I had to look up the color Glycine. Ooooo! That’s pretty.Thank you, @Rocat! You can't go wrong with multiple colorful Kellys! And the glycine as a neutral is so beautiful!
Thank you! My husband figured out a long time ago that giving me bags as gifts for special occasions always works. I just have to drop him some not so subtle hints about the particular styles and colors that I am interested in at the moment - LOL!I had to look up the color Glycine. Ooooo! That’s pretty.
Debbie Downer here, again - love to hear of anyone's Kelly score! But before Ramesh left would be talking about that here??
Just sayin.
Just sayin.
Thank you @Sourisbrune! I did post in my thread Gris Etain Kelly---yes or no? I had heard from my SA earlier in the week that she was reserving it for me so had asked for others' opinions---and in that thread is a photo of my new Kelly along with my black/white Dalmatian Kelly for comparison.
What a wonderful gift!
Yes, I remember now. I had forgotten it was your thread. Congrats!
My Jyspiere is Gris Etain and I get so many compliments on it.
I really want to like the new bags too. I would much prefer to get a Moynat bag over a Kelly but I just don't know what to do. I need a lady bag with a top handle and my little Gabby is too small, so the Voyage seems like the perfect bag.
Hi everyone, need to ask since I don’t have Moynat store close to me, has anyone saw this Gabrielle BB in Poudre? What color is it? It looks white or off-white in the picture. Any help would be appreciate.
I also want to know! I’m interested in this color but not sure if it’s more beige, pink, or white in person.
If you are familiar with Hermès colours I would say it is close to Craie. It’s a very very light cream or better said white with a cream touch. No grey, no pink undertone. Pretty neutral, slightly leaning warm (at least the way I perceived it). A very classy and versatile colour. Sorry I do not own it but looked at it several times in the store (and outdoor lighting).
Thank you for your insight! As much I really love the color, sadly I don’t think I can handle white color (can’t imagine if it got color transfer) looks like I’ll stick to tourterelle.
Finally getting to report on my visit with Curtis at Saks to see the new bags.
They have them in a separate room on the 2nd floor where he goes over everything with you. He had a very nice presentation of the new bags (also some of the older Ramesh models on display, like the Gabrielle and the Rejane in exotics, also a beautiful red croc mini-vanity). I was surprised that the models seem to only come in one size for the moment. So if you like that size and the bag you are in luck!
Overall, I thought the fabrication on the bags was OK. A few wavy stitches here and there but probably not enough though to nix them. The designs to me, however, were meh and uninspiring. The round wheel bag with the Moynat print is cute but doesn't hold a cell phone. It also doesn't open very far so might be hard to get things in and out of it (this was done so that if you opened it while you were wearing it things wouldn't fall out.) The rectangular trunk version holds more but isn't as interesting.
To me, the nicest bag was the little bucket bag. It is quite small but at least the round Moynat button isn't that intrusive. I wouldn't buy it but to me it was the most well-thought out piece.
Curtis assured me that the leathers would continue to be of the highest quality and the pieces made in France by hand. Also SO's were always a possibility. That was good to hear. He told me that he was passing on feedback to management about what people liked and didn't so hopefully they are listening!
If you are in the NYC area I'd suggest you check in about these. Or if you are in So. Cali I guess that store has also received the new stock (also Selfridges in London).
I had a chance to see some limited Ramesh era bags (like the incredible metal curved limousine vanity) at Saks, too. Also an evening Rejane in box leather with metal chain. Also Rejanes in exotics (gorgeous!). And I have to say that these and his previous designs in regular leathers still made my heart flutter. Not the new ones though.
That's about it from my perspective.
