For those of you who are interested, Moynat NYC/Saks will be launching soon. Their inventory of new bags is trickling in.
I’m unsure what statistical info is out there, but I’ve heard (word of mouth), because of this launch Moynat is reaching the demographic they want, but I don’t know if that youth market is spending their money. Where Moynat has launched already, new to the brand youth are (supposedly) looking.

I've seen quite of few IG posts with Moynat's hashtags in Korean. I'm not connected to other E. Asian media, but I've seen Moynat featured in some Korean fashion magazines and on several Korean celebs.

The louder logos may speak to the younger demographic, but I think a lot of of the new Moynat customers are turning away from Chanel/LV, but find Hermes still unobtainable or not to their taste/preference for whatever reason.

I chose natural barenia for this SO. Although I have a preference for palladium hardware generally, I saw a photo of the Gaby BOC in natural barenia with GHW on The Bag Hag and thought it was such a great combo.

Your SO sounds amazing too, I've seen the enveloppe cardholder in peacock & taurillon leather at the store some time ago and it was my favourite out of all the other cardholder colours. It is also great that you were offered the same price for either hardware. I guess I placed my order just shortly before they made the price equal. But the excitement is real as this is also my first ever SO!

Oh, the natural barenia is such a good call!!! I only have a bit of that leather on my Danse PM, but it's such a lovely leather and it's surprisingly easy to handle since it doesn't get water stained. I saw a picture of a Barenia Cabotin on IG, but my SA couldn't find it. He thinks that might've been a SO as well.

I think the barenia is so nice for structured styles. I can't wait to see yours when it comes!!!!

I totally agree. The wonderful ladies here convinced me to buy a Rejane saddle in eggplant barenia during the legacy sale and I am so glad that I did! The leather is truly exceptional and it has become one of my favorite Ramesh-era pieces. I am also very excited to see this special bag when it is finished. It will be gorgeous!!!

@m220888 I just placed SO for Gabrielle BB in barenia with GHD. I cannot wait to get it in person.
The price is different bite GHD and PHD, just FYI.

That's so interesting! Are you both in the US? I'm located in the US and got my pricing in USD.

My SA sent me a screenshot of the email he got from Paris and it listed the available leather types and colors, then said "Gold or Palladium as per your client's preference." No mention of any price differences for the different kinds of leather or hardware - just the price and lead time at the bottom of the email.

After a week's careful consideration, I finally said yes to SO the Prussian Blue PM Gaby!
Please allow me to share my experience to thank for all your kind advice.

I started missing the Prussian blue a few days after the discussion here but I'm still unsure if I see it as the mere substitute of Peacock. As many of you have suggested, this particular colour is exceptionally difficult to be captured by any photos. So I went on with some research and found this YouTube video featuring the Prussian Blue Madeleine Strap (it's a very tempting bag too):


Videos capture a truer colour as your see how it changes under different lighting/angle and would be a useful reference if you are particular with colours :) The blue is livid, leaning more on the ocean side than green. It looks "quieter" under indoors lighting and plays a more lively key in sunlight.

The video reassured my worry of having an overly loud fresh blue but I didn't decide until seeing the swatch again in person, this time under the natural light outside the shop (smart tip from @m_ichele). And it's a YES! Another surprise in SO-ing a Moynat bag is the tailor-adjusted strap. I'm petite (158cm) and often find straps too long for me. I like carrying it over my shoulder and have the bag slightly above my hip level. Instead of punching 3 extra holes, My SA suggested shortening the total length so the tail wouldn't stick out as much.

The SO charges the same as a ready-made bag (around $4570 USD) in my home country so it's hard to say no. GHW and PHW charges the same and there's no extra cost in tailoring the length of the strap. It's expecting in 6-8months and weeeheee it's always exciting to have something to look forward to! The purchase just made my perfect day I was literally hopping out of the boutique in joy:happydance:!! Again, it's important that the bag is really something you want rather than a 2nd tier substitute (it's expensive dear!!). Thank you all for the collective wisdoms and I'll post photos on its arrival.

@konacoffee Congratulations! It's probably the last piece of SO in peacock worldwide (according to my SA)! Lucky you! Looking forward to photos on its arrival.

Thanks for sharing! I wonder if this change is across the board including SO. I'll try to check with my SA since I did choose gold hw for the SO and paid that extra bit more for it.

I asker my SA now and she confirmed that if i place a SO and choose gold hardware the price will be higher than if I choose palladium hw so your information seems accurate. No idea why though lol

Personally I think the Rejane is a nice addition since you already have the Gaby PM!! I suspect the Gaby BB in Emerald will be much easier to find or special order later down the line too.

Thank you! the only issue i find the Rejane PM heavier than the Gaby and i tend to prefer gold hw (it is also nearly double price in Shanghai than Gaby)...but i love the color and the leather...
