Indeed, this field of activity was very masculine like Louis Vuitton or Goyard. But his energetic and creative character, in the midst of the Parisian Belle Époque, led him to throw himself headlong into the design and production of luxury luggage and trunks. She has been able to take into account the changing tastes and needs of her customers.
