Goyard Clothing
French
Few brands have stood the test of time as resolvedly as the French House of Goyard, a family-owned maker of luxury handbags, totes and accessories in chic and timeless styles and a vibrant array of colors. The internationally renowned bags were born out of the maison’s original business of making leather goods and other luxury travel wares — once the favorite of the French aristocracy, Goyard trunks are highly sought-after antiques today.
Originally known as House of Martin, the brand was founded in Paris in 1792 by trunk maker Pierre-François Martin. It quickly grew in distinction, and, in 1841, Martin hired and passed on the business to his employee, Louis-Henri Morel. In 1845, Morel himself hired a 17-year-old apprentice named François Goyard, who eventually took over and renamed the company Maison Goyard (House of Goyard).
François' son, Edmond Goyard, ushered the business into a new era when he became the head of the company in 1885. He focused increasingly on elite and international clientele to grow the brand's prestige. Edmond also created a "pet chic" line of Goyard dog collars and other accessories.
Perhaps the greatest accomplishment of the younger Goyard was the Goyard signature canvas, as seen on the iconic luxury Saint Louis tote. Durable, lightweight and waterproof, it features a distinctive "Y" pattern created from three chevrons or different shades. This revolutionary canvas laid the foundation for the modern brand.
A daring innovator, Edmond Goyard took the brand to the World Exposition of Paris in 1900 and won a bronze medal. Gold medals at the World Exposition of Milan and the Franco-British Exposition of London followed. Goyard continued showing at World Expos, bringing the house even more international acclaim and the attention of esteemed clientele like Pablo Picasso, John D. Rockefeller and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
In 1998, the maison was purchased by passionate Goyard bag and trunk collector Jean-Michel Signoles. With the help of his family, he re-established the brand as a purveyor of luxury bags that continue to garner recognition.

- What makes Goyard so expensive?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertJuly 31, 2024There are a couple of reasons why some shoppers may consider Goyard bags to be expensive.
First, the celebrated French fashion house works solely with sumptuous, costly materials like the proprietary water-resistant fabric Goyardine, which consists of fine natural fibers such as hemp, linen and cotton. All Goyard wallets, shoulder bags, totes and other goods are entirely handmade, a painstaking process that can take up to a few months per item. In addition, there is an exclusivity factor. Goyard produces only a limited number of bags each year, and demand for them is very high. This has a considerable effect on the price of these very durable and desirable accessories.

Skilled artisans produce each piece by hand through a process that takes about four weeks, and the lengthy manufacturing process means that Goyard can only make a limited number of bags each year. In addition, Goyard makes its bags available for sale through an official online website and limits customers to four annual purchases, increasing demand and further reducing supply.
