Thank you dear
I was so worried the taupe will be brownish as it’s so hard to tell in photos but is definitely cool toned and more greyish looking which is right up my alley!

Hi all! Need some help. I'm debating between the black or tourterelle Gabrielle bb. This will be my first Moynat purchase. I tried on the tourterelle color in person because they didn't have the black one in stock. The tourterlle is such a pretty color but I'm afraid I'll get it dirty/color transfer. The SA said she will text me when they get the black one in. Also, anyone have any experience ordering from the website 24s. Should I wait for the store to call me or order online once I decide on color? I'm kind of worried about ordering online because I can't inspect the quality of the bag. Thanks
24s is fantastic - no worries about ordering from them. If you have an issue with the bag you can return it.
I no longer have a Gabrielle but the leather was very "firm" on the surface, if you know what I mean - I wouldn't think that color transfer would be an issue and don't recall seeing anyone here report a problem.
Good luck deciding!
Agree with @bagnut1 about 24s. I ordered a Moynat bag on 24s last year and there was no issue with the bag's quality. Unfortunately they sent a different color from the one I ordered and I ended up returning it as what I wanted was sold out. The refund was processed within the same week that I returned the bag.
My first Moynat purchase was actually a black Gabrielle in MM and since then I've also gotten the clutch and BB size in barenia. Although I don't have any bags in tourterelle, I do have light colored Moynat bags in polar, taupe and powder with softer leathers and I've not experienced any color transfer issues so I think the tourterelle in carat calf leather should be fine. I've been using the 2 black Gabrielle bags frequently for almost 2 years and the condition of both bags are still great which is a testament to the hardy leather and fantastic craftsmanship more so than my bag maintenance efforts which isn't a lot. Regardless of the color you end up deciding on, the Gabrielle is a wonderful bag and I think it's a good choice for a first purchase!
Thanks for the advice bagnut1 and m220888. Love your collection there m220888! I'm still deciding between the colors although I'm leaning more with the black one. I guess I'll give myself a few more days to think it through. My wallet will not be happy once I pull the trigger
The order will come with the Moynat dust bag but it will be a 24s box. Not sure about the other Moynat stores but for the one I go to, any bag purchases are usually just packed in the dust bag. They will provide the box if you request for it though.
24s only provides their own boxes. They are reseller, seperate from the boutique. The bags are authentic, sometimes they are cheaper than from the boutique up to 30%. But they often send the wrong colors.
When purchasing at the boutique, it always come with Moynat boxes. Sometimes they run out of boxes and still waiting from Paris so they will send you one if you ask

24s is not a “reseller.” It is the international online presence of LVMH owned department store Le Bon Marche. The weird prices that are sometimes less are a lingering result of the completely botched Moynat sale pricing from last year and limited to discontinued models/colors.
