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.

Thank you for chiming in here! And that is certainly a decent turnaround time, hopefully it would be that or less. The colors my SA showed me didn't have a rich purple or orchid color, which I was hoping for. Is Moynat like Hermes in that only certain colors are available for SO each season? I am sorry to be coming in after Ramesh left, I just didn't get around to Moynat b/c I was heavily invested in Delvaux. I should have...alas....my HG colors are the aforementioned plus a beautiful light green, which I didn't see also. Regardless, I might try the SO route just to experience it, because I do think it's so much fun.

Side note, I think it does still need to be approved, but it would seem that "accepted" is the better word now since my SA didn't convey that the process was difficult in the least.

Thank you again for your time and response! And, of course the most important part is, what did you get? :)

From what I was told, if they have the leather in the color you’re requesting, a SO can be done. What they won’t do is interchange leathers. For example they won’t make a carat calf gaby because taurillon blush leather is what’s used for that style. My SO was a peacock gaby pm with GHW :love:

Hello everyone,
I was wondering is anyone saw Lizard Leather Himalaya Rejane MM or Gabrielle MM in the store? I would like to get one kind of casual look, not the business look, any suggestions? It's a difficult choice.....

Has anyone learned more about Ramesh's next project? I will follow him wherever he goes - awaiting any news! I tried to warm up to the new Moynat designs to no avail. I don't feel excited about any of them. I keep hoping Moynat will beg him to come back, but I know that is unrealistic. In the meantime, my disappointment with the new Moynat bags prompted me to ask Peter Nitz make another bag for me. I always wanted a bag in Hermes P5 (Rose Bubblegum) and was never fortunate enough to obtain one. I mentioned my love for that color to Peter and he had his equivalent of chevre de coromandel custom dyed in P5 for me. He is going to make me one of his Dream bags in that color very soon. That is going to be my birthday gift to myself this year.

I love the Lorin! The back pocket is so convenient. I have been putting my iPhone there and using the coordinating pouch to hold some cash and my credit card for easy access when I am out running errands. The front flap on the Lorin is softer than the Rejane, but still holds its shape perfectly. The Lorin is also significantly deeper from front to back and holds much more than a similarly sized Rejane does. It would be very easy to go with a smaller size in the Lorin than what you typically prefer in the Rejane based on the interior capacity. I also love the twist lock closure. It is super easy to operate with one hand. Don't get me wrong, I still love my Rejanes and will never part with them. However, I view Peter Nitz bags as a great option for anyone that loves the craftsmanship of "Old Moynat" and is not impressed with the designs of "New Moynat". Since all of his bags are made to order, you get the benefit of a totally customizable bag without paying the extra cost associated with SOs elsewhere. I have been very pleased working with him and highly recommend him to anyone that may be interested. The process is so much fun!
