Yes it’s still a beautiful bag ❤️ I was just really surprised since my older bags were Made in FranceIt’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.

Agreed 100%. The only reason to make them in Italy is to increase production without having to take the risk of increasing the workshop footprint in France.It’s a beautiful bag and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it for many years to come.

"French savoir-faire" I believe was a key concept in the brand launch and Ramesh era. Hard to say that with a straight face when outsourcing production to Italian workshops that are also producing LV and god knows what else.
I am too. I can't buy any bag that is not made in France (well I can, but I prefer French made bags). After reading comments here recently, I am even happier I got my hands on my Quattro. I love it more than I thought I could love a used bag. Its up there with my Jypsiere. If there was a fire and I could only grab one bag, it would grab the J, but the Q would be close.It’s a beautiful bag and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it for many years to come.

My heart will always be with Moynat. It was my first lesser-known luxury brand.Im curious to know though - knowing this, will you ladies still buy Moynat bags? Or are we all moving to JD?
I want to own at least one JD bag because the workmanship is amazing, the designs are my style, the leather is yummy, and the bags are made in France.
I like Peter Nitz’s designs, too. His bags are made in Zurich and his leather comes from Hermès tanneries.
Hermès owns my pocketbook. I have a wishlist made up of seven handbags, four are Hermès.
I’m leaving myself open to Moynat, especially the Gabrielle clutch, but the company has stiff wishlist competition.
Curtis eye candy — Gabrielle clutch in the color eggplant.
This bag/color is on my wishlist. Leather feels/ looks like Hermes rouge sellier.
What do you mean by Moynat has a stiff wishlist competition?My heart will always be with Moynat. It was my first lesser-known luxury brand.

Hermès — Bolide 31 in Etoupe or Etain
Jypsiere 28 in Noir
Evelyne pm or Halzan 31 (fun pop of color)
Kelly 28 Retourne or Kelly Danse II (Neutral color/phw) I’ve been waiting for almost a year. Too
expensive pre-owned.
JD — Diane messenger bag or Saint-Clair or Saint-Clair Cuir (if it comes in a larger size in the future). I
theSaint-Clair in Khaki.
Moynat — Camera bag (Peach leather)
Gabrielle clutch (Noir or Eggplant)
I want the Peter Nitz Lorin someday. I reeeeeealllly like the Newey, but even the 30cm’s dimensions tell me the Newey is too much bag for my needs.
Stiff competition — I have a number of bags on my wishlist I’ll probably purchase before I get another Moynat. I’m limiting myself to one or two bags a year. Handbag prices are eye-popping!
I remember when my LV Neverfull mm was ~$500, my Chanel Jumbo was ~$2000, and the Gabrielle bb was ~$2500. My Moynat Limousine (2016) was under $2000. Ah, the good ol’ days.

I really like the JD Saint-Clair in Khaki too, but it's €800 more expensive than the normal colour - for this difference, I would need to see the bag in person to see how much I like the colour, since the difference is LIMITED EDITION, then Khaki has to be the colour which I fall in love with.
Also the new Saint-Clair Mini Clutch is quite a cutie too!
agree. green is one of my favorite colors but I really cannot justify the €800 especially when the one with the blue flap looks more like the limited edition one. I'm looking forward to seeing them in person. my December Paris trip can't come soon enough

I highly recommend the JD Diane messenger - it's a great size and the hardware is TDF! (I haven't posted mine yet but will try to do so over the weekend).
Peter Nitz’s work is fantastic and he is a very nice person. I’m actually thinking about the PJ for my next bag - it’s similar to the shape of the JD saint-Clair.
Yes! Please post your JD! Did you get the black?
Yes, Peter Nitz seems nice (though I only know him via E Mail).
If anyone has a Moynat leather messenger, please comment on it. Photos, too!
