Adding some thoughts after having a lovely day out with my Flori yesterday. I got it with the original strap earlier this year, which is wider, non adjustable, and a little shorter than I would like for crossbody. I believe the newer versions are now adjustable and my amazing SA ordered one for me from Paris and shipped it to me at no cost. (More on the amazing service in a moment). I will note that the leather of this strap is a little bit thinner than those of my other M bags and I think the hardware is just a smidgen different (?lighter weight) but it's really hard to tell. This bag is great, holds essentials, not heavy, love the top handle as well.
I discovered Moynat at the SCP store in California, but live on the East Coast. The service and attention from my SA epitomizes what luxury shopping should be, I get occasional texts and pics of new arrivals, texts wishing me a happy holiday, an occasional small gift, quick reply to any questions, and invites to store events even though I'm not even local - all with a cheerful, zero pressure to buy, just a happy "glad you love our brand" vibe. Honestly it's a total contrast to the shopping experience at that other luxury house* many of us journey to.
I have 4 M bags currently. I missed the Ramesh era which is mourned on this thread (and I do like the older designs more) but have to say that I love my Moynat experience so much - always checking out which next beautiful bag might come home with me but also feeling valued as a customer and enjoying the SA relationship. It's fun!

Will that ban also include sales of pre-loved products? I own a Gucci croc bag from Tom Ford’s last collection with the brand — bought just 18 months ago.

Hmmm, that's a good question. Honestly, I don't know.
I suppose if we were to just look at it in the most basic and straightforward way possible: selling is selling. whether it's re-selling or selling new or used, at the end of the day, something is being sold. So, technically, that may be a no. For selling exotics within in the state of California, but there is the possibility of selling out of state?

I was doing a bit of research on it yesterday and I haven't found a clear answer. :hrmm:

Apparently the state of California has been going back and forth on the shipments and selling of exotics for quite some time, from 2019-2020. And one site said it was supposed to start in January 01, 2022.

But then it doesn't seem to be well enforced...Maybe they're just starting to enforce it now?

My guess would be yes, pre-loved sales will be banned as well since the existing California ban on python products includes resellers. Right now python can‘t transfer into or out of the state of California (it’s strict too - technically, even if the seller is not in CA and the buyer ships it to an address outside of CA, if the buyer’s billing address is within CA, the sale is considered illegal). As @lill_canele noted, in 2019 the state legislature voted to ban croc and alligator product sales, which was supposed to be effective Jan 1, 2020, but retailers and alligator farms fought it and won a temporary reprieve. It sounds like that reprieve is ending now (which also might explain why Fashionphile, a California based company, suddenly started to discount a lot of their exotics).

Lovely Flori, what color is it? Thanks for sharing your experience, the customer service indeed hasn't changed (at least in my experience, even if my original SA has already left M for another brand) and I love that about Moynat. My new lovely SA had also offered me a choice between the original wider, shorter Flori strap and the newer one which is adjustable and a bit thinner. I ended up choosing the original strap because I have quite a short torso anyway and I prefer the sleeker, cleaner look without the buckle, but I totally agree that the newer, adjustable strap is still more versatile. (I figured I had enough adjustable straps with my other M bags!) I'm sharing the photo here for everyone's reference in case anyone else comes into the same dilemma.

Was out with a friend but stopped by Moynat.
My SA said that California will be banning the sale of exotic leathers by the end of this year.

These 2 beauties are in South Coast Plaza if anyone is interested.

Those are super gorgeous exotics!! The Gabrielle goes so well with your outfit and is really more of a contemporary yet still timeless look, while the Rejane dresses it up even more with the old world/glam vibes of this bag -- it's really all those pretty curves and shapes on the bag. So lovely, thanks for sharing! :loveeyes:

Hello everyone, hope you're all doing well.

Does anyone have a Gaby BB to compare with either a Josephine PM or Gabrielle reporter (in terms of size and what can fit)? I have my heart set on a Gaby PM (black with palladium) but I think they are not coming very often (if at all) on resale sites, and are not available from Moynat. I have found a overseas store with a black Gaby BB, and I'm considering it a fair bit.

I have a Josephine PM and a Gabrielle Reporter. I've seen dimensions and it seems a fair bit close to the Reporter, but with side leather folds of Gaby, I'm not sure if the capacity is similar (or less) than the Reporter.

Thanks a lot :heart:

I only have the BB but here is an old post of what fits, in case that helps.

Official MOYNAT Thread

Hi! Does anyone have a Gaby bb? Could you please take a photo or tell me what fits in the bag? I carry two key fobs, a small card case, a soft-sided case with my reading glasses, an iPhone X, an Auvi-Q epinephrine injector, and a small packet of disinfectant wipes. It all fits in a Gucci...

Does anyone own the wheel bb? If so, does it fit a phone?

I’ve always really liked circular bags, but haven’t found a design I like that fits a phone. I especially like hard-sided bags, which always seem extra small.

I think Gaby BB fits more than the reporter, it fits quite a bit for a mini bag.

I've tried it on in stores. It fits my iPhone 13 mini.

I doubt it would fit a regular pro or plus size phone.
