Does anyone know if the Gabrielle and Gaby will be discontinued? I really want a Gabrielle not sure if I should just go for it or wait if they are definitely still being made.

I have been in touch with Paris over the past months since I was looking for a new Gabrielle and colour choices have been limited for months. They just recently told me they were not sure new colours would be launched for the Gabrielle going forward. I was informed the Réjane would remain part of the regular line while they were not sure about the Gabrielle. I now asked for a special order and am awaiting the response from the atelier. I am not a panic buyer but would prefer purchasing it soon given the most recent developments. I’d not be surprised if they discontinued the Gabrielle style.

I am really worried about the future of the brand. My SA texted me to let me know she was leaving Moynat to take a position with a different luxury brand. I don't know if Moynat is eliminating some of their staff or if she decided to leave on her own. Either way, it is depressing. I had the impression that she was very happy in her position with Moynat before all of the changes happened.

I have been waiting for new bags to appear on their website, but nothing new for quite a while. I am worried about them too. They can't survive with so few bag options. In a world on Chanel, Hermes and LV, who all offer tons of options, I just don't see Moynat doing very well with their limited selection. I don't know why they keep wanting to get rid of classic bags? They should be adding to the collections not eliminating them. This is a hard one to watch...

Thank you so much for this information! I greatly appreciate it. I’m going to go ahead and buy the Gabrielle because I love the current color and gold hardware and it’s the last one they have.

I really don't know what to think of this as it seems even the store managers don't have a clear view of what will be happening. I understand management will probably want to test out the waters with the new designs before making any decisions, but it all just seems so disorganized and chaotic and I am not sure what to believe and whether or not to trust my own gut feeling and just get what I wanted before it's too late.

Please keep us posted. It's a wonderful style that I personally always preferred to my Kellys as it is so easy to wear and handle.

I’ll post a picture as soon as I receive it. I can’t wait! I have a Gaby and I just adore the lock, it’s so smooth and easy to use.

I believe this is the time for all of us to grab :eek:what we truly desire and can afford (which sadly leaves me out :crybaby:), because I fear there is no way Moynat will survive along the route it has taken.

If Moynat does survive, it will be a completely different brand from the one we love....

I don’t disagree with you. M. Arnault’s pet project has been given over to LVMH executive strivers who will drive it into the ground doing what they know how to do (which Moynat was never about). And, the way the industry works, none of these unimaginative dunderheads will pay a significant price for ruining a precious gem that was created from the vision, artistry, and expertise of Ramesh Nair.

Perhaps rather than disappear completely it will become a specialty label of one of the other houses. Whatever happens, what Ramesh created is quite in fact dead. Long live Ramesh, and I can’t wait to see what he does next……..

(On the upside, there is a bargain buyer’s market for Moynat at consignment.)
