Maison E. Goyard was a very popular brand among the rich in the early part of the 20th century, with clients such as the Emperor of Russia, John D. Rockefeller, &amp; the Duke &amp; Duchess of Windsor.  In 1845, Francois Goyard started working with Morel in Paris, the trunk-maker who provided the Duchesse de Berry with her luggage, &amp; Goyard became the successor of that company in 1853.  Ever since, each Goyard piece is still completely handmade &amp; custom, unique pieces are still standard.
