I am considering adding a rejane in lizard to my small colletion of Moynat bags. I plan to use to the bag not on a daily basis but also not just for very special occasions. My SA tells me that lizard is actually quite durable. Does any of you have experience with lizard? Do you use regularly and how is it holding up?

Thank you.
I had a lizard handbag that my grandmother bought in the 1950’s. It was a dress-up bag for her (and me at the time I used it) so it wasn’t like it was carried a ton, but when I finally rehomed it (my phone and need for reading glasses made it no longer wearable for me), it was >60 years old. It still looked fantastic and the only flaw was that one side of the loop connecting the handle to the hardware was a bit worn through - and that was regular leather, not lizard!
 
I LOVE lizard. I have a 25 Birkin in lizard that I don't use very often and it is pristine. Have had it for over 10 years.
I also have an Hermes lizard agenda that I have had for a long time and use every day and it is fine (also I handle it quite a bit).
I think the biggest issues with lizard are scraping it or it getting dry.
HTH.
I almost pulled the trigger on a lizard Rejane a couple of years ago. Now am sorry that I didn't...
Good luck!
Thank you, Kipp. A lizard Birkin sounds gorgeous

Thank you. I like the idea of a lizard Rejane more and more.

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!

Thank you so so much! This was a surprise purchase for me as a friend of a friend happened to have it in brand new condition and wanted to sell it. Such a lucky buy, I called dibs immediately! I hope you still find the MM in this color one day...who knows!:hbeat:
 
I have few lizard in rejane and gabrielle myself. I would say it’s very durable and unique. It’s fresh if you are tired of seeing alligator everywhere. I like mine in the greyish color, they told me it’s a natural color and each one is different. There is a version with two white lines on the side ( which i see them as the belly) costs more than the regular one. This is mine with two white lines:2C985C2F-A586-402A-8C08-C88FBF3AA0DD.jpegED4D77B3-97BE-4B24-87A8-1BA16E70C8ED.jpeg

Your Rejane is beautiful. How often do you use it?
 
Hello all, I just picked up the replacement Gaby BB, and I would like to say the quality is inconsistent. The paint of the edge painting is also on the side of the strap itself (not the edge), and some enlarged stitch hole on the strap, so I opted for the old strap.

As for new bag, there are two tiny holes at the bottom corner. I am not sure if I am nitpicking and this is acceptable, or is this a quality issue. Please chime in.

The 2 tiny holes would be a deal breaker for me. Shouldn‘t have any holes no matter how tiny in a brand new bag.

They sent me this picture of Voyage as if i am interested in made to order one. What do you think ?
I think the gradations in color in the Himalayan skin work well with the shape of that bag. But that large round silver Moynat button clasp bothers me. I wish the clasp was more subtle so as not to draw attention away from the croc. Jmo

I have waited a month for the replacement, and I don’t wanna be a pain, so I took it home, as the SA and I thought it could be some of the edge painting. But when I took a closer look at home, they are tiny holes/pores.

So disappointing :-( how can a brand new bag from such a reputable company have 2 tiny holes? I feel bad for you.

Not nitpicking at all!
