Official MOYNAT Thread

[Christofle]

I'm sorry this is the case. It just occurred to me that if many of us who are fans of Ramesh designs started asking about making some of the discontinued models maybe they would reconsider... and if they don't it would be a huge signal to them that the new designs aren't doing it for us... Just a thought.

I just got my girlfriend into Moynat so that’s one more customer to pressure them.

Given that almost all of the Ramesh-era bags have been discontinued, I wonder how everyone feels about the “classic” vibe of the bags that are now gone?

I am in my forties and am not really interested in carrying the “it” bag anymore. I am much more excited to own and wear well designed and constructed bags in styles that suit my personality and taste. So I don’t mind carrying a discontinued bag whatsoever, in fact I actually cherish it. Every time I wear any of these bags I acknowledge how fortunate I am to have been able to have purchased them when they were available…lucky me! So now that the Ramesh era has ended and more and more of his bags are falling out of production, I am coming to view my Moynat collection the same way. It is very similar to how I view my collection of Hermès scarfs, which are seasonal (so when they are gone, they are gone for good!). I certainly don’t sell or discard them at the end of the season, but rather adore the fact that I was lucky enough to be able to add them to my “heritage” collection.

Whenever I see one of my cherished, no longer available bags or scarves being worn by someone else “in the wild”, I feel a fabulous sense of camaraderie with the wearer since he or she was able to snag such a beautiful treasure as well…lucky us!

My husband equates my adoration of my “oldies but goodies” accessories to his love of classic cars…all should be respected, cherished and adored and aren’t we lucky to have them! ❤️

I agree with almost all of your sentiments. It's hard for me to compare Moynat and H (except during Ramesh era in terms of quality) because H makes so _many_ more things than bags (and so many more bags than Moynat!). I guess my metaphor would be if H stopped making scarves completely and ceased making every bag except the Birkin while launching a bunch of trendy models..... I would still love my Kellys and Bolides to death but they would feel much different if not even H considered them classic designs anymore.....

I think the classic car comparison is apt !

thanks dear for your input! I loooove this Rejane. Enjoy it~

Thanks as well I got the pink Rejane and love it so much! It's such a slippery slope, now I can't help but think I need to grab a mini Rejane next

PS -- really love your Woodrose, too!

This resonates with me so much. I am in my late 30s and appreciate everything you're saying. I love my Ramesh collection and will enjoy them for many years to come, long after Moynat has moved on to a new CD or even changed its target market. A younger market in certain locales isn't always worse, but I just wish they don't forget those of us who appreciate luxury differently -- for me, it's when it's discreet, understated, yet unmistakably quality, supported by genuine customer service. That was Moynat to me and that's how I will remember it

Sharing my lovely new-to-me, brand new condition Rejane PM in Bougainvillea for more eye candy! It was purchased in April 2019, right before I started my Moynat collection. It's the perfect Barbie pink shade, I would say, and it complements the beautiful curves and lines of the classic Rejane so that it's only ever so elegant! A color like this would typically be difficult to pull off but I love pink and I was so drawn to this.


(Sorry Moynat tPF fam, I had to watermark these photos since I realized a lot our photos here do get indexed on Google! Don't want to help unscrupulous people who fake bags and yes apparently even our dear M gets faked! )

I'm still waiting for her Twilly to arrive, but was quick enough to get this pretty Voitures Exquises twilly off of the H website the other day, as soon as I decided to take home this lovely pink lady! (lol yeah she's such a lady to me, the Rejane is so uniquely elegant!) Can't wait till it arrives and I can dress up this Rejane. I did try my black Across strap with her but found that it contrasted with the bag's elegance a little too much...



Almost the weekend...wishing all my M fam a good one

Hello dear~ Im 38 and totally share the same feeling. I was not lucky to be into Moynat when Ramesh was CD, but I am loving the discovery of each of his designs. I have 1 Gaby PM, 1 Gabrielle PM and 1 Gabriel reporter and I am absolutely in love with my small collection. What I love the most is the fact that I carry my M bags and they make me happy. I don't put them on a pedastal or are super afraid of using them. I don't buy them as an "investment". I feel sooo relieved when I carry a M bag because I truly love the bag, they are very pretty, classic, light weight, fit my essentials, easy to get in and out, no logo, no bragging and I rarely see women carrying them so it feels super exclusive to me. I sold most of my H bags. Im still deciding on whether to sell my Evelyne PM or not, but I sold them because I realised the bags were owning me instead of me owning the bags and by the way, I realised that I don't want to belong to an elite or exclusive "club", I don't want to show off or make any other woman feel "less than" or distance myself from others. I don't want people to see the bag before they see me. I certainly dislike H marketing strategy, the loops that customers have to go through and all of that doesn't represent the values of how I live my life. When I go to a Moynat store, all the SAs are genuinely kind. It is the only place where an SA is happy to see and even ask me to come to "play" with the bags. It is the only place where an SA has told me not to worry about the next bag and enjoy my purchase and they will explain me the details of their brand heritage. To me, that is the meaning of luxury fashion. Feeling welcomed, playing and dreaming and never try to fit in or be someone that I am not. I love Moynat because i truly enjoy the craftmanship and the excellent finishing of their bags and I don't need others to know anything about Moynat, to me it's this group's special secret.

Turns out my SA found the last two Rejane opéra clutches. Secured this one for my girlfriend but passed on the taurillon leather one. She seems quite excited to receive it…

Your girlfriend is so lucky! It is such a beautiful gift for her, I am sure she will love it.

Oh I didn’t buy it, she did. I simply tracked it down and forwarded the paris SA her email.

I act as more of a personal shopper tracking things down like heels in her size (4) apparently that’s rough and she’s not really a bag person either. I kinda feel bad for corrupting her with our purse disease by constantly sending her links.

Ha ha ha well, maybe next time you will get her something as a gift. It would be nice

Congratulations! I LOVE the color. I actually tried very hard to get a Rejane MM in this color and was never able to. Enjoy it!

Visited the boutique today and saw the new colors for Rejane bb, they’re very saturated and pretty.
The two pinks on the right are fuschia and dahlia
I thought I took a pic of the nano colors but the only one I took was of nano dahlia and bb dahlia
The nano dahlia is darker than bb for some reason. The boutique lighting doesn’t give an accurate representation of the colors in person, let alone in pictures but they’re all so beautiful.
I also took a picture of tourterelle because I’m contemplating it vs dark blue since I saw a Delvaux tempete for the first time and I was very impressed by it.
Voyage has grown on me but seeing it next to Gabrielle pm, my eyes still linger on Gabrielle more. She’s just so much more elegant. The navy blue tempete is pretty and beautifully made so I think it’s time to research the delvaux thread

Thanks for sharing the new Rejane colours!
