Official MOYNAT Thread

[konacoffee]

I'm with you on that one - was planning to get it later, cause my bag budget has suffered a lot of damage this year already. And I don't like buying under FOMO pressure...
MM is a great daily working bag, fits a lot without looking too bulky or big. But what I don't get the most is stopping SOs for it There are no losses for company in that case and no risk of overstock...
The current line is too focused on structured bags imo, it's good to have options.

I feel you there. I love Moynat and I would probably be a customer even under the new management, but a lot of my purchase in the past year have been FOMO purchases and I'm a bit sick of it. When it comes to bags in this price range, I want to be able to sit on it and think about it until I'm really ready and happy to give my money over.

A part of me wants to "panic buy" a Gaby MM, but it just doesn't make me happy to buy one when I feel like I'm under pressure. I'm gonna hold out until fall/winter this year. If it sells out before then - then so be it. I'll grab one pre-owned.

Hi again, may I ask for the gaby bb, the interior is light colored calf skin, my new bag has a scratched interior, and an indent I am guessing is from the shoulder strap being placed inside the bag without the dust bag. It is much obvious in person, can’t really capture on photo. Is this acceptable? Or should I exchange it?

I knew this upon buying, I thought it would not bother me, and would like to know will it get scratched up anyway. TIA

Honestly I managed to get marks far worse than this the first time I used my Josephine. My Pauline has faired slightly better. I used a small dust bag as a liner for quite a while, now I’m just going with whatever patina develops, I don’t intend to ever part with either bag so I guess it doesn’t really matter!

@konacoffee hope our patience will be rewarded at the end of the year

I try to use pouches just in case, so far so good. My biggest fear are spills from sanitiser and water bottle, so always double check them. I sometimes have smaller dents from objects inside the bag, but they seem to smooth overnight once I empty the bag.

Thanks for replying. The bag is perfect in every way, just some scratches and dent inside, but I see that it is normal and inevitable. Now I just have to find the right pouch as a liner.

I made a liner out of thick craft felt for my Petite Pauline. No seams, just cut it to shape. To enable crisp folds, I cut half-way through the felt on one side. It works a treat

Thanks for sharing, I am not crafty at all but I will this out.

Hi all, I’ve just bought my first Moynat today, a Gaby bb in taupe and gold hardware. The bag is so beautiful, the quality is amazing. They only have the large box available so I opted for no box, the SA told me she will keep one aside for me when the small boxes become available.

I’ve also got an envelope card holder with the old logo, to be picked up in a few days as they have to transfer stock.

Omg this is the one I want! But sold out on 24s so I’m waiting for it to come back in stock. Your photo makes it look pretty grey and not as taupe. Is it just the lighting?

anyone know if they’re discontinuing the Gaby BB size? And the Rejane BB? I love both but just discovered the brand so need more time to buy them.

Hi, it is the lighting, I’d say the color is very close to Hermes’ etaupe. Below is the comparison. (Photo borrowed from internet)

I just found out the lower left corner of the bag’s leather is peeling, contacted the SA and she has arranged a brand new one to be shipped from France since that was their last taupe with gold hardware, and it’s gonna take a few weeks. A bit bummed by this...

Aw that sucks! But at least you get a fresh one straight from Paris! I looove that color combo, and it’s so versatile. I saw these bags in person recently and think they’re so much more special than your typical luxury brands that so many people seem to have. Hoping to get the same bag as you soon! Hopefully your replacement is perfect!

Thank you! I hope the bag you want will soon be back in stock!

I received my Gaby BB this morning and was disappointed to find several flaws. The feet on 1 side was off alignment, there were scratches and a stain on the interior leather, and cracking on the glazing of the handle. Very sad because it took so long to locate this taupe/ gold combo— nobody should have to settle for less than perfection for the amount these bags cost. What is more disappointing is that the SA brushed me off and said that these flaws are to be expected because it’s handmade. He insisted that the bag was brand new, but I found the removed sticker from the strap inside the bag! So, I am thinking it was returned by someone else. I have 2 other Moynats in perfect condition which I got in Paris 3 years ago and the quality is certainly no longer the same. Just want to make sure you all are looking over your items carefully. I am not even sure how it passed quality control on the feet alignment alone, even my tween daughter noticed that flaw immediately!

This is disappointing indeed! Were you able to request a replacement?

No, this color combo is sold out for now. He kept saying that this was normal- feet alignment, but my 2 other bags were perfect. He said he can’t see the cracking when I sent him the photo. I am happy to be able to return it and maybe check it out in person instead of purchasing over phone. And hope to deal with a SA who is more forthcoming. Now, I know why he only sent 1 picture. I should have requested to see more pictures. If I saw the bottom, I would have passed on it.

You shouldn’t feel pressure to keep this bag. The fact that your SA is giving you a hard time makes me think that the brand is really struggling, because in the past, customer service was a Moynat strong point.
Hope that you can find a better SA.
