History

Established in 1853 by François Goyard, the house originated from the Maison Martin, founded in 1792. It is among the oldest trunk makers in Paris. The signature Goyardine pattern, introduced in 1892, references the family’s history as log drivers. Throughout the twentieth century, the brand served a client base of royalty and artists. It remains a privately owned entity, characterized by a limited global retail presence and the absence of e-commerce.
