I have an update about the strap situation. It's been driving me a little nuts because it slides off my shoulder even though it's wide. Then SA told me that it's meant to be crossbody but the intention is that it's supposed to be worn on the high side. (Not quite like a holster, but sort of the same idea). I thought this was weird but I tried it and suddenly the bag got very comfortable to wear, plus easy to access since it's on your body. But it doesn't work as well on a coat. I'm still playing around with it and now I slightly regret getting the black since my intent was to have a black bag for fall/ winter with a black coat. I have to say though that otherwise it feels great to wear crossbody even though the strap is shorter.

Hello All, what are the pros and cons of Gabrielle BB? I was in SCP yesterday and saw the craftsmanship and it’s beautifully made. It was black with Palladium hardware. With the size is being 20cm, I think it is the same size as Mini Kelly but fits more and it is not really stiff. If one day I decide to sell my Moynat Gaby BB, where should I sell it? Any inputs are greatly appreciated 
Hi. I might be misunderstanding…do you currently own a Gaby BB and are thinking about selling it to buy a Gabrielle BB? If that’s the case - in my opinion, they are two beautiful bags and, although they look quite similar (most notably, the clasp), they are quite different in style and use. Nothing beats the refined structure of a Gabrielle but it is much stiffer than the Gaby and thus, access and capacity are a bit more challenging, particularly in the BB size. The Gaby, on the other hand, is much softer and has a more relaxed look and feel. Although their dimensions are fairly similar, I find the Gaby holds much more due to its relaxed structure. Comparisons are often made between the Gabrielle/Gaby and the Hermes Kelly - the Gabrielle parallel is the Sellier and the Gaby parallel is the Retourne.Hello All, what are the pros and cons of Gabrielle BB?

As for selling Moynat - most of the major resellers are selling Moynat now (TRR, Anns Fabulous Finds, Fashionphile, etc.) so while these bags do not hold their value as well as the Chanel classic flaps, for example, there is definitely a decent secondary market if you choose to sell your Moynat.
Oh sorry, I thought Gabrielle & Gaby are the same bag haha…What I meant was Gabrielle BB. The SA also mentioned that the Palladium will be discontinued in the future. Is that true? Thank you dear @hillsidegirl
Fashionphile just started listing Moynat (and a few other brands) very very recently. They only have one item listed right now.

I've both sold/purchased bags from AFF and only purchased from TRR. Personally, I've always had stellar service from AFF and feel 100% comfortable consigning and purchasing from them. This might be a small pet peeve of mine, but I hate when TRR mislabels bags: I've seen this happen quite a few times with Moynat on their website (e.g. labeling a Gaby as a Gabrielle).
Hope that helps!
Hi does anyone have the Moynat Nano Rejane? How is it? Is it bigger that the micro bags of dior? Thanks.
+1 on Ann’s. Lovely people and will defer to sellers on pricing (which I generally don’t recommend - they’re the experts and know where the market is).
+1 on TRR’s lack of attention to detail and adding that they are really having problems processing consignments. I have posted about this on other threads so won’t belabor it here but for anyone wanting to sell Moynat I would try Ann’s or FP first.

GABRIELLE CLUTCH
Echoing the curved, sleek lines of Moynat's historic Limousine Trunk, the Gabrielle Clutch bag is a discreet update to a signature shape of the Maison and a parallel of the city of Paris. Embellished with the distinct, M-shaped twist lock clasp and a removable strap for different ways of wearing.

Do they really defer to sellers on pricing? The very first time I consigned with them, they told me that they wouldn't let me determine my pricing, so I held off selling while evaluating my offers. Since then I've sold a few items through them, but only if I was comfortable with their quote.
In my (somewhat limited) experience as an AFF seller, I accepted their pricing estimate before sending in my bag. I asked about another one in the same style, different leather, just sitting there for months at a higher price, and they told me it was overpriced in their opinion. I inferred they were deferring to the seller. Also when my own bag sat there I asked them to lower it and they did.
Maybe they were firm with your pricing because it was your first time and you didn't yet have a relationship with them?
Also FWIW there are more limited options for selling Moynat than, say, H/Chanel/Fendi/etc. FP has recently listed a couple of items so it remains to be seen if they will enhance the resale market for Moynat. And I would definitely wave off anyone from giving over a high end bag to TRR (I've posted about my recent terrible experiences with them on the resale threads).
Hi all! I am new to Moynat but really interested in the Oh Tote - a few questions for you connoisseurs 1. Would you say it is less plasticky than the goyard tote? 2. I have a 16 inch laptop, which size would be best and can it support the weight? Thanks!! - Gaby
