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!

I don't have any bags in steel blue but I do have a macaron charm that is mostly in that colour. I would say it's not a true navy blue but still more blue than gray. I've also included a photo of the steel blue charm with 2 others that are of a different blue for you to have some idea.

Thank you! This is really helpful. I am considering a Ramesh era Rejane MM in steel blue and trying to get a better sense of the color. The MM is my favorite Rejane size and the resale market is the only option if I want to add additional colors to my collection since this size was discontinued.

@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.

If you want a scarlet Gaby, you'd probably would have to custom order it at this time. I'd ask your SA for more details and pricing.

I personally like the taupe a lot, but prefer tourterelle. Taupe will go well with your closet, but for Moynat prices I recommend waiting it out and finding a color you're really enthusiastic about.

Glad to be of any help! I hope you do find something on the resale market. I too am paying attention to that as I would like a Gaby MM which has also been discontinued.

I received these pictures from Selfridges in London. Thought I'd share since these two colors were mentioned in the forum recently. I am not sure if the red is Scarlet or if it will be made for Gaby. But it sure is nice to see the red color being brought back.

Nice!
The Gabrielle and Gaby leathers are different so the color names are usually different.

I got these pix from my SA. Rejane pm is blue steel. I’m going to check out gaby pm in ocean this week but I have gaby pm in peacock already so I don’t know if I want to buy the same style. And as much as I find ocean beautiful, I’m also not sure if it’s a color that’s useful for me since I could use black or grey in the same way.

Gorgeous! Any chance these are from South Coast Plaza? My SA from there reached out to me a bit ago to let me know that the store received two Gaby PMs in Ocean today - she said one was already reserved for a client (I am thinking that might be you ) and I just bought the other! It is such a fantastic color. Here is the photo my SA sent…

I hope you love it! But I hear you about potential overlap with Peacock (Peacock is such a great color too). I will be curious to hear what you think in person - hopefully they are different enough that you can rationalize owning the pair.

Such fun!

Yes! My SA said one was just sold! So glad to know that’s it’s from one of us here :hbeat: How is the color in person? That boutique lighting is terrible, it really doesn’t let the beautiful Moynat colors shine. I always need a pic outside to get a better idea. Is it a very dark blue indoors? Or does it look almost black? Can you still tell it’s blue? And is the blue more vibrant in daylight? I wear jeans a lot so this blue would always complement but then again every bag I already have would do the same. Other than loving gaby pm and it’s supple leather, I’m not sure how to justify this :giggle:

Oh excellent! I am so happy that a forum member may own my twin Ocean Gaby!

And yes! i think you literally described Ocean to a tee. I find it to be quite a chameleon color. It can lean towards more of a navy under certain indoor lighting but in other light, including natural light, it is much more of a medium blue, similar to the photos above. SCP had a nano Rejane in Ocean on the top display shelf in the store that looked quite dark until they brought it down, when it instantly changed to a lighter, more vibrant blue. That being said, it still always looks blue to me, never black (unlike, say, Hermès Indigo, which can definitely look black in certain lighting). It really is quite a beautiful color - more of a true blue without any green/teal, like Peacock. I fully enjoy the rather wide color range Ocean offers. I will try to take some photos tomorrow to see if I can capture some of the different hues under different lighting.

I hope you love it in person! (as an aside, aren’t the SAs in the SCP store so lovely?)

You’re helping me rationalize ocean! I’m glad to hear it stays true to blue and can’t be mistaken for black. And you’re right, peacock is more teal while ocean has more hues of blue. Other than my indigo oh! Tote, I don’t have a blue handbag. I saw the bucket bag that I can never remember the name of in ocean when it first debuted and I was very drawn to the color. My SA notified me when the new limousine (I think that’s the name of the other top handle besides voyage) arrived in ocean but I just wasn’t into that bag. I’m looking forward to seeing ocean gaby in person and I hope the color is very saturated and rich!
As for the SA’s, I agree, they’re SO lovely! In addition to the manager, I worked with another SA but she has since left so my present SA inherited me :giggle: He’s been just as wonderful!
