For one the Rejane’s hardware is far easier to open and close versus the belt like Delvaux.

The drop on the Delvaux handle is a bit higher which means it’s easier to carry over a thick winter coat.

Aside from that both are sturdy bags.

haha that's why this is such a difficult decision ... i need both

If you believe you will eventually (wish to) purchase both a Brillant and a Rejane....
I would buy the Rejane first.

Delvaux Brillant is not "going anywhere", i.e. we can expect the Brillant to be in production for many years to come.
With Moynat scrapping so many of Ramesh Nair's fantastic designs over the last couple of years, I would grab the exquisite Rejane while you can

so sad that they are scrapping the Gaby! hope this does not happen to the Rejane. but i think the Rejane 23 would've been prefect for me. i struggle to fit everything i need in the bb size.

Hi everybody, I am looking to buy my next bag, and am considering to get either a rejane bb or gabrielle bb, I currently own a gaby bb. Or any Ramesh crossbody bags really… Suggestions?

The Gabrielle is on my wishlist. It is a very Kelly. (H) bag but at a fair price for the same quality. So I would vote for that one. I also have the Gaby BB and love that little sweet bag so much!

Brought my Gabrielle PM out today. This size is super perfect for me, extra light, so spacious you can put many things inside, I love it!

Rejane bb is so cute. Everytime I see it in person I fall in lust a little more. Photo from my visit to Saks this week. Same taupe color but it looked different on the 2 bags. (Photo edited to match how the color looked to my eyes in person).

Hello everybody, I'm new to Moynat and just got my first Réjane bb in Prussian blue which is soooo incredibly gorgeous! I fell instantly touching the leather and trying the bag on. Unfortunately, the one they had in the boutique had a stain on the hardware and my SA was so kind to help me order a new one from Paris. I finally got mine yesterday and it's totally worth the wait! Love the combination of the greenish or greyish(?) blue colour and the GHW. My photo doesn't do it justice as it looks so much better in person.

Now my real struggle is whether I should get the Réjane bb in Litchi (picture from SA) as well. I was equally struck by both colours, yet I couldn't bring myself to buy two bags at the same time. Still, I couldn't put down the Litchi during my first and second visit to Moynat and haven't been able to get it out of my head throughout this week.Probably it's going to run out of stock soon as it's a seasonal colour from last year I suppose. Should I just go with my heart and buy it or save the money and wait for the next season?

We are bag twins! Congrats on your beautiful bag. This is a hard decision. Is there a color you could possibly want more than Litchi? Then it would be worth waiting.

Yay! So glad that you like it too! Thank you for the suggestion. There isn't any colour that I'm particularly fond of at the moment. I usually need to try the bag on to tell if I really like it. I wasn't too impressed with Litchi back when I was just looking at its picture haha.

I love the Litchi color too!
If you think that you would love that bag more than your Prussian blue bag, I think you could ask for an exchange.
Otherwise, I would consider waiting to see if other bags come out in the Litchi color. First of all, you want to use the Rejane for a while to see how you like it before committing to 2 bags which are the same. I have seen Moynat bring back their various colors in other styles, unlike Hermes, it doesn't seem that the colors disappear for years. So you can ask SA to be on lookout for other bags in Litchi and this also gives a great excuse to buy a new bag! JMHO. Enjoy your new bag!

Thank you! Really appreciate your advice. I was so amazed by the quality and style of Rejane that I got carried away. It's a relief to learn that old colours return after a while so that means I may still see Litchi later in other styles.

Congrats on your beautiful purchase @sumyutina!!! Prussian blue is a stunning color! I have a Gaby in Prussian Blue too. If you love Prussian Blue, you can never say no to Litchi. After the Gaby, I fell in love with the exact Litchi Rejane BB in your picture. IMO, both Prussian blue and litchi are vintage-yet-vibrant. They are in a subtle saturation to a point you won’t find it too loud to be eye catching.

Here are some photos of my Litchi Rejane. Hope it helps with your decision.

 

[sumyutina]

Thank you for your lovely photos! I have seen your previous post introducing this Réjane. You look so elegant with it! I couldn't agree more with how you feel about Prussian blue and Litchi. They are vibrant yet muted with that hint of grey so complement the vintage shape of Réjane perfectly.

My newest addition! Gaby MM in Black & Palladium!

I wasn't sure if I was ever going to add this bag to my collection tbh since I figured I could always buy a nice black top handle bag from most brands. I was between Taupe and Black but went with Black in the end. More practical and goes with everything I own.

I'm also thinking about which bag to let go of now. I've been pretty strict about "one in, one out" for bags now that my collection is more than I need, but I still love all my bags. I'm thinking my Rejane BB in Litchi as it's my least used and Im realizing the BB size is just not practical for me. Still hurts to admit it though and it's such a recent addition that I'm sad about it.

South Coast Plaza will also get a Black Gabrielle MM! They're saying it's probably the last one in the world, so if you've been wanting that I'd definitely give them a call.

The end of an era...you have such a well rounded collection too.
For those with multiple M's, which is your favorite to carry, and which do you reach for most often???

Good question.

I use my Josephine pm and Gaby pm the most among my M collection.
