In 1642, during the reign of French Emperor Louis XIII, the Tissot family added the name of their ancestor "Dupont" to their surname. In 1872, 25-year-old Simon Tissot-Dupont began to establish his personal career in prosperous Paris. He decided to focus on manufacturing leather goods and handbags and achieved great success. He even named the traditional luggage "briefcase" for the first time, which was very popular among the aristocrats and gentlemen of the time and became a trend. In 1884, Simon Tissot-Dupont was praised as a master of contemporary leather goods design by the Louvre magazine, a model of fashion trends at the time. The handbags he created were also highly praised by the leather craftsmen of the time and became a model of European famous brands.
