GOYARD: LUGGAGE-MAKER TO THE STARS
Goyard is a French luxury goods company founded in 1853 by François Goyard but with a history that dates back much further. The company began as a malletier – a maker of high-end trunks, storage boxes and luggage – by appointment to royalty and Courtisans. Their reputation for luxurious finishes and attention to detail marked them out as one of the pre-eminent labels which only those with the finest tastes (and the deepest pockets) were fortunate enough to own. The brand has grown steadily over the years to offer a wide range of high-quality leather goods, including luggage, handbags, and accessories. Goyard’s products are often identified by their distinctive chevron canvas pattern, a signature of the house, which was first introduced in 1892.
