Official MOYNAT Thread

Hi all. A couple of weeks ago I cold called the NY number and got in touch with a nice SA at the Saks location. (I didn’t know there were 2 locations in NY.) I got a limousine bb and a wallet. They arrived and I’m really floored by the simplicity, beauty, and function of both pieces.

I think the new tote design is okay. I like that what they did differentiates the totes from the neverfull. That is, it doesn’t look as much like the neverfull anymore.
 
I've been watching The Crown and admiring Liz and Maggie's bags. Asprey and Lauer seem possible standbys for certain models if Moynat goes sideways. (Probably not the same quality and fustier designs but I'm getting older, not younger, so that's maybe OK.)
I’ve liked Launer for years. Their customizations service seems excellent. If it’s good enough for the queen, ... :smile:

Would be interested in hearing your thoughts on the limousine bb after you use it! It's been on my list but haven't gotten to see one in person yet. I like bags that can be handheld and cross body.
 
Ahhhh! Ive had these for a week and forgot to post them. One thing I noticed is Moynat’s perfect workmanship. The edges (on the Limos) are even, and the opening shows, the top is perfectly aligned with the bottom (front). These look great!

Thanks for sharing. The color and hardware combo on the Gaby BB are gorgeous! :love: Do you know if the bag is still available and whether the combo is seasonal or permanent? Thanks!
 
Yay, congrats! First delivery took one week as FedEx had to process my custom form. Most recent purchase took 4 days (literally over the weekend)...I want whatever passport our bags have:P


Thanks for sharing! I have been wondering what the process is like to purchase from outside of the US.
Do you mind sharing the how much fees/taxes you were charged? (Or the rate if it's easiee?)

Based on reading some of the earlier posts and some research, it seems like it's around 3-15%? It's a somewhat wider range, so I was wondering what's a more realistic expectation?

Thanks so much!


Thanks!
 
My Danse PM came in! Shipping was super fast (FedEx Intl Priority). I haven't gotten the customs invoice yet, but I assume it'll be about 8% (my state's sales tax rate).

As far as the leather quality goes, it looks great. They added the piping as well as some side snaps that I don't remember being on the older model. As far as the workmanship, the stitching is as neat as ever, but I did notice some stray glazing(?) on the pointed parts of the strap. I do recall this same issue on my Rejane Perfecto though, so I'm willing to chalk this up to the nature of handmade bags than anything else.

On the cognac strap, I did notice some slight imperfections that I'm willing to let slide due to the nature of barenia leather. This is my first bag with any barenia on it, but from what I understand this is pretty normal even for brand new bags. I did put some leather protectant and sprayed it (Lovin my Bags and Cadillac Leather spray respectively) and though it's still a bit noticeable, it's not as much. The leather did darken slightly but not much at all (added a before and after and you can barely tell which is which).

From memory this bag is slightly heavier than the older nubuck PM, but otherwise still very light and holds a lot. The strap is pretty soft and comfortable out of box and doesn't require breaking in.

Other than the glazing thing, I'm very satisfied with this bag. It hasn't completely resolved my doubts about the designs going forward, but I think all the updates they made to the Danse PM made sense without detracting any functionality or looks. I added a mod shot (sorry for the outfit, I'm still in my PJ's lol) for reference.
