Goyard is one of the oldest and most exclusive luxury trunk and leather goods makers in the world, founded in 1853 by François Goyard in Paris, France. The house actually traces its craftsmanship lineage even earlier, to 1792, when Pierre-François Martin opened a trunk-making workshop that eventually passed through the hands of the Goyard family. François Goyard elevated the brand into a symbol of discreet luxury, building a reputation through exceptional handcrafting, durable wooden trunks, and its signature painted canvas known as the Goyardine.
