In an exclusive interview for Moynat, Kazumasa Nagai reflects on the collaboration for the Holiday 2024 collection. ‘The skills of Moynat’s artisans are truly exceptional, the way the animals have been integrated into the bags, passport & card holders feels so lively, there is a sense of unity about them. I feel that the bag can become something that expands into the dreams for those who would carry it.’ - Kazumasa Nagai about Moynat's savoir-faire. #Moynat #MoynatKazumasaNagai

Moynat Holiday 2024 collection in collaboration with legendary graphic designer Kazumasa Nagai celebrates his iconic 'Life' series and features a selection of his artworks printed on limited editions handbags, charms, card holders, passport and notebook covers. The collection combines Moynat’s expertise in leather goods with playful artworks of lions, chimpanzee, owl, starfish, octopus and whale shark in bold colours of red and blue. ‘Animals come in all shapes and varieties; they co-exist with one another. I focused on the life inside me and how it was consistent with the animals. I didn’t draw them realistically; they were all from my world expressed in a simple way with a sense of curiosity and cuteness.  My aim was to energise people and create something that symbolises it, that is the Life series.’  Kazumasa Nagai about the ‘Life’ series. The association of Moynat’s craftsmanship and savoir-faire with Kazumasa Nagai’s artworks results in a dynamic expression of color and creativity. ‘The skills of Moynat’s artisans are truly exceptional, the way the animals have been integrated into the bags, passport & card holders feels so lively, there is a sense of unity about them. I feel that the bag can become something that expands into the dreams for those who would carry it.’ Kazumasa Nagai about collaborating with Moynat. #Moynat #MoynatKazumasaNagai

Moynat was established in 1849 as a House specialized in trunk making. Its founder, Pauline Moynat, invented the "English Trunk" as early as 1873. First trunk to be coated in gutta-percha, a then newly-discovered vegetal gum from Indonesia. This revolutionary waterproof canvas becomes a major pillar of the House’s reputation of innovation and technical excellence. In the early 1900s the 'M' monogram, newly introduced by Henri Rapin, was hand-painted on the trunks canvas immediately recognizable as the signature of the House. The M collection is the latest expression of our archive monogram, a fusion between the House’s traditional heritage and ongoing commitment to contemporary innovation. Abby Champion and He Cong shot by Oliver Hadlee Pearch, this series highlights the essence of Moynat’s canvas with a focus on movement, liveliness and color. #Moynat
