IdentityMOYNAT

Amongst all the wondrous characteristics of the Parisian leather goods Maison founded in Paris in 1849 lies this one extraordinary fact: its name belongs to Pauline Moynat, the first and only woman to bring feminine flair to the male-dominated metier of luxury trunk-making.Historically, the Maison’s renaissance began parallel to the industrial boom with the invention of stylish travel trunks that redefined the art of traveling. From its 1873 English Trunk to the archetypal 1902 Limousine Trunk, which was customizable to cars’ bodies, Moynat’s close link to automobiles was only matched by the inspiration it drew from Belle Époque Paris and the creative world around it.Two centuries later, Moynat continues its pioneering spirit. Through the mastery of traditional haute maroquinerie and innovative techniques, modern pieces are finished with exacting detail and uncompromising savoir-faire. Within this history lies a freedom of individuality to every Moynat creation.

THE OH! TOTE

Crafted from Canvas 1920 M monogram, this emblematic shape is adorned with new tri-coloured heritage ribbon - an artful detail that has been reimagined the archives. The leather trim handles are embellished with a round wheel-shaped detail, paying homage to the Maison's expertise in crafting bespoke automobile trunks.

THE GABRIELLE CLUTCH

Echoing the curved, sleek lines of Moynat’s historic Limousine Trunk, the Gabrielle Clutch bag is a discreet update to a signature shape of the Maison and a parallel of the city of Paris. Embellished with the distinct, M-shaped twist lock clasp and a removable strap for different ways of wearing.
