Official MOYNAT Thread

[Mousy]

I looked online and I noticed some of the Rejanes are made in Italy, not just the canvas ones or accessories but one of the icons. I also noticed some say “Saddled stitched”, some doesn’t say anything. I wonder if they are really saddled stitched completely. Do you know if they ever were saddled stitched with Ramesh? I know only a few models are done entirely by hand at Joseph Duclos, some are machine stitched (at least part of the bag).

In early days, Moynat bags were hand stitched. Ramesh was the only one making the bags until he hired another craftsman. The two made bags for a while until the brand gained traction. Oh, to have bought one of the first few bags.
Some of today’s bags are hand and sewing machine stitched, and others are only sewing machine stitched.

Something is going on at Moynat. When I asked to order a Rejane in barenia, I asked if I could also customize the ends of a strap to also be in barenia so that it matches the bag. Boutique wrote that they will ask the atelier and get back to me. It's been 3 weeks. With this and the SO issue above, I'm kinda losing interest.

(maybe I'm not meant to buy bags this year)

My SO took several weeks (2016). I hope you hear back soon.

Moynat ships. Your SA will text photos of the bag you want. If you decide to purchase, you pay your area’s sales tax and a shipping fee (not too bad for shipping). The bag can be overnighted by FedEx or UPS.

Thank you.

I meant to write my request took several weeks.

I think we have some time.

They are clearly investing in craftsmanship. (The new handmade straps are TDF.)

Anyone own the gabrielle clutch? Hows the wear and tear and pros and cons?

I’m planning on buying my first JD bag soon. I missed out on the early Moynat bags, so I refuse to miss out on any future Ramesh designs.

For year’s I loved Moynat’s designs and exclusivity. I knew a few people (creative dept. and management) at Moynat before the big turnover. I’m kind of out of the loop now.

As for JD — I think Ramesh made beautiful creative decisions at Moynat. JD has a different vibe, but is beautiful, too. I want to buy JD before they gain traction.

A few years ago, Moynat moved into a larger atelier in France, yet has recently moved several bag designs to atelier/factories in Italy. My guess is LVMH factories in Italy+. Check the ‘Made in ____’ labels.

I just checked my Rejane I bought from Paris last week and it’s Made in Italy. Didnt even bother to check it at the store, I just assumed they were all made in France

when you look at Rejanes from the website, it says in the Product Details that "This product is either Made in France or Italy"

speaking of Rejanes, the barenia Rejane PM from the website is gone. I guess it cannot be ordered anymore. oh well.

It’s a beautiful bag and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it for many years to come.
This will sound ridiculous to some of you, but I’m going to say it anyway. I’m a Francophile. I admit it. I join all the other Francophiles and Gallophiles out there who are saddened by the diminishing French atelier made bags across several brands.

Saw it now too! The Rejane has always been on my list - never even bothered to check online if they changed where the bags are made
