Old french label comes to town

Moynat, once a favorite of elite Parisians, was revived quietly in 2011. The brand now makes a quiet entry into Beijing. Chen Jie reports.

Two years ago, a 17-year-old French girl visited Paris. She stood in front of the window of the Moynat store at Rue Saint Honore and was fascinated by the bags there. So, she entered the boutique and asked for a job.

Ramesh Nair, Moynat's creative director, spoke to her on the phone and asked her what her qualifications were.
