Had to drop by my local Saks to check something else out, so I figured I'd check out the Flori real quick. I don't mind the silhouette (and this color is pretty! I've been wanting a light blue bag and this has about the right undertone I want) but this looked so much better on the models crossbody. Are the single color straps that the bag normally comes with longer than the multicolored ones?

I could see myself scratching the hardware a lot with the locking system that requires someone to have decent hand eye coordination (lol), but I have a Cabotin which requires a similar level of coordination to fully close, so I guess that ought to not be a dealbreaker. I'm not completely ruling out this bag, but wearing it did not spark much joy that day, so it's staying off my wishlist for now

The Flori is a cross body bag according to the website description. But the strap that comes with it is way too short to be worn cross body unless you are petite. Not a very thoughtful design.
P.S. The Ramesh era straps may not be compatible with the new bags as the clasps on the new bags are thicker.

Hi everyone! So I just received my first Moynat order. I have looked for quite some time, but just never pulled the trigger. I have plenty of Delvaux, Moreau & Hermes for my "leather" items & plenty of louder items like Chanel, LV, Dior, Gucci. Since Delvaux lost Christina Zeller (she wasn't performing all that well IMHO anyways), reduced staff & is up for sale, it left a hole for another brand with some of the same aesthetic. The voyage fits more than I thought it would when I first opened it, so I am pretty happy about that. The color is perfect! Little totes are perfect for throwing around during summer.

Would love to hear from other proud owners of the Danse - do you use an insert?
Click to expand...
I don’t use an insert so I just arrange my things inside to kind of maintain the shape.
I visited the boutique today and I couldn’t even bring myself to take pictures, I was so underwhelmed by the new bags. The only good thing I have to say is that the new bags at least still use the same leather and craftsmanship but that has nothing to do with Knightly. The wheel was small as was the suitcase, but Ramesh’s mini limousine trunk is small too but it’s SO much more beautiful with the curved bottom. The sac fleur 2.0 is smaller than I expected and I still prefer the whimsical and fun Ramesh version. I checked out voyage and was surprised at how easy it was to open and close with one hand but I’m not a fan of the engraving on the button. The gold is also brassier compared to the older bags and the hardware larger, neither of which I like. All in all I’m glad I was able to see in person for myself but I’m definitely sitting these new designs out.
Side note, saw this Mulberry bag and voyage has the same flap. Knightly is just using his old design elements and bringing nothing new which is disappointing.

Thank you! My Danse is in nubuck so perhaps even softer than the Plume leather Danse. I have two Fleurs they are great bags. Such a pity they won’t be making them anymore.

Good spot re the similarity with the Mulberry. Actually the Baluchon looks so much like the Mini Archie of Knightley’s own label.

Thank you so much for your commentary, @kipp. You’ve provided a wealth of information. I am especially interested in the workshop comment. I was also told that bags made in France were handmade, but I find it interesting to read that doesn’t necessarily hold true for bags made in Italy. I’m guessing the canvas bags, made in Italy, are machine/factory made because of the price point.
Yes, corporate is listening to feedback, regardless how painful. The wonderful SA’s and managers put on a brave smile- they are the front line, while Paris is hearing the reviews (good and bad).
I thought I would provide a visual, though your description of the room was perfect.
Thank you, again.

None of the bags in the picture caught my eye except for that Voyage, far left in the picture. The colour of the bag comes off as rich brown, but i wonder if it's red instead?

Good to know. Thank you for checking out the bags- your input is invaluable.
One quick question since I think we have similar design tastes- did the hole in the flap seem large when you opened the Voyage bag?

This is probably a dumb question, but are we able to post short videos? I'm also not sure what the appropriate protocol is for crediting media sent from an SA (see my earlier "group text" post). I have 3 short clips: 2 of the Wheel BB and one of the Little Suitcase Tu.
