MOYNAT

Pauline Moynat, a visionary and the only woman trunk-maker in history, founded Moynat in 1849, and soon made the house the most Parisian among the French leather goods and trunk makers of her time.Founded at the time of the establishment of the French railway system, the house registered innumerable patents, especially for train luggage. Later as a pioneer in the automobile adventure, Moynat specialized in custom-made trunks that fitted the contours and were matched to the colour of the car body. The most famous example is the Limousine trunk patented in 1902, and never copied.
