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?
You’re welcome! The hole is large but it’s more proportional to Voyage’s size than Baluchon’s. I was surprised to find it didn’t bother me since it’s so easy to close the flap and I wouldn’t have to leave it unlocked. The hole appears larger to me on baluchon since it’s such a small bag.

How are you liking your Gaby pm?
 
Has anyone noticed the new camera bag from the Knightly launch has been missing in photos and on their website?:confused1:
**********I‘m answering my own question- it’s coming soon, for those of you who are interested.

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.

Congratulation on your purchases! That's such a nice colour and hardware combination :heart: Would be great to hear about your experience with the bag after you have a chance to wear it more.

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.

That's an interesting observation. To be fair though I think this Mulberry design is by Johny Coca (who's actually recently left for LV). The hardware though looks more discreet than current Moynat:facepalm:

Thanks for the correction! I guess there’s only so many ways a flap can be shaped. I’m just such a fan of how Ramesh fluidly incorporated the M into the Gaby and Gabrielle flap and lock.

I will let you know. Hardware is different for sure, but I just found it...interesting in a mechanical kind of way that I liked? I have just placed an order for the Gaby in polar & the Gabrielle in bois de rose (consignment so I'll choose what to keep). I DO like the new limousine coming in a few weeks in ocean. That should get me a nice little cross section of old & new Moynat.

So I really first came across Moynat when I was in London a couple of years ago. Honestly I fell in love with the uniqueness of the shapes but more importantly, the rich saturated colors. I am someone who likes those deep plums, orchids, mint greens & bright blues. I remember seeing the larger sized Rejane in those colors then, but not now. I am happy to be set with some neutrals, but I do wish brighter colors were available also!

If you like the brighter colors and you have decided you love a particular bag, you can always SO one. I think you also like exotics and the Moynat ones are exquisite, too!

Ohhhhh how you must already know me! My SA has already sent all the swatches & we’ve discussed the process & timelines! Ha! I will have some play time with the various models & then see which I’d like to SO? Have you done this & is it pretty smooth?

@TraceySH, I haven't done a SO with Moynat so can't really accurately respond to your question. Hopefully some of the other folks here on the thread who have can chime in.

Congrats on your Moynat purchases @TraceySH! You’re going to love them! SO was quite easy. I ordered right before Ramesh Nair left, so he approved what I requested. With the new Moynat, it doesn’t seem as if approval is necessary. If the color is available in the specified leather for a certain style, you just pay the deposit which is the bag price plus 20% SO fee and the bag should be done in 6-8 months. The time span could be different due to covid but when I made my order last year in May or June, my bag was actually ready by end of October.
