About the Item

A Goyard courier trunk, completely original and with great character. Dating to the early part of the 20th century (circa 1900/1910) this trunk was finished with the famous chevron canvas and oozes character. A wonderful way of bringing a touch of high class fashion to any room. Over recent years the brand has been relaunched and has taken the world of fashion by storm. The original E. Goyard firm was a trunk maker which rivalled Louis Vuitton and the trunks it made at the time ooze the same quality and finesse as its (now) more famous competitor. This is a chance to own one of the best trunks available on the market both in terms of rarity and condition. Goyard is renowned luxury luggage and bag manufacturer, boasting a rich heritage dating back to 1853 when François Goyard founded the brand in Paris. Initially specializing in the creation of custom wooden trunks, the company quickly gained recognition for its exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. Over the years, Goyard has become synonymous with timeless elegance and discreet luxury. The brand's signature material is a distinctive hand-painted canvas, featuring the iconic chevron pattern, which sets Goyard apart in the world of high-end luggage. Remaining a family-owned business, Goyard has maintained its commitment to traditional craftsmanship and artisanal techniques. Today, the brand has expanded its offerings to include a wide range of meticulously crafted bags, from classic totes to chic clutches, all exemplifying the brand's commitment to quality and style. Goyard's presence has transcended its Parisian roots, with boutiques in major fashion capitals, solidifying its status as a global symbol of refined sophistication.

Goyard

Few brands have stood the test of time as resolvedly as the French House of Goyard, a family-owned maker of luxury handbags, totes and accessories in chic and timeless styles and a vibrant array of colors. The internationally renowned bags were born out of the maison’s original business of making leather goods and other luxury travel wares — once the favorite of the French aristocracy, Goyard trunks are highly sought-after antiques today.

Originally known as House of Martin, the brand was founded in Paris in 1792 by trunk maker Pierre-François Martin. It quickly grew in distinction, and, in 1841, Martin hired and passed on the business to his employee, Louis-Henri Morel. In 1845, Morel himself hired a 17-year-old apprentice named François Goyard, who eventually took over and renamed the company Maison Goyard (House of Goyard).

François' son, Edmond Goyard, ushered the business into a new era when he became the head of the company in 1885. He focused increasingly on elite and international clientele to grow the brand's prestige. Edmond also created a "pet chic" line of Goyard dog collars and other accessories.

Perhaps the greatest accomplishment of the younger Goyard was the Goyard signature canvas, as seen on the iconic luxury Saint Louis tote. Durable, lightweight and waterproof, it features a distinctive "Y" pattern created from three chevrons or different shades. This revolutionary canvas laid the foundation for the modern brand.

A daring innovator, Edmond Goyard took the brand to the World Exposition of Paris in 1900 and won a bronze medal. Gold medals at the World Exposition of Milan and the Franco-British Exposition of London followed. Goyard continued showing at World Expos, bringing the house even more international acclaim and the attention of esteemed clientele like Pablo Picasso, John D. Rockefeller and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.

In 1998, the maison was purchased by passionate Goyard bag and trunk collector Jean-Michel Signoles. With the help of his family, he re-established the brand as a purveyor of luxury bags that continue to garner recognition.
