MOYNAT OPENS A FRESH PAGE WITH NICHOLAS KNIGHTLY

Moynat – a name that belongs to Pauline Moynat, the first and only woman to bring feminine flair to the male-dominated metier of luxury trunk-making at the height of the Belle Epoque - opens a fresh page in the beautiful story of our house.

Creative Director Nicholas Knightly has stepped over the threshold of the Maison to write a new chapter into the feminine, hand- crafted savoir-faire tradition that have been part of the brand since 1849.

“Moynat was the equivalent in trunks and bags of the haute couture in fashion, exquisitely crafted to the individual customers exacting requirements”, Knightly says. “The level of inherited quality and craft is exceptional here, and I find it so inspiring to collaborate with the artisans in the Moynat atelier. Passing the pots of paint lined up in every colour imaginable ready to personalise someone’s dream order is a real joy.”

Made hand-in-hand with the artisans who work in the Moynat ateliers, the creations are a modern exploration of the authentic inheritance of a Parisian luxury Maison which has been discreetly producing its delightful treasury of bespoke products for modern travellers.

With his eyes open to the astonishingly inventive secrets held in the archives, Knightly and the house specialists are working to transport all the pleasures of the skills, the curves, and the inimitable stamp of Moynat to craft new creations for today’s generation to carry into the world.
