+1 on Barenia, and another thing to consider - the reason that Barenia bags were so rare during Ramesh's tenure is that he was incredibly picky about skins and would reject more than half of those presented as candidates. Based on what I have seen from new collection I do not expect that level of quality discernment from Knightly.

So a Ramesn-approved Barenia bag would be that much better. Just sayin.
 
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.
Interesting. I wonder if the target demographic has finally discovered Moynat and can be converted to long-term customers or if it's because Moynat did a "relaunch" and the target demographic is looking to have the latest thing because other brands aren't as exclusive anymore.
 
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.
Yes I’m based in US.

... and I’m wondering if the newbies are looking at Moynat because it’s too difficult to get the latest LV and a Chanel ’It’ bags.

I suspect I am part of Moynat's new target demographic based on my age and previous spending patterns.

Personally I switched to Moynat because I had too many disappointing experiences at Chanel and the price were just ridiculous given the poor quality of their bags and customer service. I'm also not that into Chanel's bags anymore. One CF is enough (maybe more than enough?) for me.

As for LV, I was never into their monogram prints. I do like the durability and carefree nature of coated canvas, but I've turned to smaller brands like Liberty London for that stuff. I'll still buy LV if I see a bag/SLG I really like, but I definitely try to see if I can get that shape/material from a different brand before heading to LV.

To begin with, I wasn't into loud branding. However, when I first started buying luxe, I saw a lot of videos advising me about the "investment value" of LV/Chanel so I thought those were the better brands to buy. These days I just buy what I want without planning on selling and actually think about it before plopping down my card.

I'm not into the Birkin or Kelly, but I do like some of Hermes's stuff (mostly the Lindy and the Victoria). Somehow, it didn't occur to me I could actually buy Hermes wanting to get a B or K. I actually chanced on Moynat when I was looking for the perfect dusty pink bag. Saw this cutie online, but was wary of ordering from a brand and in a model I've never seen in person so I dropped by the store to see if I could buy it directly from Moynat (especially because it was pre-owned, from a foreign country and no returns possible).

After seeing Moynat's quality in person and having a great CS, other brands don't interest me as much. I still like some other brands, Moynat has something for almost all my needs so it's replaced most of my collection.

...well that was a trip down memory lane for me. lmao.

you are killing me! lol
 
I have to say i'm super thankful to this thread. You are all really helpful :-) I will need more time to think about the barenia rejane or the gaby bb...ohh gosh the rejane price is killing me and the emerald green is sooo pretty. I don't have green coloured bags in my collection, but I do have cognac/tan color, but that barenia is soo delicious...decision, decisions...

Honestly if this is how you're feeling then I might recommend the green gaby instead. I stand by my opinion that the barenia Rejane is the more special and exclusive bag. But it's only worth that CNY 46100 if *you* really love it that much. Have you considered the Emerald Green & Gold Rejane at all or would you only like the Gaby for now?

Anyways, if you follow your heart then you won't regret it. Yes, sometimes you got to consider the exclusivity/specialness of the bag, but at the end of the day it's just a bag. It has to work and function for your lifestyle. :)

(...my vote is still for the rejane though.)
