The Maison Goyard, founded in 1853 in Paris by François Goyard, is known to be the oldest and most prestigious trunk maker in existence. From being the favorite luggage maker of the prestigious aristocratic families, who would adorn their trunks with their coats of arms, Goyard moved towards being an international brand with an impressive reputation amongst their high-profile clientele which adopted the famous painting canvas in the motives of chevrons.
