Since 1976
Voyageur 1976 traces its roots back to Moura Cuir, founded in 1976 in the cultural heart of Montreal as a small leather workshop. Built by a passionate artisan dedicated to handcrafted quality and locally sourced materials, the business quickly earned a reputation for exceptional craftsmanship and trusted service. From the beginning, one philosophy guided the company: local roots, global vision.
Growing within Montreal’s vibrant neighborhoods—especially around Saint-Hubert, long known for leather craftsmanship and fashion retail—Moura Cuir became recognized for its quality leather bags, travel accessories, and commitment to durability. By the early 1980s, the phrase “100% Canadian Owned Since 1976” became a signature of the brand and remains an important part of our identity today.
As customer needs evolved, so did we. Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, Moura Cuir expanded beyond leather goods, broadening its selection to include modern luggage, backpacks, business bags, and innovative travel accessories. With the rise of global travel and e-commerce, the company adapted by embracing new materials, smarter designs, and products built for today’s travelers.
Today, this evolution continues under a new name: Voyageur 1976.
The name Voyageur reflects who we have become—a destination for modern travel essentials designed for every kind of journey. While our name has changed, our foundation remains the same. We continue to be proudly 100% Canadian-owned, carrying forward nearly five decades of expertise in quality, functionality, and customer care.
Today, Voyageur offers a curated selection of premium luggage, backpacks, business bags, and travel accessories from trusted brands including Samsonite, Victorinox, Travelpro, and NOBL Travel.
At the heart of Voyageur remain the same principles that shaped Moura Cuir in 1976: quality craftsmanship, long-lasting durability, and an exceptional customer experience.
