Official MOYNAT Thread

[femmedefrance]

Lets move on to the new chapter of Moynat. It has been like that for 10 years and is getting boring to me. Everything changes. Beside that they still keep Gabrielle, Rejane , Gaby, mini Vanity ... Aren’t we mostly talk about these styles ? They are still around.

 

[Love Of My Life]

Don't know if this has been mentioned but the show on NETFLIX " Her Private Life"
features some interesting Moynat handbags..

You are welcome … and welcome!
I’m unsure about the US price, but I think the Gaby BB is $4100 and the PM is $4300.

Thank you so much @Sourisbrune!

I’ll be the first to write I appreciate commentary on old and new bags and accessories. I like reading about the good and the bad- how TPF’ers feel about Moynat.
I was one of Moynat’s loudest cheerleaders. I appreciate the rebirth of Moynat (a dozen years ago thanks to Ramesh Nair)- the subtle styles and classic designs. For me, my longing for Moynat’s original understated luxury doesn’t mean I haven’t moved on. As a matter of fact, I’ve moved on so much that I’ve purchased other luxury brands while I await the future of Moynat. Yes, Ramesh is long gone and the house has developed a marketing model and a style that don’t appeal to me. They’ve tucked bags I like on the back burner while they promote designs that scream their branding. It is what it is- and the new styles must appeal to the masses or Moynat wouldn’t have gone the way of LVMH.
The following is just my opinion:
I think there is room on this forum to address both old and new. I want to read posts that reflect different opinions.

Yes!! I couldn't agree more.

oh god, those look terrible. These look like cheap knock offs/"inspired by" dupes of other bags.

The designs are way too busy and you can even see the stray glazing on the Flori. I can appreciate getting it to puff nicely and maintain a clean line probably takes a lot of technical skill, but it just looks so off-putting compared to the other Floris I saw.

I think it's the heaviness of the clasp and the excess leather on the top two bags make them seem a lot bulkier and busier than what I'd like. Part of the reason I started buying luxe brands rather than shopping Etsy or custom bags is because I found most luxury brands can make clean lines and well-proportioned silhouettes without compromising quality too much. But these...entirely miss the mark for me. The Voyage is the only one I'd consider at all tbh.

Thanks for sharing. Although the new styles don’t appeal to me enough to buy, I am still interested to see how Moynat evolves. I do enjoy seeing the colors!

I get what you are saying, but I feel this one is different...well actually very similar to what happened to Celine. The entire "culture" of the brand is being taken away and it's being turned into something else entirely. And that something else is similar to lots of other brands. So while I get your overall point (and normally would agree, to be honest), I don't see this as a "move on" situation. This is a unique brand with a very specific asthetic being mishandled by new management/designs. So I don't think anyone who loved Moynat as much as I did can just say "okay, lets move on". There is nowhere for us to move on to, other than for me, H.

Not quoting the body of the post, just using the Pics…..
Pic one and two…….the corners bother me. I want to rotate them so that the resin is in line with one of the seams.
pic 3……I can’t unsee an elevator button
pic 4 design is very close to a Vuitton Vivienne lockit With a splash of the sac Eden.
I was in the Paris Moynat store within 2 weeks of it opening and the artistry, quality and service was incredible.……I own 5 M bags and a few of the Ramish designs from Hermès.
really bums me out that he is no longer the designer at Moynat.

Good eyes! I zoomed in on the sealant on the top/side (the hump above the strap hardware).

I agree- of all the bags, the Voyage intrigues me until I look at the magnet size. I will probably visit a store in a month- maybe seeing the Voyage in person will inspire my wallet to open.
The first bag with the caps on the corners. I don’t even know where to begin. Of course, the leather is beautiful. Imo the corners are just so wrong.

I’m thinking Knightley might get out his sketch pad and design the next season of bags- not just tell his employees his vision and let them create the designs. I’m hoping the bags only get better. Better designs? Still the same amazing leather? New artisans perfecting their craft? I remain filled with optimism.

I have to say i force myself to accept the current, hope for the future and cherish the past. It’s just a bag,being made as choice for all people, what else can we do? I can see they are keeping the best of Ramesh, making them in new colors like usual, eliminate the ones dont bring benefits, add on pieces which different but fits the current market while keeping the traditional, dare to take the risk for something different.
Voyage Nano reminds me of new Lady Dior Micro. It is growing on me!

Though the magnet is exaggerate, it kind of works on this size Voyage. It’s a cute bag! My only wish- ‘Moynat’ wasn’t etched across the center button. I wish it was just frosted/etched metal. I could see this becoming popular with mini bag lovers.

Voyage is very cute in this size! And the belly button doesn’t bother me as much as it does in the regular size, go figure. I wonder if it fits a phone.
