Moynat and Pharrell create The Innovative Train Collection of clutches

The House of Moynat needs no introduction and neither does “Happy” man William Pharrell. When these two power houses of talent decide to team up the result can only be unique. Last October William Pharrell visited the Moynat atelier and was quite taken in by the image of a train on a vintage trunk. No marks for guessing what followed.

Together they have come up with a fascinating collection of four bags including the ebony clutch, a hand tooled mini audiere and 2 pochettes in different sizes available in a variety of 7 colours. They are shaped like a vintage steam engine. The Train Bag and the Train Clutch as they are called are crafted from hand tooled acrylic resin or hand carved ebony.

Every minute detail has been looked into the designing of these bags and no expenses spared. The result are the bags with the brass smokestack, side rods, a steam dome clasp et al.
