Moynat: Discreet Perfection

The assumption is if you have heard of Moynat, you would never question the price point. But chances are you haven't...

The illustrious French malletier (luggage maker), founded in 1849, is just slightly older than its fashion revival contemporaries: Louis Vuitton(1854) and  Goyard (1853). Moynat was one of the very first leather goods houses of its day. Known for its traditional know-how and skills base in handcrafting made to order luggage and travel goods, the house became famous for its designs for the automobiles, as well as for its technical innovations such as making its trunks lighter and waterproof.

LVMH acquired Moynat in 2010 and relaunched operations in December 2011. A boutique was opened at 348 rue Saint-Honoré (down the street from Hermes). Although practically no one knew of the brand's existence prior to the relaunch, Moyant is practices in discreet perfection and illustrated in this awe inspiring craftsmanship video below...

the best purchase i EVER made

i fell in love with the Jimmy Choo Mona bag when it was first released. it was large enough for every day things, and yet it could STILL expand. awesome.

totally punky, totally chic, and classy. how could a black bag be so much?? i needed it, i lusted for it... i HAD to have it. so i waited until the summer (last summer) and got myself a mona bag.

i wore it all fall and winter and the quality never failed. i still love it, but it's been hiding in its dust bag all summer...

i can't wait to break it out again. it's probably sad i feel this way about a handbag.

So I have to admit that I have a soft spot for hobos... no matter how bad they can look with one heavy object on them.

Then, I found this treesje bag. Hudson, in the colour wheat. I fell in love. Not only are neutral colours so in right now, but they're guaranteed to match just about anything. So spring and summer, yet serious enough for fall and winter.

"The Hudson is the new standard for perfectly sized, perfectly fashionable hobo bags. With a braided handle, Italian gold hardware, zipper detail and fold-over magnetic closure, it not only holds all your belongings, but gives an amazing silhouette and functionality to the bag. With an inside zipper pocket and cell phone holder, you will never be digging around again. The Hudson is a must have for the weekend warrior! "

I think it's calling my name. Too bad its $635.

handbags galore!

I'm LOVING Mat & Nat.

Not only do they use vegan leather and 100% recycled suede for their bags, but their designs are incredibly chic. Their white bags are looking sooo hot for summer. Bluefly is featuring some of their bags, but they are cheaper on the Mat & Nat website.

My favourite white "leather" goodies are: ceremony, koolhaas, piano, and pulp.
