I’ve had my Gabrielle mm since the store first opened here and she’s held up beautifully. I rotate my bags so I’ll wear her daily for 1-2 weeks. Being kind of a klutz and having the mm size, you’d think there would be more signs of wear but there’s none that are obvious to me.
Thanks so much for sharing! The extra metal protectors are a nice touch, but does that mean they may chip after all? I thought the black was infused in the metal?
I have owned my Gabrielle BB in black box leather since the end of 2019 and have been using her regularly (mainly on the weekends). The bag still remains in excellent condition with no signs of wear at all. The corners, contrast stitching, hardware and overall structure are in the same condition as when I received the bag. However, I am careful with all of my bags.
Thank you for the review about your Gabrielle.
I share your thought about the Ultra Black hardware. Is there a chance it might chip? I was told that the rings are precautionary. Though Moynat says the matte finish won’t peel or chip, could friction cause fine (black) scratches and a contact area smoothing, without the ring protectors? I’m curious if the matte metal is smooth or has a slight grittiness to it.
When I think of perfect black hardware (infused color), I think about my favorite Joseph Duclos bag.
This black hardware costs $$$$$ to create, yet is through and through black hardware.
No plating. The hardware is black.

You’re welcome! The GHW of Diane is a little blingy for me but that black HW Diane is gorgeous. If the all black Gabrielle had been produced during Ramesh’s time, I don’t know, maybe I’d be more confident in the black HW. Having to keep future repair costs in mind in addition to its price tag is a bummerThank you for the review about your Gabrielle.

I didn’t know there is no aftercare if you purchase through the Moynat website until a manager told me.You’re welcome! The GHW of Diane is a little blingy for me but that black HW Diane is gorgeous.

I’d consider the Ultra Black, but would order only through a store.
OMG if that's the case, that's insane! So you order a Rejane for £4k+ and they won't repair it at a later date??I didn’t know there is no aftercare if you purchase through the Moynat website until a manager told me.
