@Fancyfree Hi: Does Taupe go with everything? I mostly just wear black and navy blue. At the Dubai store last week, the SA said the same about Taupe: classy, classic, all-season, forever bag. Because I was looking for a scarlet or chili Gaby, I did not decide on the Taupe. Also, I associate Taupe with my mum's bags and think of it (no offence) as a bag colour that women my mum's age would carry. She is 66. Most of my bags are black. Polar and emerald are the only two non-black ones I have. Should I go for taupe for the first time in my life? ? I cant find a scarlet/chili Gaby MM anyways as of now. Thoughts please. Thank you so much.

I bought a taupe gaby pm a month ago. It does go with everything. It looks really nice with black and navy. If you wear neutral colors then I would choose a bright color to add a pop of color. The chili color is beautiful. I am still thinking about it though. But looking at my closet full of colors, I am glad that I took the Taupe color which can go with more outfits.

Dear @bambita, if you feel taupe is at all dull and dowdy - do not choose taupe for your Gaby !!! A bag as special (and expensive) as a Gaby needs to be in a colour you love!

The reason I "voted" for taupe, was because it was the neutral option.

Personally, I prefer my most special bags to be in neutral colours, so they will suit my outfits and taste over decades. My neutrals are actually black, navy, dark grey and dark bordeaux. These are the colours I feel go well with all my clothes, year after year. I never tire of these colours, while my bags in bright colours get very little use after the first year or two...

As to whether taupe goes with everything... I really do not know. Seems as if many girls feel it does.
I guess a simple way of finding out is to borrow a taupe bag from a friend (or buy a cheap taupe bag) and do a weekend of modelling in front of your largest mirror

Both Capucine and Melon look stunning!!! Which branch of Moynat did you see these? Can't find this colour in my local shop.

The boutique is in Taipei,Taiwan.

Hi Everyone!

I’m a newbie, who just fell in love with Moynat Bags. I bought a Rejane Nano in Prussian Blue, a Cabotin in Tourelle, and now, needs help on deciding between Capucine, Melon, or Classic Colors on Rejane BB. Any suggestions on color? Please~~ Most of my bags are brown and blue tones. This will actually be my first try on bright and seasonal colors….. but I am a bit hesitate and might end up choosing black …. Please help.

My vote is on capucine! If you love these seasonal colors get them now. You can get a classic color some other time.

Thank you so much @bagnut1. I appreciate it very very much. I will look in the secondhand market.

Thank you @lilinko for sharing. Taupe might be my next after you and others here shared the versatility of this color. Thanx dear.

Thank you so much dear @Fancyfree for sharing your thoughts. I appreciate it very very much. Those neutrals of yours are exactly my color palette: black, dark grey, navy and bordeaux. OK Taupe might be my next. I saw the taupe Gaby babies in person. Honestly Taupe was surprisingly (to me) more beautiful than I thought. I just need to get out of my comfort zone and try for myself. I think I will pull the trigger soon. Thanx again.

Totally agree with @Fancyfree regarding Taupe. It's a great neutral, but I personally prefer Tourterelle
Throwing in another color for you, @bambita !
A part of me feels like the Gaby wasn't produced in Tourterelle (someone please correct me), but definitely the Gabrielle and Rejane have been.

Hi dear @savoy85: good call. Thank you so much for the reco. I think I saw a tourterelle Rejane on the old moynat insta page and it was just so lovely. At the time, I had to pick only one so I picked an emerald Rejane but in future, Tourterelle is on my list.

Hi there @bagnut1: wanted to say thank you again for telling me abt the Gaby MM on therealreal. OMG its actually there. So now I have couple of options: Gaby PM with gold or Gaby MM with silver OR Rejane BB with gold. I am not too crazy about red with silver but I am not sure. What are your thoughts on these?

This year the Gaby BB was made in Tourterelle---I bought one with GHW. It's my everyday bag.

Hi dear @kipp: Thanx for telling us. I bought that polar Gaby PM bcoz of pics you shared. Share pics of your tourterelle Gaby BB? Would love to see how it looks. Thanx a bunch.

personally I would go for the Gaby PM but if you need to carry a lot of stuff the larger bag is better. I do prefer the proportions of the smaller Gaby and the Rejane BB is too small and rigid to be useful for me. but your mileage may vary.

Does anyone own a bag in steel blue? If not, have you seen it in person? I would like to know if it is a true navy blue color or if it leans very gray. Any opinions would be appreciated - thank you!
