One hundred years ago members of the British Royal family, the American President, the emperor of Russia were among those who placed their orders with Goyard Company. And nowadays many celebrities who prefer individuality to changeable fashion buy Goyard products. Classical models and high quality are the constituents of the brand’s success.

In the year 1853 Francois Goyard started his own suitcase and holdall production business. Soon the products began to enjoy wide popularity both in France and abroad. And after a time Goyard leather bags, suitcases and sponge bags decorated with characteristic geometric pattern were worn by the richest people in Europe.

In 1988 Goyard Company turned over a new leaf when the company’s management was passed into the hands of Jean-Michel Signoles who was a designer. He introduced bright colours, widened the range of models, which restored the slightly dwindled popularity of the brand.

The owners of Goyard Company have never spent money on advertising preferring to work for the charmed circle of customers. Among the patrons of Goyard brand are a lot of celebrities: Catherine Deneuve, Vanessa Paradis, Audrey Tautou, Sofia Carmina Coppola, Karl Lagerfeld, Hilary Duff, etc. Today exclusive Goyard suitcases and holdalls are as before evergreen bags.

The shape and colour can vary but the design is classical - leather decorated with an elegant geometric pattern and pretty big metal elements. Various women accessories are in demand as well. A Goyard bag and a Goyard purse of the same design that can be fastened to the suitcase handle with a leather strap are a success with women.

The company produces various special-purpose accessories, for example high-quality bags for animal carrying purposes, tailcoat and tuxedo trunks and golf bags. One can find completely exclusive things among Goyard production: Goyard trunks for celebrities engraved with their names, a white Goyard trunk filled with 100 collected books on fashion and design for true connoisseurs of French style, etc.
