Moynat is a French luxury fashion company. Their first workshop was opened in Paris in 1849 founded by the trunk makers Octavie and François Coulembier. They team up with a specialist in travel items named Pauline Moynat, to open the first boutique on Avenue de l'Opéra. Moynat was one of the leading leather goods houses of its time. Known for its traditional know-how and its skills in the artisanal manufacture of bespoke luggage and travel items, the house has become known for its creations for the automobile, as well as for its technical innovations such as the lightening and waterproofing of its trunks, and for its participation in the various universal exhibitions.
