Thank you for the tip!

Sadly, I seem to have missed the sale. The Rejane clutch shows up under a 24S search but not at a discounted rate. I think they had an “Ultimate10” Promo going on a few weeks back but this no longer appears under the bag.

The code is now "ULTIMATESFIRST10" which is working on the US site. I'm not sure if it works in all countries though.

Major eye candy from my SA. Anyone have experience with Moynat’s exotic skin pieces? How is the quality compared to other brands?

I have the Rejane in natura lizard. I can only say wonderful things about the quality and workmanship! I have compared it to my H and Delvaux lizard SLGs. While the finish is different (M's is the most matte), the quality of the skin, symmetry of the scales etc. are on par with H, and I find the skin more supple - at least for lizard - than Delvaux's.

Sorry that my reply didn’t make it outside the quote box...

Thank you! This helps a lot.

@konacoffee: It worked!

Strange how it did not show up on my desktop but it worked on my phone. Thank you.

The current $1680 price is discounted significantly from the original price for the Rejane opera. For all of the "legacy" styles that were put on sale in Moynat boutiques, 24S reduced the price online without indicating that they are "on sale" or that they had a higher price previously. It is the same for the Josephines and other styles that are still remaining on 24S - they are not designated as being on sale, but the prices are significantly reduced. I think most of them are currently in the range of 40-50% off of the original US prices. You are correct though that there was an "Ultimate10" promo on 24S recently. I don't know how often those additional discounts are offered. Maybe they will have a similar offer soon?

As for the Gabrielle vs. Rejane clutches, I would go with whichever one you think you would love most in the long term even if you don't think you will use it a lot in the coming months. We will be back to normal at some point and I hope that will be sooner rather than later. This past year has taken so much fun out of our everyday lives that I decided to start using my beloved bags again recently whenever I go out. They are meant to be enjoyed! I am just very careful with how I handle them to make sure that they are not damaged by hand sanitizer, water, etc. Using them makes me happy!

@Rocat: Thank you for clarifying.

I am not in the US so the listed price comes to something like US$2,200, which confused me at first (but is still a very good price.)

And you are so right about enjoying our bags—your life (bag) philosophy rings particularly true during these challenging times

I am sure you will enjoy whichever clutch you choose for many years. They are both magnificent Ramesh era designs with outstanding craftsmanship. I think both styles could also work well for more casual outings during the day when you don't need to carry a lot with you. I have no regrets about any of my Ramesh pieces and I will probably try to get another one in a style that I don't currently have while they are still available. Sadly, the new designs are an easy pass for me.

Mini Rejane in natural calf/barenia.. smells heavenly

stunning!!!

Aaaaaaah! Both are beautiful- yet, slightly different. I like both, but probably the bag on the left a wee bit better. Happy shopping!

Probably no help at all! But I prefer the look and feel of the Taurillon Gex leather (plus the green is slightly darker in that leather and prefer PHW), whilst the Taurillon Blush leather feels like it might be slightly harder wearing to me. Like I said, no help, sorry!

hiii i ended up going for the emerald with ghw

i chose ghw coz green is a mix of yellow plus blue so i thut ghw looks better with emerald. touterelle phw was tempting too just coz i wondered if ghw wud look tooo dressy for my everyday lifestyle. green wit gold looks classic n is a good combo. green wit palladium wud be more edgy/modern. different people think differently of this though. its ur call.

honestly though its so hard to decide ghw or phw. i understand ur pain. depends on wat u prefer. happy deciding and enjoying ur purchase

[ps: i spent several days trying to decide between a black gaby bb (ghw or phw) or a red gaby bb (ghw or phw)...or a danse pm. was soooo hard to decide under time pressure that i decided to put off buying for 6 months til i visit a moynat flagship store again . so im not fit to give u any advice. ]

I am traditionally a PHW girl all the way but my eye is more drawn to the ghw in this case. I think it's the tone of the green with the ghw that goes really well together.

But either are beautiful!

Hi I wear lots of navy blue so it does go with emerald. And when I wear jewelry, it's gold more often than palladium so ghw does work for me. I dont carry baby Rejane as often as I wud like to. This is mainly due to the pandemic. Please do update after your purchase what you picked. Congratulations on your first M.

Thank you so much for all the suggestions. I ended up with Gex and PHW!!

The reason I went for that bag its cause the SA told me there is an option to change the lock for renewal down the road if I want, though it is not common for clients to change colors of the hardware, but it should be possible!!
I therefore went for the Palladium lock, which is more younger looking, and perhaps changing to the gold one 5/10 years down the road when I feel like it!

Personally I like the smaller grain leather on small bags, but after some comparison, I feel the Gex leather gives a more rounded feeling to the bag vs the Blush leather, but both are lovely! I also find the Emerald in Gex has a more neutral green and a bit darker too!

I am really enjoying the bag! Thanks for all the support and tips! I love this forum and everyone here!

If anyone has the Gabrielle clutch would you mind showing a picture of how much it holds?
sorry if this has been asked. I don’t see it if so.
Thanks

I dropped by the store today and was told that the legacy sale ends on Friday. I don't have much left on my list since I got most of them already, but if you did have something left now is the time to get it.

I ended up getting the Quattro in the end, though that was not part of the legacy offerings. It worked out well since when the Celine bag I was going to pick up was slightly damaged and I ended up not keeping it. I guess things end up working out somehow.

 

[konacoffee]

Here's a picture of my new Quattro in Black & Taupe. I also picked up a marquetry charm too.

Unfortunately I got the charm embossed and it came out pretty messy and off center. I thought about asking them to redo it, but this was the last charm of its kind in store and I didn't really want to damage the item further. I think once the foil wears off I'll leave it as a blind stamp.

Congrats on your new Quattro and charm! Both are beautiful!

Have you thought about a Rejane clutch? I have one in peacock with palladium hardware and love it (along with every Rejane variation that Ramesh designed!) It has a really unique shape and its simple elegance works well for both day and evening in my opinion. I am happy to post photos if you are interested.

Thanks dear, eye candy is always welcome !!im really not a clutch kind of girl and due to covid i missed all the family celebrations (wedding, baptism) because i live in Shanghai while all my family is in Barcelona I bought a small Lady Dior for the wedding of my cousin and i could never attend...but at least i have a pretty bag hahaha

Thank you!

The Reporter feels like a dynamic little sister to the Gabrielle family. I am still contemplating the Clutch but it seems to lack that carefree aspect of the Reporter. (Maybe the top handle throws me off?)

Fingers crossed they approve your SO!

They have said no to my Gabrielle Reporter SO
Wondering if I should get a Gabrielle clutch instead ...

Hi I have the Gabrielle clutch and use it mainly for lunch/dinner outings where all I really ever need to bring along is a few cards, my mobile phone, car keys and a pack of tissues. It's great because if the seating space is small, I don't have to worry too much about where I can place the bag than if I carried out a bigger bag.

Since I have to use my phone to take the photos, I have substituted my regular small pack of tissues with a large one to represent the space where my phone would normally take up.

In all, I've managed to fit in the large pack of tissues, a pack of wet wipes, 1 lip gloss, 1 lipstick, 1 small cardholder and a bigger cardholder with a zipper compartment and 5 card slots. If you have larger sized items that are hard, closing the clutch might be an issue even if everything can fit inside. From the photo, the clutch looks stuffed but there is no problem with closing it up because the tissue pack is soft. The closure is fine and the side edges are not distorted. With this clutch, the depth space is limited. For hard items, I think 3 mobile phones would be just about right. I have ever carried a kindle, my mobile and a power bank around the same size as the phone and it could all fit inside just fine but anymore than that would be a squeeze.
