H! Does anyone know if color names change depending on the leather type? For example “eggplant” in carat leather will have a different name in taurillion leather or in box leather. Or is the name, pretty much the same across all leather types? Also, have original colors been renamed? I recently saw online a bag in the color “Dahlia” but it doesn’t look like the original “Dahlia” in which the Gaby MM came in. I’m just wondering how colors are classified in Moynat. Thanks in advance!

During Ramesh era color names were generally specific to leather. When he left it seemed like a non-system emerged, and yes color names seem to have been reused without regard to the original hue. Not sure if this is intentional or the result of other operational changes. (And to be fair Ramesh's color names didn't always make 100% sense either.)

Does anyone own the Rejane Nano? If so, how do you like it?

Yes I do! I recently got it and I love it! It does not fit my phone but surprisingly fits my 6 ring key holder that has my car fob and my card holder with ease. I took it out this weekend.

I recently added this tote my collection. If you are thinking about it, get it. The pouch is included. I love that they changed up the monogram colorway. It holds so much.

MAXI TOTE BAG

This lightweight tote bag crafted in Canvas 1920 M Monogram Maxi highlights the Maison's signature such as the jacquard shoulder straps with Moynat 1849 lettering, removable zip pouch and embossed Moynat tongue on the front. The Art Deco-inspired M monogram was originally designed by artist...

I saw that in stores and I love it! I just wish it had a shoulder strap

Here’s the Le Duo cabas…

I like the teal one with the orange interior, the straps look comfortable since they are wider than other totes that Ive seen. I can tell they’re lengthened to fit under the arm comfortably.
The only pet peeve about this tote is that I am not a fan of the folded corners at the bottom of the bag. I know it’s done probably because it’s reversible but I prefer a more seamless look.
Also $2700 USD is a little pricy to me for something so simple. YSL has a similar version (though a little less structured and thinner straps) and I think it’s around $1200 USD.

Thank you! This is very helpful

Hi I am very new to Moynat and have decided on the Gabrielle Clutch. Fits my lifestyle perfectly. I have been offered a black with gold and silver hardware and Tourterelle with gold hardware and cannot decide between them. I know black and gold will always be classic but I already have 3 Chanel bags, of varying sizes, with this colour combo, so would it be a mistake to get a clutch with the same colours? I'm worried the silver hardware maybe 'too young' for me (I'm in my mid-forties) and that Tourterelle may not be easy to match with outfits. I'm going to see my SA tomorrow but just wanted some advice. Thanks.

Ok guys so they’ve approved my Le Duo SO! 6-8 months. Apple green / anemone.

I'm worried the silver hardware maybe 'too young' for me (I'm in my mid-forties) and that Tourterelle may not be easy to match with outfits. I'm going to see my SA tomorrow but just wanted some advice. Thanks.

First…I’m so excited for you! I had been patiently waiting for the Gabrielle Clutch to become available in black with gold hardware so when my local boutique got some in, I jumped at the chance to snag one. I am confident that you will love the bag no matter which color combination you select. It is such a usable size while still being subtle and elegant.

I’m not sure I can offer much help selecting a color since that is so personal but I’ll throw in my two cents. First, I’m also in my forties and own a bunch of different bags with silver hardware (and gold). I think some bags and some colors simply look better with silver hardware. I also wear silver, white gold or platinum jewelry fairly often so silver hardware is often the best choice. I definitely don’t think I have out-aged silver hardware and I don’t think I ever will. Sure, it might be a little more contemporary, or maybe a little more casual, but i think people of all ages can pull off silver with ease.

As for the potential overlap with your black/gold Chanel bags…I have a few vintage and a current classic flap in black/gold and they are so different from the clutch. First, the Chanel bags are so recognizable whereas the Moynat tends to fly below the radar. There are definitely times when I want to carry a below the radar bag, especially lately, so the Moynat fits that bill perfectly. Plus, the polished gold, leather-threaded strap on Chanels offers such a different look from the sleek and subtle Gabrielle Clutch (with or without the strap). The colors may be similar, but the vibe is so different. There are definitely occasions for each.

As for the touterelle, I don’t have a tourterelle Moynat (yet!…it’s on my list!) but I think it’s a very easy color to match. For what it’s worth, I have the Chanel timeless clutch in both black and beige clair and I wear them equally. And I would argue the tourterelle is a much more user friendly tone than the beige clair. (Both of my Chanel timeless clutches have silver hardware, by the way).

So, in a nutshell…I’m no help! I really mean it when I say I do not think you can go wrong. Maybe think about the last 5 or 6 times you grabbed one of your Chanel’s…would the Moynat have been a better option any of those times? If so, which color? Which hardware? I will never forget a Barney’s salesperson once talked me out of buying a black bag from him, presumably losing his commission. I was impressed and his approach stuck with me. He noticed I happened to be carrying a black Delvaux bag and he asked if there were ever a time when I could see myself choosing to carry the new black bag over the black Delvaux (he happened to really love the Delvaux). After thinking about it, my answer was “no” so I passed on the new bag. I try to use this approach whenever I am considering a new purchase. It has really helped me whittle down options and select the proper color, ultimately filling holes in my closet instead of adding redundancies time and time again.

Best of luck! Please report back with an update on which bag you chose. Such fun!

Sounds lovely, I can’t wait to see the colors! I’ve never seen those colors in Moynat!

Thank you so much for your advice. You are right, certain bags work better in certain colours. I will let you know what I decide. So excited. Anyway, can I ask which Delvaux you are referring to? Firstly I had been deciding between the Brillant and the Gabrielle and then when I saw the clutch in here, I knew it had to be the clutch. I only have one clutch, a H Jige in Blue Jean which is more casual so I definitely am in need of something that is more suitable for evenings. On the occasions when I wished I had a clutch I would use my Chanel Boy WOC which didn't really work either so I think I will be opting for the black and gold but who knows, when I see them irl, I may change my mind altogether! Will report back later. Eek

So...... unexpectedly, I decided on the Tourterelle!!!! It is just so beautiful.

The SA showed me all 3 bags and I was instantly drawn to it. This huge smile just broke out on my face and I knew that was the one. Also, seeing both the silver and gold together I much preferred the SHW with the black. Its a very dark powdery ink black (can't explain it) and the gold is very yellow so I personally think the SHW works better with it.

This is my first Moynat and I do believe it won't be my last.

I've included photos for those who are thinking of getting one and are undecided on the colours.

Congrats on your new clutch! I've been waiting on a Gabrielle clutch as well, but I'm waiting a little longer for more colours. Thank you for sharing pictures. Both colurs look good on you!

The tourterelle is SO you!!! It’s perfect! I’m so happy for you. I hope you love the bag forever. It’s so timeless.

Anyway, can I ask which Delvaux you are referring to?

I was carrying the Brillant in the MM size whenI was in Barney’s (I’m dating myself!). I love that bag too. In fact, I have the identical bag in the GM size. How ridiculous (But at least I know I’m ridiculous, that’s halfway to recovery!). Delvaux and Moynat both craft forever bags, so I am quite sure that I will still be carrying all of them when I am ninety (If I can still lift the GM Brillant! Lol)

 

[TraceySH]

So Moynat sent images of my SO for me to approve. Here’s the combo!
