I had thought the Danse was sold out where I’m based, but turned out that there was still a Danse in zinc in the boutique. I bought it, it’s like now or never!

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.

There is at least one element of the bag that I don’t like with each of the new bags. I may get the Flori one day if I want a common looking bag but at the moment I will sit this one out.
I hope they reconsider accepting SO for the Danse and the Gabrielle Reporter.

Lucky you, I did require about Danse in zinc around 1 weeks ago but was told no more ...
If you don't mind, may I ask how much is Danse in zinc? Thanks

Totally agree

Hi everyone,

I'm thinking of getting the Moynat Oh! Tote bag in the MM size. I've been looking for a tote bag for quite a while and the Moynat tote bag definitely caught my eye! I was wondering if anyone had it and their thoughts on it. The Moynat tote really caught my eye because of the design, size and craftsmanship. Hoping someone can help me out as I haven't been able to find out much about it on youtube or anywhere else.

Random question:

Has anyone else been receiving odd, random communications from Moynat? I just received this group text from someone who isn't my SA followed by 5 images + 3 movies of all the new items. Around the same time I also received an email from the South Coast Plaza store with the same text, but different images since it's more like a SCP Newsletter.

Here's the thing; I'm not complaining about being sent beautiful images of luxury goods, but I have never shopped at SCP or with this sales associate (I'm in NY). Over the past year I have received similar emails from the SCP store which I always thought were a little....odd. Mostly because I have no connection to the store, but also the content of the emails just wasn't to the high standard I'd expect from a company like Moynat.

But a group text with 23 other people? Am I the only person who feels this is a little bit of an unprofessional/uncharacteristic communication style for a luxury house? Also, I'm assuming it was the same person who sent the email even though the text has no signature (who are you, Mystery Moynat person?!).

I have to say that I find this a bit bizarre. I do get a lot of unsolicited text messages with photos, but from SA's with whom I've worked before. So no---not anonymous ones to me.

Very strange! I haven’t received any random texts or emails.

I have the pre-Ramesh departure pm size Oh! tote and I love it. If you do a search of this thread you’ll find pix

Happy Sunday everyone,

Thought I'd share some photos from my recent visits to Moynat. I ended up getting taupe Gaby PM SHW , but also tried some of the new bags. I liked Voyage shape: it's not as soft as Gaby and not as rigid as Gabrielle, so looks like a nice addition to the family. However, like lots of members here say - the button is distracting and I would prefer a more discrete clasp. Voyage Tourterelle with SHW looks good IMO and my favourite so far. As much as I love Chilli and Paon leathers, but that button looks clashes with the design and looks too much. Personally I might give Voyage a chance in the future depending on the leather/hardware combo.
The suitcase bag looked very nice and well-made but I couldn't justify buying at the moment, cause doesn't fit my current lifestyle. The round bag didn't look practical at all. Flori is reminiscent of designs from other houses (although in person you can see the better quality), but along with Baluchon doesn't seem special.
I would love to see them releasing more soft bags like Danse or Josephine (really disappointed they've got discontinued, they looked like great everyday bags).

For reference, I'm 163 cm.

I have an Oh! Tote mm. I don’t use it as much as I used to, but it’s a great bag. It’s size is equivalent to the LV Neverfull mm. The straps are wider than the LVNF, so it’s more comfortable to wear on my shoulder- but it has no interior pockets. I bought an Hermès Fourbi 25, which works beautifully.
One thing I noticed is that the Knightley era Oh! Totes are slightly wider at the top than the Ramesh era totes. I think Moynat is using the same pattern as the logo tote. Personally, I prefer Ramesh’s design because it doesn’t flare out on the sides- it’s quite straight.
The tote fits a lot and the glaze on my tote is still perfect after 2-3 years.
Here are some photos-

This is my tote- even when it’s empty, it’s fairly straight vertically.
This photo is from 24S- I’ve seen the newer totes in person and they flare out a little more on top.

Thank you so much for your perspective. Your comments are enlightening and your photos are fantastic!
I like the Voyager, too, but at that price point I have to move beyond like to love. Who knows, maybe I’ll love it some day.

Thank you so much!! I've seen the new designs and I definitely prefer the Ramesh era Oh! Tote bags. Hopefully they still have those in the store. While I like the monogram look, the newer designs are a bit too much for me!

It's great to hear that even after a few years, the Tote still stands quite well as I'm planning to use this as an everyday bag

I'll definitely be popping down to London Moynat stores soon to get one!!

I used my tote everyday for over a year. Thank you! You’ve inspired me to pull it out of the dust bag and put it to use.
I just looked at the Moynat website. Moynat has the more vertical design for the Oh! Tote (again?) or they cropped the online photos.

I can 100% relate to like/love argument, that's how I feel about it too.
