Hi, may i ask if the bag is heavy?? I LOVE the everything on this tote.
Not at ALL. Very very very light. And in using it for a week, while moving, throwing it around, etc, not a single sign of use. The leather became more supple and developed a little shine to it. Corners were no issue at all.

I was considering to buy the Ruban duo tote but just saw your pictures and checked out the website. Love your tote soo much. I am new to Maynat because i got tired of LV, Chanel or Hermes. do you have a LV NF MM that you can make a comparison with both bag for me?

I don't because I just never use my NF! I know they are VERY functional but somehow I just go for the more under-the-radar stuff? (I am sure I need to sell my never used LV luggage at some point.) I think LV and moynat are just such different aesthetics. This one is like a larger purse, to me at least, where I never saw the NF as anything but purely for travel or groceries or schlepping stuff between homes?

thank you for your reply.. I only know the Ruban Duo but never put the trigger but when I saw your picture today I was feeling like beyond the moon - finally something understated but the leather looks yummy to me.

Ok I may have to take back my glowing review for my Oh! Tote. Glazing has separated on one of my handles on my 2 year old bag. Granted I’ve used it a lot, so maybe that’s just the nature of the bag and glazing. Apparently it costs $300 to repair so it doesn’t seem like Moynat has a warranty like Chanel, for example. This is the second Moynat bag that I’ve had to repair and my collection is only two years old :sad:

Oh goodness, I’m so sorry to hear that. I can’t help but notice the timing too…you said these bags are both about 2 years old and, interestingly, it’s been almost exactly 2 years to the day since Knightly took over at Moynat. Others on this forum are much more in tune with the inner workings of Moynat, but my understanding is that Ramesh was a real stickler for quality and consistency when he was at the helm. Many feared that that attention to detail could falter after his departure. I really hope those fears aren’t materializing now under Knightly. It would be so tragic for Moynat to sink to LV‘s (poor) level of quality control. Goodness.

Interesting observation…the timing does overlap. I bought the tote and made my SO in June so I wonder when he actually left and stopped overseeing things and when the announcement was made of his departure. Come to think of it, I know my SO gaby was made post Ramesh. My tote was a newer arrival at my boutique but who knows when it was actually made. My other bags, with the exception of the ocean gaby, were made while he was still in charge and no issues with those so far. It’s safe to say I won’t buy anymore bags with glazing from any designer. Not worth the headache.

Oh no, I am so sorry to hear about this. It's upsetting and disappointing. Would you happen to have a picture? Will the bag be sent back to Paris for repair?
