Well, depends on your lifestyle. Danse MM is huge, but it's a great work bag - it fits my 15inch laptop easily and has plenty of space left. Green boreal is a beautiful colour. With that being said Gaby MM is more versatile, great everyday bag and you can still fit a book/tablet inside. And leather is easier to take care of than nubuck. While Gaby is casual it's not as relaxed as Danse.
Are you choosing between those two on AFF? Seems to me you can find better prices for Danse with bit of patience, though the colour is beautiful and condition seems great.
I agree with every single word said above. Both bags definitely have their place and I actually love them both, but on the whole I think the Gaby is definitely a more versatile bag. i think the Danse MM is a bit too oversized to use as an every day bag, particularly because of the 6.5” depth (unless you happen to carry a ton of stuff around with you all the time…then it’s fabulous!). And I agree that, with a little patience and persistence, you could probably find the Danse for a better price than as offered on AFF - although the color is GORGEOUS, The RealReal recently sold a burgundy Danse MM in seemingly equally great condition for under $1500.
Honestly, no matter what you choose, you really can’t go wrong within Moynat. I still can’t believe how well priced their bags are given the design and craftsmanship.
Whichever you choose, ENJOY! ❤️
Haha, guess who was the lucky one to get it from TRR
The nubuck part was a bit faded, but it faded out evenly which is also a testament to Moynat quality.Haha, guess who was the lucky one to get it from TRR
That’s AWESOME! I love when fellow TPFers snag the best bags (and the best deals!) from the reseller sites! Especially someone who understands and appreciates Moynat. Your post totally put a smile on my face. Thank you! ❤️
I have the Danse MM in nubuck and it is kinda overwhelming - not like the PM at all. It's easily interchangeable with say, an LV Neverfull GM in terms of sizing. (Style is obviously very different, I'm just trying to think of a similarly sized bag.)
If you're petite, then it can be a lot for your frame, but personally I love the way it drapes.
That said - the Gaby MM is the more versatile and "put together" bag. You really cannot got wrong with it. I only have the PM size, but I've tried the MM size in store and it's a lot easier to pair that one with both dressy and casual outfits. Also nubuck requires a bit more care and handling. I wouldn't freak out over spilling coffee on my Gaby, but I'd panic if I spilled coffee on my Danse.
BTW, a follow-up question to all Danse owners: do you use a waterproof spray on nubuck?
I usually go for Colonill spray for my suede shoes and it works great. I've asked Moynat before, they said while officially they don't recommend any products and won't take it for repairs in that case, many clients use the sprays successfully.

Thank you so much lovely ladies! You have been extremely helpful. Pushing the lock down before pulling up the flap makes it easier to open the bag.
Good spot! I didn’t look closely, as I wasn’t interested in this change purse at all
Huzzah! So happy everything worked out for you in the end. Taupe is such a lovely color, especially with the tone of Moynat's gold hardware.
OK I need to stop oodling over your bag and remember I currently live on ban island. Congrats!
Thank you so much!!! So happy with it that I am using it right away! So in love with this color combo— so perfect!
Thank you!! Yes, I hope you will get yours soon and it will be in perfect condition. I was very lucky to be in town when the SA called me to let me know that they just got a new shipment from Paris.
