Moynat
Moynat is one of the oldest and most revered French trunk makers, preceding even Goyard and Louis Vuitton. After a period of dormancy, the house was revived to produce exceptional leather goods with a focus on artisanal excellence and unique designs.
Heritage
Founded by Pauline Moynat, the only female trunk-maker of her era, the house was famous for its innovations, including waterproof canvas and designs curved to fit the contours of early automobiles. Its revival has brought its rich history back to the forefront of luxury.
Craftsmanship
Moynat's ateliers are dedicated to preserving and perfecting traditional leather-working techniques. Their "angle-stitching" and leather marquetry are house signatures, requiring immense skill. Each piece is a testament to meticulous hand-craftsmanship.
Philosophy
Moynat champions discreet, personal luxury over overt branding. Their philosophy is one of structural integrity, beautiful materials, and elegant, intelligent design that celebrates the object itself rather than a logo.
