Official MOYNAT Thread

Has anyone else noticed the recent "influencer-push" on Moynat's Instagram stories? Moynat shared 3 different influencer posts, which were all ads uploaded on the same day by each respective account.

I'm curious what others think of the brand using this type of marketing strategy, which isn't totally surprising given the new leadership.

I have thoughts. They aren't particularly positive. On one hand I'm happy to see more people becoming exposed to the brand, even though most of us here are from the old guard of Ramesh. On the other hand, I feel like it's....cheapening. [harsh, but I can't think of a better word]

I have officially turned into the old person who complains about everything new. :lol: Let me get my abacus and rotary phone...
I would prefer Moynat didn't have an IG account at all rather than to see what they are publishing lately. As an M lover, I want to see the manufacturing process, similar to what Loewe did in the past showing how some of their iconic bags are made, I want to see more discussions about how to protect the craftsmanship and more details of their leathers and products. I want to see more of what is Moynat's true identity, not about what is Moynat's ego.
 
I love the green color of the 2nd picture, but I wish it was a Gabrielle lol

I know Moynat released a Gabrielle in Emerald and Jade. I recently sent off my Emerald and PHW (PM) off to consignment to make room for my Peacock Gaby that I'll be getting this year. I haven't seen the Jade & GHW in person, but I know Mel in Melbourne did a review on hers! Hers was a BB.
 
An update on my gaby bb:

The new bag has arrived a few days ago, went to pick it up yesterday the boutique manager took out the new bag, and the previous bag I kept in store. The new bag had nothing wrong the the leather outside, but the shape of the base and the bag in general was not as pleasing as the 2-hole bag, the inside lining of the new bag was stained, not a little, quite stained. The handle of the new bag is lopsided, it was not symmetrical, I was horrified seeing the handle in that condition.

Anyway, I have decided to go with the 2-hole bag and be done with. I think I have gotten over about those tiny holes, and I really wanted the bag.

After seeing 3 Gaby bbs, and none is perfect, I think the QC has declined. :(
 
Hello TPF,
I have been reading your comments for a little while now and decided to buy the Gabrielle in tourterelle, my first Moynat. We don’t have a boutique in Canada so I relied on your expertise to make my purchase.

I emailed Moynat and a SA from the Paris boutique helped me. She was absolutely amazing, very responsive. My bag arrived within a week after I made payment. It was so securely packaged. I completely love the bag! Thank you TPF!

PS. I will have to buy a proper twilly instead of using my neck scarf but just too excited.

Hi everyone,

I'm thinking of getting the Moynat Oh! Tote bag in the MM size. I've been looking for a tote bag for quite a while and the Moynat tote bag definitely caught my eye! I was wondering if anyone had it and their thoughts on it. The Moynat tote really caught my eye because of the design, size and craftsmanship. Hoping someone can help me out as I haven't been able to find out much about it on youtube or anywhere else. :blush:

Just got this and LOVE IT way more comfy then LV or Goyard! Great purchase <3

hi! Which store did you get your BB from?
 
Thank you! I was worried because I just got the same one and was afraid I got the dirty lopsided handle one you mentioned! Mine looks perfect and I love it sooo much. So refreshing from Chanel, LV, etc., and much more special and unique!
Congrats on your new bag! Where did you get it from?

It is very refreshing indeed, I don’t see many ladies carry Moynat here, everyone carries a Chanel or Hermes here, literally.

thank you!!! I’m so excited. I got it from South Coast Plaza in CA. I couldn’t get over how smooshy and delicious the leather was, inside and out, and how good the gold looked with the leather (in literally every bag, the colors are all so saturated and gorgeous). It’s so well made, so much better than all my Chanels. I still love my Chanel and other brands, but Moynat feels more special because I don’t see it on every other girl in a high end urban area. Hermès is also great of course, but I honestly hate the status and judgment that is associated with carrying a Birkin or Kelly. I get bags for the style and history, not the perceived status.

Anyway, I’m so happy I found Moynat! I really hope the classic designs with quiet branding stay. I really want a Rejane and maybe another Gaby or potentially Gabrielle! How are you enjoying your Gaby? I know you said yours had some flaws, but hoping you can still enjoy it the way I’m enjoying mine!

also excuse the stickers still on the hardware, I can’t get myself to take them off yet!
