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.
In the Moynat history, many creations begin with a beautiful rencontre or encounter, from the friendship between Pauline Moynat and Gabrielle Réjane in the late 19th century to artistic director Ramesh Nair’s creations for the musician Pharrell Williams.
Rejane
A symbolic bag of the Maison. It is named after the celebrated Belle Epoque actress and Moynat muse-Rejane. The delicate, feminine curves, perfect proportions and clean lines are enhanced by a rounded metal closure inspired by an Art Deco Moynat clasp. Its construction takes over 20 hours for an experienced artisan and its edges are painted and waxed 8 times to achieve the perfect finish.

The craftsman perform an angle stitching technique which reflects the excellence of our savoir-faire. Among this extraordinary family we can find the MIni-Vanity Perforated.
Gabrielle
The Gabirelle is a tribute to a legendary Belle Epoque actress. Gabrielle Rejane was Pauline's good friend, loyal customer and inspiring muse. Together they came to define a refined form of Parisian lifestyle. This handbag has a distinctive curved stitching that echoes the unique shape of the Limousine trunk. Its twist lock closure is shaped like an abstract letter M. More than a piece of decorative jewelry, it is a reminder of the hand at work in each creation of the house.
Pauline
The Pauline bag is a tribute to Pauline Moynat, the only known woman trunk maker. Designed with no metallic parts, this all-leather handbag is a voluptuous nod to the boot trunk, its curves echoing the shape of this historical creation.
