Grinnell used original Goyard leather featuring the iconic monogrammed pattern of the fashion house’s logo to create a gorgeous sheath as well as tassels that house and decorate a [large cutlass](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/damascus). The large blade made from stainless steel and the sheath is painted with yellow, black and green stripes symbolizing the Jamaican flag. The customized leather adds a luxurious design to the sword, infusing the Jamaican symbolism with a modern design that is most often seen on the handbags and wallets created by the French fashion house. The Goyard blade design is currently on display at Miss Lily’s restaurant. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Customized Weaponry:** Opportunity for artists and designers to create unique and personalized weapon designs using high-quality materials. - **Luxury Accessories:** The integration of high-end fashion materials and designs into everyday objects presents a disruptive opportunity for luxury branding and customization. - **Cultural Fusion:** Exploring the incorporation of cultural symbols and motifs into non-traditional items, creating unique and meaningful hybrids. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can tap into the market of customized weaponry for collectors and enthusiasts seeking unique pieces. - **Fashion and Luxury Goods:** Luxury brands can expand their offerings by incorporating their iconic designs and materials into non-traditional luxury accessories. - **Hospitality and Restaurants:** Restaurants and hospitality businesses can enhance their branding and create immersive experiences through the integration of customized cultural elements. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Forged Sword-Like Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shirasagi-knife.md) - [Irish Butter-Branded Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kerrygold-x-allday-goods.md) - [Luxury Damasteel Utility Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/benchmade.md) - [Miniature EDC Sword Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/micro-katana.md) - [Collaborative Watchmaker Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shinola-x-giantmouse-brass-perlage-bleecker-knife.md) - [Lux Landscape-Inspired Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/benchmade-gold-class-mini-crooked-river.md) - [Minimalist EDC Dagger Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/copper-sheath-dagger.md) - [Graphic Novel-Honoring Pocket Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wesn-the-cell-shaded-allman.md) - [Specialized Knife Campaiggns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/musashi-japan.md)
