What is it?

Exquisite Parisian luggage maker Moynat has designed a trunk specifically to fit the boot of the Jaguar F-type roadster. The F-type is a fantastic piece of engineering. But it has the luggage-carrying capacity of a paper bag. A kidney-shaped paper bag. So Moynat, which has a long history of making sexy trunks that match the contours of sexy vehicles, designed one that fits the F-type perfectly.

Who makes it?

Moynat is one of our favourite French brands. Founded in 1849, the luggage maker has a long history of making high-quality trunks with state-of-the-art material, techniques and design. The brand “went to sleep" in the 1970s before it was revived as recently as 2010 by LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault, for whom Moynat has become something of a pet project. According to some, Moynat is arguably the finest luggage maker in the world today.

How is it made?

Patiently. Each wooden trunk takes 900 man-hours to make. The superstructure is moulded from eight layers of wood and then enrobed in slate-grey leather. The inside of the box is then lined in Moynat’s signature orange hue. Pay close attention to the straps and clasps. The people at Moynat obsess over the clasps.

An Egret One E-Scooter. Each three-speed Egret scooter is powered with a Lithium-ion battery that offers a range of up to 23km. You could always leave the scooter at home and use the trunk for your own valuables. (But why would you?)

Why a scooter?

So you can park your Jag, and then flit along to your destination, weaving through traffic, feeling like a complete and utter and total boss.

How much does it cost?

The trunks start from £60,000 and are available exclusively at Moynat’s swanky new Mount Street Store in London. Buy the Jag, pick up the trunk, park the Jag, hop on the scooter. Happy days!
