Back in the day when the Goyard family still were driving firewood logs on the Yonne and Seine rivers from the forests of the Morvan to Paris, all “Compagnons de Rivière”, as these waterway log drivers were called, made sure not to leave without a versatile, hard-wearing & waterproof bag where they would keep all their personal belongings, not just for the outward leg of the journey, but also for the return one, as they would routinely walk back home all the way from Paris for 200 kms.
As a tribute to the “Compagnons de Rivière”, whose legacy is very much alive in today’s Maison Goyard, the Goyard workshops crafted the Bohème, a spirited hobo bag inspired by the humble haversack they favoured.
Light & soft yet sturdy, bohemian and carefree, yet sophisticated, the Bohème bag is one you’ll reach for everyday: light and soft, but roomy enough to fit all your essentials, its extra-long and comfortable leather handle emulates its elongated and elegantly slouchy silhouette, and doubles up as a strap to wear the Bohème indifferently as a shoulder bag or a hand bag.
Combining timeless craftsmanship & contemporary functionality, the Bohème bag offers the best of both worlds with plenty of understated yet crucial details, such as the emblematic removable pouch to be tied to the handle, or the discreet zipper complete with a “G”-shaped pull tab, making it an unmistakably Goyard creation.
To celebrate the birth of this new contemporary classic that embodies a certain wandering Chic under the sun or under the stars, Maison Goyard commissioned a series of short animation films whose first chapter “Fair-Weather Days” is to be discovered on this site and our social networks.
