Timeline

  1. 1900

    Edmond Goyard's coated Goyardine canvas debuted at the World Exposition. Its slightly raised chevron pattern comes from the plain weave showing through layers of painted dots, which makes it hard to counterfeit.

  2. Today

    Goyard hand-paints customers' monograms, stripes or coats of arms onto the canvas, which the house offers in eleven colours. Wikipedia describes personalisation as Goyard's answer to the logo craze.
