Major eye candy from my SA. Anyone have experience with Moynat’s exotic skin pieces? How is the quality compared to other brands?

That is too bad.
But at least you still have a chance to get the bag if you still want it.
Meanwhile, we will find out if M will accept SO for the Gabrielle Reporter. If they do, that opens up more options
Have you thought about a Rejane clutch? I have one in peacock with palladium hardware and love it (along with every Rejane variation that Ramesh designed!) It has a really unique shape and its simple elegance works well for both day and evening in my opinion. I am happy to post photos if you are interested.
I am not trying to hijack a conversation meant for Yinglin, but can I join in? I am going through a similar decision-making process and it would be really helpful to see pictures of the Rejane clutch.
Do you mean the Rejane opera or the Rejane evening? If you are ok with sharing, it would be much appreciated.
I have the Rejane opera. Here are some quick photos including a comparison with my other favorite clutch the Hermes egee so you can get a better sense of the overall size and proportions. I hope this is helpful! Please let me know if you have any questions.

So do I!
I didn’t know natural calf was availble in so many colours. Storm looks gogeous.
Thank you! The size comparison is really helpful.
Do you find the lack of a strap/chain to be an issue at all?
I love the simple elegance of this clutch - if only I had a clutch lifestyle. The only thing hold me back on this was the lack of a chain/top handle. I'm clumsy and can totally see this flying out of my arm or forgetting it somewhere
It has not been an issue for me, but I am used to carrying clutches that do not have a strap. If you are seriously considering this style, 24S still has Rejane operas available in peacock and black at a discounted price of $1680 USD. They don't appear if you click on the Moynat link under their brands, but if you type "Moynat" into the search field you will see them. For some reason, they are listed as "Rejane Pouch" instead of Rejane Opera on 24S. If I didn't already have a black box egee that is similar in size, I would jump on this amazing price and buy the black one. I am still thinking about buying it even though I definitely do not need it - LOL! I cannot think of any other clutch with this caliber of design and craftsmanship that could be purchased for less.
It is definitely a personal preference in terms of what you are comfortable carrying. I don't like tiny clutches for the reasons that you mentioned. For me, I feel that this one is large enough for me not to lose track of it. The shape is really unique, but the Rejane evening would also be fabulous especially if you really prefer to have a strap. I am not sure if there are any of those still available or whether they were included in the legacy sale. If so, I would be tempted!I love the simple elegance of this clutch - if only I had a clutch lifestyle. The only thing hold me back on this was the lack of a chain/top handle.

Thank you for the tip!
Sadly, I seem to have missed the sale. The Rejane clutch shows up under a 24S search but not at a discounted rate. I think they had an “Ultimate10” Promo going on a few weeks back but this no longer appears under the bag.
Still, it’s an elegant bag and I am now torn between the Gabrielle Clutch and the Rejane Clutch. Given the lack of going out options for the foreseeable future, perhaps the Gabrielle Clutch makes more sense as it can also be worn as a crossbody bag?
Decisions, decisions...
The current $1680 price is discounted significantly from the original price for the Rejane opera. For all of the "legacy" styles that were put on sale in Moynat boutiques, 24S reduced the price online without indicating that they are "on sale" or that they had a higher price previously. It is the same for the Josephines and other styles that are still remaining on 24S - they are not designated as being on sale, but the prices are significantly reduced. I think most of them are currently in the range of 40-50% off of the original US prices. You are correct though that there was an "Ultimate10" promo on 24S recently. I don't know how often those additional discounts are offered. Maybe they will have a similar offer soon?
As for the Gabrielle vs. Rejane clutches, I would go with whichever one you think you would love most in the long term even if you don't think you will use it a lot in the coming months. We will be back to normal at some point and I hope that will be sooner rather than later. This past year has taken so much fun out of our everyday lives that I decided to start using my beloved bags again recently whenever I go out. They are meant to be enjoyed! I am just very careful with how I handle them to make sure that they are not damaged by hand sanitizer, water, etc. Using them makes me happy!
