Goyard Furniture
French
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.

Large Goyard Cabin Trunk c1920 with interesting history
By Goyard
Located in London, GB
A fine Goyard cabin trunk with brass handles, circa 1920. The interior of the trunk has been re-lined to match what was there originally.
Dimensions: 112 cm/44 inches x 57 cm/22½ inches x 35 cm/13¾ inches
This trunk has an interesting history:
Most likely first acquired by William Mowatt Flook on his travels just after the First World War. Around 1936 Billy Flook then gave it to his niece, American, Dorothy Manning Dailey. She then used it for a European trip in the summer of 1936, with fellow ex Wellesley college class of 1932 graduate Ruth Banner. Afterwards, the trunk came back from England with Dorothy on the August 1936 voyage of the Queen Mary from Southampton to New York, when the famous ocean liner first captured the Blue Riband (awarded to the fastest ship to cross the Atlantic; she lost the title to SS Normandie in 1937, but recaptured it in 1938!) Dorothy recounted the episode saying that the moment they hauled anchor in Southampton they knew the ship was going for the ‘Blue Riband’ as she never stopped blowing her fog Horn...

All Goyard wallets, shoulder bags, totes and other goods are entirely handmade, a painstaking process that can take up to a few months per item. In addition, there is an exclusivity factor. Goyard produces only a limited number of bags each year, and demand for them is very high. This has a considerable effect on the price of these very durable and desirable accessories.
