they cancelled it after making you wait. Fingers crossed that this was just a mix up and the seller will be able to rectify matters or provide a plausible explanation.

And if not... there is always the Cabotine. :smile:

BTW, have you ever tried ordering anything from Repzle? They look to be a Korean reseller site. I can’t read Korean but they have this deep red Cabotine which is to die for...

Moynat Cabotine백 802019 12cm

Unfortunately, that's almost certainly a rep. 440,000 won comes out to roughly 390 USD. Even pre-owned, that's not an appropriate price for any Moynat bag. :sad:

@Yinglin I think 24s had the Cabotine in a brighter red the last time I checked! That might be a better bet (or maybe even contacting Moynat Paris directly?)

I think you are probably right, konacoffee. To be honest, I didn’t run the numbers on the Korean resale site. Was distracted by the lovely deep red bag :)

@Yinglin: The 24S site also has an additional 10% off on the bright red Cabotine now. I think another member mentioned this morning that the Josephine only shows up if you do a search for Moynat—this appears to be the case for the Cabotine too. My bag is similar (if not the same) as the red listed on 24S. If you like the red, I highly recommend the shade as it is a great all-season colour.

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!!:tup:). Sadly, my local SA told me all the peacock in the atelier goes to the manufacturing of the new Voyager:sick:. 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):

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!!

My Rejane is in peacock and I absolutely love the colour. This colour is very affected by light and can go from a dark green to a teal to a greyish blue. It is very saturated, quite dark and goes well with most neutrals.
I have not seen prussian blue but it looks much much more blue than peacock. I would wait for peacock to come back or do an SO if possible.

The new Moynat website is up!

It looks like they are still offering the Rejane, Gabrielle and Gaby. However, there are no other legacy styles listed online :(

Interestingly, the Gabrielle and Gaby are offered through their online store but do not get their own listing under the “Icons” drop-down menu. Wonder if this is simply an oversight, or a sign of things to come?

Also, can a brand new bag design be considered an “Icon” if it has not been tested on the market and proved to be loved by fans?

The site shows a new canvas camera bag that was previously not revealed (if it was, I missed it). See pic below.

There is also a special order section on the new site, but it focuses on trunks and novelty items. This may be just to bring up the brand’s heritage and craftsmanship, and hopefully not indicative that future SO will be limited to non-bag items.

All in all, no great surprises here but some (possibly) worrying signs of further changes.

I did a test checkout and it seems like shipping from the website is still Europe only. I assume this will change in the future though.

Interesting how some styles require an email to purchase. I assume that they will either connect you to a store with stock or email you once the warehouse has stock.

But is it just me or does the website seem very basic and borderline dated? The HTML/CSS page looks pretty simple, almost as if they bought a template and just swapped out some photos/text. Also, I'm somewhat surprised they're using Shopify for their checkout instead of creating their own checkout pages/system. Not sure if this is a positive or negative, but I will say I associate Shopify with much younger, (startup) brands more than I do luxe or heritage brands.

I'm just nitpicking here, but some of the English phrasing is a bit off to me. Like under "Product Care" it says, "Please do not hesitate to..." or "...these marks are proof of the authenticity of the skins used." I mean, it's not grammatically incorrect, sure. But it is a strange way to phrase care instructions. And "authenticity of the skins"? Am I just being too nitpicky when I say that "authenticity" is a very strange word to use as opposed to "quality" or "enhance the natural beauty of..."? It almost makes me feel like they're saying, "This is definitely real leather. *wink wink, nudge nudge*"

I know Moynat is a French brand, but they have enough of a presence to hire some decent English copywriters. And maybe I'm overreacting here, but honestly speaking - if the website was my first exposure to Moynat I don't think I'd be interested. It's a clean UI and easy to navigate, I'll give it that. But it doesn't seem to fit for a luxury brand.

I noticed that too! I guess now we know that the 6 new styles are here to stay, and I'm not angry about that. It doesn't appeal to me personally, but I understand a new creative director means new styles.

I am really confused by the exclusion of the Gaby and Gabrielle from the "Icons" lineup. Those are some of Moynat's best-selling bags....

My SA just told me that SO and personalization is currently only available through the boutiques. So that might be why some bags require e-mail addresses to purchase? Did you notice if this requirement was only for legacy styles, or a mix?

Looks like SO for bags is still an option. Thank goodness, as my Operation FOMO Moynat is still missing key pieces! :)

Seems like a mix. The camera bag and black Flori asks for email as well, so I suspect it's more of a stock issue than one of personalization or SO's.

Yes, I'm quite happy I have an SA who will work with me to get legacy styles/SO's. I'm just seeing how things go for now, though I will probably add another Gaby to my collection this year.
