Leather goods
At the end of 2010, Nair was invited by LVMH to be artistic director for Moynat, a trunk maker and leather goods’ House that had been dormant for 30 years.[6] Alongside the creative aspects of the work, he took on the entire reconstruction of this heritage house: research and reconstitution of archives, [7]acquisition of vintage products, determination of the strategic positioning and storytelling of a brand that had previously specialised in automobile trunks.[8][9]
