Founded in Paris in 1849, Moynat stands as one of the oldest and most discreet French luxury leather-goods maisons. This richly illustrated volume by Assouline explores the pioneering legacy of Pauline Moynat, whose innovative trunks redefined elegant travel and established the house’s singular identity. 

Written by French journalist Anne Boulay, the book traces Moynat’s evolution through archival imagery, original photography, and a close look at its refined craftsmanship and distinctive use of color. Highlights include the maison’s artistic collaborations with contemporary creatives such as Kazumasa Nagai and Mark Hearld, which reinterpret iconic designs through fresh perspectives. 

Independent, understated, and deeply rooted in savoir-faire, Moynat is presented as a house that honors tradition while quietly shaping the future of luxury.
