calling my name...
There is something about this image
that reminds me of
Paris in the Fall~
Perhaps it is the warm parisian colors.
Or maybe the ever so luxurious
that originated in
Paris.
I love vintage French luggage...
to just imagine where it has been
and with whom~
I was excited to find the way this
trunk is boxed in lucite. Image found from
It offers a perfect juxtaposition of
old and new~
The hardware, the worn leather
&
old musky hemp lining drives ME nuts!
But there is a little voice that echos in my head,
Especially when I walk the streets of Paris....
Goyard
calls my name over and over again....
Goyard is made and all handpainted
only in France...
Many of the new
Louis Vuitton's are now made in
California & China.
I was able to capture a picture through the
window of Goyard. It is
The Duchess of Windsor's
actual Goyard trunk that is
on display in the store at
233 Rue Saint Honore, Paris France.
One may choose stripes or initials
to be hand painted on their bag
to personalize as their very own~
The very uber chic
waited for her personalized bag...
When it returned from Paris
{all initials & stripes are painted in Paris}
Barney's loved the color
so much, they ordered a store display
of the same~
Remember Hollister Hovey's was first
to have this color combo!
The only Goyard Store
in the United States
is located in downtown San Francisco.
that carries Goyards.
My two daughters,
Noel & Jeanna in front of
Goyard in Paris after their
first exciting purchase~
It was a moment to remember!
This old Goyard trunk was
found at a local flea market here
in California!!
My
Noel spotted & bought it before we
even knew what a Goyard was!!
She bought it just because
she loved it!
The trunk is dated 1873~
I came home from my trip to Paris with my
first bag... this is when
she realized, she had a
Vintage Goyard trunk!!
My purchase last year ...
It is a cat carrier with my initials
on it.
I chose a very large & bold
lettering to match my collection below~
This is my tote and wallet with matching
navy blue & white stripes.
I love the nautical colors because
they are crisp & simple~
The first top photo is a few favorites of my vintage
pieces I use in my house~
I love the subtle simplicity that a piece of
old French luggage gives to a home.
O.K. Yes, this is a confession right now...
I think am a bit obsessed with Goyards.
It must be the history
and the fact that they are so authentic.
They are so mysterious to me~
Just for fun...
When I go to Paris this fall
Would you like me to bring you back a
Goyard
or
Louis Vuitton?
