Moynat was one of the very first leather goods houses of its day. Known for its traditional know-how and skills base in handcrafting made-to-order luggage and travel goods, the house became famous for its designs for the automobile industry, as well as for its technical innovations such as making its trunks lighter and waterproof, and for its notable participation in the various World's Fairs.
Moynat was a competitor to some of the biggest trunk makers (most notably LV) and there is no denying its quality when you look at pieces like this exceptionally made early 20th century leather suitcase fitted with all the wants and needs for the gentleman of the time. Moynat offers the finest craftsmanship, and this example is no exception. See less
