Hello Moynat fans! I would just like to ask if someone has tried to order a Rejane in Cognac Natural Calfskin a.k.a. barenia. I sent them a message and they told me that the minimum wait time after placing an order for this bag would be 10 months (feels very Hermès Horizon to me). Has anyone tried to place an order? Did it actually take 10 months? Anyone who experienced something longer/shorter?

Thanks :biggrin:

I did several years ago (Ramesh era). I think I was quoted something like six months and it ended up being like four or so. The reason given was that there were so few skins that Ramesh approved from the tannery (like 1 in 3) that it naturally caused a delay in availability beyond the general scarceness of that leather.

IMO it was worth the wait, but I cannot speak to the current operations.

Do you have an SA?

Thanks for your reply.

No, I don't have an SA. I'm ordering directly from Paris via their website. The lady I'm talking to said she will send me a secure link where I can pay, if I agree to have the bag made.

Did you pay in full when you ordered your bag?

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.

Yes I paid in full in advance, which has always been their standard practice for special orders or orders of regular production bags that are not currently in stock. (If you are skittish about that, FWIW I can't imagine that if you are unhappy for any reason that they won't try to work with you to resolve it.)

Good luck! It's a great bag and a fantastic leather.

Thank you so much for the info. The boutique confirmed to me earlier that indeed it is full payment upon order.

I'm just waiting for H to get back to me for a Horizon quote (for a bag I want to be made also in barenia) before I could say yes or no to Moynat. Though Horizon only takes 50% downpayment upon order, I don't know if I'd be able to afford that and the Rejane at the same time lol

Exciting, in any case, that I will have my first barenia bag by next year <3

Ok, just to muddy the waters for you a bit - if you haven't considered these options:
  • Joseph Duclos (Ramesh's new home) - most of their bags are also natural calf and their colors, in addition to cognac, are amazing! The styles are not so akin to what Ramesh was doing at Moynat but IMO it's a nice evolution (but still elevated classic).
  • Peter Nitz works in fantastic leathers and exotics, and also offers barenia, which would give you the ability to do a fully custom bag without the H agita.
(There are threads on both of these if you haven't already reviewed.)

Looking forward to hearing how your Barenia quest turns out!

I have considered them both, actually.

Joseph Duclos is too expensive for me. I feel that if it’s priced like H, I’ll just buy H.

I’m waiting for Peter Nitz to make a pretty bag that fully closes, with a top handle and detachable strap. The mini dream bag in barenia he made is in that direction. I just want something that closes fully.

The Nitz Lorin does what you describe, though it may not be exactly what you are looking for.

I just bought an all leather Quattro from Vestiaire Collective! I have never bought from them, but the bag looked good (needs to go to the shop once I get it), the colors were beautiful, brown with a cream interior, and the seller looked like someone who buys nice bags, uses them, and then sells them. I have wanted this bag for years and have kicked myself for not buying it in Paris new when I had the chance. I'll post the bag when I get it!

Hello, just wondering what size are you looking for? I remember seeing one (I believe it's in the pm size) on display at the Paris boutique this past spring.
