M Obsessed: MOYNAT Paris
Is it the M worked so meticulously into every bag design? The colours you just cannot decide between? Or is all the shapes driving one to obsession? It is probably all of these, but all we know - we want these bags!
Moynat was established in 1849 as a House specialized in trunk making. Its founder, Pauline Moynat, invented the "English Trunk" as early as 1873. First trunk to be coated in gutta-percha, a then newly-discovered vegetal gum from Indonesia. This revolutionary waterproof canvas becomes a major pillar of the House’s reputation of innovation and technical excellence. In the early 1900s the 'M' monogram, newly introduced by Henri Rapin, was hand-painted on the trunks canvas immediately recognizable as the signature of the House.
The M collection is the latest expression of this archive monogram, a fusion between the House's traditional heritage and ongoing commitment to contemporary innovation. The collection is available in vibrant colours ranging from red, blue, green, yellow, orange to black and white, brown, and grey.
The iconic bag shapes from the House are reimagined; totes in small, medium, and large sizes,48h duffle bag, mini 48h, bucket bag, camera bag, besace bag, and in hard-sided versions like the little suitcase and wheel. Passport and cardholders, as well as address tags are also part of the collection.
The M collection is available at all Moynat boutiques worldwide.
