Can’t get over how plasticky-tachy looking-feeling it is……..doesn’t really read luxury. When a friend bought one. For the longest time I thought she got it from TK Max for £20.
Because that tote everyone is buying is A BEACH BAG. And people buy it like it is a Neverfull. It is nooot. It is a beach bag. The canvas is super thin.
For me, nobody does canvas like LV. The canvas is very sturdy and durable. I've had my Speedy and other LV accessories for more than 20 years and they're still fine.
I would take LV over Goyard any day. Beside, not sure why people claimed it’s one of the “ quiet luxury” brands because I don’t know about others, I can spot Goyard with that boring pattern miles away.
Omg my friend received a goyard tote from her boyfriend at her bday dinner and when she unwrapped it I legit thought it was fake because of the plastic 😅 I just though “huh 🧐” and kept the thought to myself, glad I did 😂
Though the pattern is interesting, I cannot get down with spending that much for coated canvas, especially with the price secrecy/exclusivity. I’d rather save my coin for my loud luxury brands 🤩
Love my Goyard bags so much and they’re some of the most used in my collection for their ease and versatility. I mostly dress in black or solid neutrals, and I like the little punch the pattern gives. Have never had a problem with the handles cracking. Btw, H Lindy comes with plastic on the shoulder strap when fresh in store.
I have just discovered Ca$$ie & I’m so obsessed (don’t worry I’m too lazy to become a stalker). The fashion, the personality, the general fabulousness - I am here for all of it! ❤
@@CassieThorpe your TBE influenced me into the Prada Re-Nylon shoulder bag (in Tundra because she’s not like other girls 💅) soooo my future bankruptcy is partially your fault. Much love & thanks for all the quality content ❤️
My husband bought me 3 goyard bags over the last 5 years and I love it all . A white St. Louis in GM , a grey St. Louis in PM , and recently a burgundy Artois in PM ❤ it’s my everyday bags on rotation ❤
I had thought of buying one several months ago and revisited the shop again a few weeks later. The queue was around the block and that was an hour before opening! I decided it was not for me and instead purchased a beautiful leather Mulberry tote. Such brilliant quality.
It is a Y for the central letter in the Goyard family name. I just got my first Goyard in Paris and I love it. It’s beautiful and the quality and craftsmanship is great.
Went to the Goyard store on Rodeo and the manager was SOOO rude. He literally yelled at the security guard for letting our group of 5 in when the store was EMPTY. It's a hell no for me. My friend who went to the Paris store said the same - they don't care at all.
i love Goyard, most of their bags are super easy to travel with & their colors❤ I bought most of my bags & slg’s more than 10 years ago & sadly some bag designs were changed recently (not for the best)🙁 However their customer service is one of the best, their offer repairs (unlike some other brands)
I’ve header the customer service and repair service is awful. Also, the real ones just look so fake, cheap and crunchy. Not worth any amount of money or my time.
@@dominotruth hmm i have to disagree.. i bought a few limited edition bags & pouches 2 months ago. Had a very nice experience as usual. The only thing i wouldn’t recommend are new design items Goyard started making in the past 3-5 years.. In terms of cheaply made & not worth the money = LV & Chanel 😅
I have a few Goyard totes and SLGs and I love them and use them all the time. I know it’s not for everyone. I’m probably more rough with these totes than I am with any of my other designer products and there is almost zero wear on them. The first time I went in and got something was pre Covid a few years, I went to the “flagship” Paris store with my parents and they treated us like VIPs and while you can’t just walk in now I still feel like the SAs are wonderful.
I actually love my St. Louis. I like how thin and slouchy it is. 😂 I use it as a diaper and work bag and it’s been holding up great after 4 years and two kids.
It’s one of the most knocked off brands in NYC sadly. I did get a zipped black shoulder bag in Paris in the early 2000’s. They stopped making that model. I wore it to death, got it re-lined- twice. Haven’t bought another.
I have both Goyard and FLP, but the latter definitely has better quality and durability. Price point, about the same so.... really, why are these really expensive?
As for Goyard, I was back and forth on it starting some 3 decades ago. I've been an LV fan for its monogram canvas since I bought my first LV bag in the summer of 1980 in Paris. That canvas is thick and has held up over many decades. In the LV canvas, I have a Fermoir Serviette briefcase bought in the early-mid 80s and went through nearly my entire career and still looks great, have had handbags, and also still have my hard-sided Bisten suitcases. All are in the traditional monogram canvas and bought in Paris, Monte Carlo, and Copenhagen. On one of my annual Paris trips, around 20-plus years ago, I went into the main Goyard boutique to check out a new carry-on wheeled suitcase that had come out. I was the only person in the boutique. Well, I pulled up the bar/handle to extend it and try it out and it was so short until I looked like the Huntchback of Notre Dame trying to roll it around and I'm only a little over 5'6" (170cm) in height. 😨 I looked at the saleswoman and said that I'd stick with my LV Bisten suitcases and keep strapping them onto my Old School Concorde 2 collapsible luggage cart and wheel those bad boys wherever they needed to go. The saleswoman and I had a good laugh as that was back when sales people had a sense of humor. Greetings from Los Angeles
Cassie, always appreciate your insights. I purchased my St. Louis tote in red many years ago. I let it sit in the bag for about a week thinking, “what the hell”, as it was not cheap, even a couple years ago. I finally decided to get over it and just use it. I’m super happy I did! For me, it’s a great work tote and because it is very flat, it is excellent for travel as well. I use it all the time and have no wear issues at all. I would consider the Artois, but I would only purchase in Europe, as the price is better.
I love my Goyard passport cover, which I know is very small beer compared to a bag - but I have owned it for eight years, with custom handpainting on it, and it looks brand spanking new still evenafter my shoving it into various bags in quite a mean un-babying way many times since. Both paint and canvas are like new. I like Goyardine and I like the shapes of their non-tote bags (not very into the S Louis) and I would never say never to a Saigon. Perhaps one might be in my future? Who can say. Also my in-shop experience was stellar, which matters too (I know many others have not had stellar experiences)
I LOVE my Goyard St. Louis as a replacement for the LV Neverfull. It's wonderfully lightweight and elegant. It's leather lined but I didn't know it was reversible! Win/win!
"I'M GOYARDLESS" and I laughted like a maniac 😂😂 Used to really love all the men bags from Goyard before the hypes invaded the brand. Genuinely love the pattern but the canvas honestly softens and loses its shape so quickly to the point where if you use it as an everyday bag it will just give up the will to stand up in less than a year :(
I choose leather over coated canvas, always. I don't mind paying for quality. I do mind paying for a name without quality. Just my preference. Love the video, as always!🥰
I have a Artois GM that I use for travel which I had monogrammed with my initials. That bag has been at about 10+ trips, domestic and international and it isn’t a scratch on it and still looks new. Or is very durable and I’m getting my moneys worth cost per wear.
Goyard is the new LV......period! I mean this in terms of urban relevance; whereas in the 90s LV still had cachet, and the streets were really starting to embrace the brand. Goyard has been around since 1853, however, most people didn't start checkin' for this brand until about 5 years ago. And ppl are wearing that St Lois tote like it's the new Neverfull. And I agree with you Cassie, that plastic on the handles does make it look cheap, but I suspect they do that to ensure it hasn't been worn.
I live in Korea and Goyard is the brand EVERYONE wants. There are four stores in Korea alone and it’s the bag every girl (and me as I have a couple) is carrying. I have seen and heard of quality issues with the St Louis, especially at the corners with wear and tear. I bought an organiser for my St Louis and it does make the world of difference to the structure and overall appearance of the bag. I believe they changed their manufacturing process of the canvas as well as it used to be hand painted but it’s now done like screen printing. I definitely prefer Goyard over LV, but Moynat is a close second, and they too have a beautiful store here in Korea!
Fantastic video- thanks for saying what many of us are thinking. That St Louis bag gives me flea market vibes. I too am “Goyardless” 🤪😂 To be fair, I also do not like the LV Neverfull. I am currently eyeing the interesting new Loewe tote. I understood and chuckled at your Orient Express references. RIP Agatha Christie
I have a red St Louis tote and absolutely love it! It doesn’t look like plastic to me. It is lightweight and it’s so comfortable. I use it more than my Neverfull.
I've been looking at Goyard for a while now and decided to pop into a boutique to see what all the fuss was about. I had to queue to get into the store and when I did it was crammed and busy and felt so un-personal. I got this food market kind of vibe in there as everything felt so transactional, in and out in a flash. I tried a few on and they were nice, but I think the price was a bit steep for what they were (the thin canvas felt so non-luxury to me). I understand the history, and would love to get one, but I'm not made of money and I'm not sure if it's really worth it.
I went to the Goyard shop in Mayfair four years ago fully intending to buy something (full disclosure: I have a replica St Louis Claire Voie I got on Amazon a few years ago and wanted the real thing) but left empty handed. The bags didn't really look any different than my replica - and they were thousands of pounds!
Cassie - Wanted to say thank you again for encouraging me to start my channel - I don't know if you remember but you gave me advice and the courage to start my channel myself - your channel inspired me and gave me courage - and i talk about you alot on my channel now! :) Anyway - my channel is largely about demystifying Goyard so I love that you are doing a Goyard video yourself! Thank you again! :)
Woman, I just wanted to tell you that I love your videos and I love their authenticity. I stopped reading fashion magazines simply because you give me everything I want to know. You are a threat to the old way of making fashion content. I think brands have to look more at UA-camrs. I love you, keep it up.
The London store is quiet Tuesday mornings. But as you cannot get tax-free in the UK, that might explain why they don't get the crazy queues as in France, etc. Though plenty of Americans were in the store due to the pricing still being better than the US. I caved a while back and my back has been very grateful. The St Louis is very lightweight. I swapped in my Neverful bag organizer to keep it clean. It can take a hammering and is deceptively strong. Plus it can mold to your body, when you wear on your shoulder, so you don't feel like you are banging into people, unlike some other totes. I am able to wear it on my shoulders, but it could do with an extra inch on the straps for colder weather with coats. If you want a budget version the Tory Burch canvas totes look very similar from afar. With the added security of a zip. I would say the service can be hit-and-miss in London. The SA I had was horrible, but other SA's were lovely when I was talking to them when the girl I was assigned was packing up my bag. Note, Goyard has a quota system. Which I did chuckle to myself as I have no intention of buying anymore, apart from perhaps the passport cover in the future.
I like that they have that Luxury experience and offer alternatives to other more popular designer pieces, however i think they fall short design wise when compared to their prices
I actually just purchased my first Goyard a couple months ago in San Francisco, and it was the Artois MM in the Black/Tan. Been already looking into getting another piece because I can’t get over the green that they do. I’m also not the biggest fan of the handles/straps coming with the plastic on it, but then again certain Hermès bags like the Lindy also come this way.
I love Goyard. It is on my list, just not at the tippy top of it. I love the heritage. I also think it is a casual bag that is classy for someone my age (older than you). I am also fully over the neverfull and the new tiny one is beyond cringe with the guitar strap.
I love all my goyard bags and honestly looking to sell other bags to fund more goyard. While I do see the perspective of it looking “plasticy” or like a reusable bag, that’s the reason why I like it. It’s giving “yeah I paid $2000 for this reusable bag, so what” energy, and to me that’s a flex on people who can’t afford it/rock that vibe. The thing is, there are absolutely no bags in the luxury market that are worth the retail price regardless if it’s canvas or leather. At the end of the day, pay for what sparks joy in you, and if you don’t like something , “you can keep your mouth shut” 😂
I find the sentiment of buying luxury to flex on people who can’t afford it to be disgusting…yikes. I wonder why you chose to post this publicly given the state of the world at the moment. Goyard feels cheap and is pretty much made cheap. I’ve had one, it broke. I’d never buy another. Not that much of a flex if you ask me. I love luxury bags just because I like the heritage and craftsmanship. Who buys something just to brag?
I love Goyard and Ilove you Cassie. I hope you do more research on the quality and sturdiness of the triple painted goyard canvas compared to the plastic coated LV canvas. Also they are one of the few brands that is not owned by a conglomerate. Please give goyard a chance, trust me it's worth it.
Thank you so much hun for clearing allot my doubts! I am just in the same boat as u with buying goyard! I take one step forward then 5 steps backwards for all the reasons your pointed out! Love your content as always! ❤❤❤
I just got the 233 bag and it’s a beautifully made shoulder bag/crossbody. It probably helped that the flap is leather vs canvas that made it feel a bit more luxe in my opinion. I contemplated the Artois but it did have a plasticky feel/look to it in my opinion
I love my goyard st louis tote I got it in 2017 in ny and it is still in great shape even though I basically used it as a diaper bag for 6 years ❤ it’s so much lighter than the neverful too
I happily came across your vlog this morning. Very well done. Thank you. I am a male luxury shopping addict (like you, except for the gay,, male part LOL). I have large collections of briefcases/attache cases (and small leather goods), watches, pens and cufflinks. I lived in France in the mid-80s and have returned to Paris at least yearly until 5 years ago. In the last 5 years, I've been privileged to be able to visit Paris approximately 3 times a year. I always spend quite a bit of time on St Honore. I had NEVER seen ANY queue to enter until approximately 1-2 years ago. I love the history and the craftsmanship, but I have NEVER been able to "convince myself" that I like the print. I have tried and tried, unsuccessfully. I certainly don't mind accessories that are a bit "in your face", but not all men can pull this off well. BUT, as a collector, it seems that I should have at least one piece (briefcase.document case, messenger bag) of this historic/iconic brand. I have also convinced myself that I'd like a card case and or wallet, either in gray or the black logo with black trim. HOWEVER, I will NEVER stand in line for over an hour to purchase a "luxury brand". Spending money on luxury items must be a pleasant experience for me. Nobody NEEDS any of this stuff. Therefore, I want to be treated as "special" or at least as an appreciated special customer. I often form close, wonderful relationships at the boutiques of other brands, which is wonderful. However,, this is not possible for me at Goyard. Another comment, I have always thought that the very thin straps on their totes make them look VERY cheap.
I got the white Artois GM this summer in Paris and so regret not also getting a winter color. They are lightweight, fit tons and the zipper ❤❤❤. The SA was quite nice and patient. Also I got VAT back in France. I wish they made a hot pink. Maybe as a special color someday?
I really like their SLGs because the bright colors are easy to find in the dark depths of my bag. BUT i had an artois bag that I LOVED for travel. I prefer coated canvas for a tote because it's lightweight and stands up well to water. However, when I started using my artois tote on a more regular basis, i noticed rain stains! the bright colors will always make me happy, but I wouldn't buy another bag
Lately I’ve been seeing them around town quite often. I expected them to be a lot cheaper because of the way they look. I’m not necessarily a fan of Louis Vuitton, but at least their canvas looks less cheap.
I've never really understood the attraction to Goyard. Nor the manufactured exclusivity and the attitude some folks have encountered at the boutiques. I'm like "girl you canvas, take it down several notches!!" I do see a lot of the totes on folks though.
I'm also Goyardless. I don't like the thin canvas or the thin straps. And I've heard of the paint rubbing off over time which is a non-starter for me at that price.
I just traveled the Amalfi Coast for three weeks with the St Louis PM! Best travel bag ever if you are trying to pack carry on only and want to be chic! It looks as perfect as the day I bought it and I put this bag through A LOT😂
To me the bags look like they were made out of plastic and I could never imagine you Cassie with such a bag. And respect to you, because you are not "buying into the trend", you have your own style and you stick to it and that is a quality.
Yes the color of the kislux is beautiful and it is a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag during the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves, etc…
I just got my first and honestly my red mini Anjou is amazing. I would honestly get another if I felt the need for a new tote. It’s insane how much use I have gotten already. Was it overpriced? Yes. But as is luxury as a whole
I have three of their bags and a couple of SLGs and love each one. The coated canvas…on the St. Louis It is thinner and I’ve been told by a Goyard SA that it is intentional for that particular bag…to keep it lighter and more casual. I know that money feel that coated canvas seems cheap and plasticky. I understand that. I see it as canvas that has extra protection and that doesn’t take away the “value” or quality of the canvas that it is protecting. I like that it isn’t as widely seen out and about; yes, I’ve fallen for the exclusivity and the smaller batches. Love the ones I have and hope to add another piece in the next couple of years. Really appreciated your video on this!
Hi Cassie, I watch your videos weekly but rarely comment. However I did DM you a few weeks ago asking you to do a video on what your thoughts of Goyard were and here we are! *I am actually quite shocked to be honest that you are "Goyardless" 🤣😭!!* I kinda thought Goyard this year was part of the "Quiet Luxury" trend because not as many people have Goyard bags (compared to Gucci for example) and it was a "If you know, you know" kind of brand. Anyways I brought the grey belvedere PM bag on my Birthday in London in August and it's so good! I went with my bestie and we stood outside from 9am and it opened at 10am and we were literally only second in the queue and got served straight away and I was fortunate that they had just delivered the grey Belvedere bag the previous night else I wouldn't of had it! (It was very pricy though and I don't want my parents to find out the REAL price haha!) Anyway, I hope you get a Goyard bag one day and you love it 🙄🤣🩶 Kindest regards, Luke
I have a mini Saigon souple. It’s really cute and tho it’s a mini bag it holds my 14 Pro Max, a passport holder, Prada pouch from 05 Reiusse for my AirPods and a little wallet.
For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I'll be happy that I have the kislux as my travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
Two of my goyard bags I had to take in for repairs bc the handles had issues. Granted, Goyard did replace them at no cost. But, maybe that's why they put plastic on the handles, they are kinda problematic?
Yes, their famous tote bag may feel plasticky but to each their own. I LOVE my Goyard bag and it's more personal to me... My brother who passed away introduced me to this brand and I also respect their brand history. Anyway, I say at the end of the day, go for something that makes you smile and stand with it.
I am very happy with *rrcopys* 's bag, arrived on time and exceeded my expectations! Need a stylish little backpack to go to theme parks with my kids. I'm not a backpack person and usually carry a purse with me, but I wanted something that was easier to carry and less carried over the shoulder. I bought the smaller size, but it holds 2 water bottles, snacks, a couple of light sweaters, and a bunch of other small things. I like that the opening is in the back, great for travel.
I’ve heard too many quality issues with Goyard. That’s enough to put me off. Then of course I’ve never seen one in person and the boutiques are far and few between. I know they do sell them in some of the higher end department stores as a friend just bought the Artois. She is very happy with it. I think the St. Louis tote looks very flimsy. I’ll stick to my Neverfuls which I love.
Having owned authentic goyard totes. I would say that I much rather spend my money somewhere else. I compared my real bag with a fake one that my coworker has and I was shocked by how similar the looks were . Of course the canvas didn’t feel the same but like from looks it was like wow. I don’t like counterfeits but I would say they have come a long way.
I have a Goyard Tote and I have some regards about it: 1) I bought it online. It was easier for me because I live in the Netherlands but I do not recommend it since I paid 100 EUR only for the delivery. 2) In terms of quality, I think Neverfull is better but I do not regret any second of my Goyard purchase. It was a dream, I have it and I do not regret it. By the way, I really like your topics. 😘
Goyard has no spokesperson and the stores are limited, making it quite a mysterious brand… The print didn’t not speak to me at first but then when I saw them in person the craftsmanship really stood out. I got my first Petit Flot bucket bag and the quality is amazing- lightweight and hardwearing. Then I got 2 backpacks recently - Alpin Mini & Leger 🥰 very light and give me vintage preppy vibe ❤️❤️❤️ However, now they ask for bundle purchases for selling the Hobo bag, and I find that a bit too much 😅 The next bag on my wish list is Saigon but not sure which color to pick as I have 2 tan & 1 black already. (Dun really like any other colors…) If it comes in pink (again) I’d bite the bullet 🫶🏻
YAY! OMG I've always wondered why you don't have any and I've been waiting for you to post a goyard video!!! I remember your shopping video where you went in for the vanity or toiletry pouch but hated the experience and the price point. lol. Goyard not for everyone!
Well working in luxury, all bags come with some sort of plastic or foam wrapping to protect the bag in transit... Most stores just remove it before customers see it I worked in Fendi and we have to unpack it to make it back of house ready. I guess Goyard has just kept it on, means it's even newer and not as handled by other people?
I don’t like many Goyard bags…HOWEVER I do genuinely love my Saigon. It’s a trunk-like bag with amazing wood and leather. Way better quality than their St. Louis totes IMO.
Personally love it but took me a while to get one! One because I live in Australia so there wasn’t a store anywhere near me that didn’t require a plane 😂 The first store I saw was inside Hong Kong’s Harvey Nichols many many moons ago & well there wasn’t any bags displayed just the trunks & I guess you had to ask someone but couldn’t find anyone to ask 😆 Second time I was at the store inside Barney’s New York & wanted to buy something SO bad, no lines, literally re-stocking new colours & the clutch had just launched & I left empty handed 😂 Third time I was in Paris & I was determined to buy something at the OG Store & lined up for 40 mins on one side to find there was nothing I liked there in yellow & they told me there was much more across the road so then I waited another 20 mins across the road & after being there easily over an hour & a half, I had bought the St Louis PM in yellow! The service was AMAZING!!! I had the best conversations with everyone & highly recommend the experience! I also have the Neverfull MM & between the two, I prefer the Goyard - it’s easier to use as it fits just as much but sits better on me, don’t need to worry about the canvas - a lot of people don’t realise it’s waterproof inside & out, the SA literally said to me I can use a hose to it to wash it if I wanted 😂🤣 We had a good laugh! I didn’t have plastic on mine but in some countries it’s there because of the expectations of clients from that country & a way to help with exchanges/returns. When I worked at LV, Asian countries did this as it was preferred as a whole - it meant to them it was brand new & untouched by others before purchase. We didn’t do it in Australia as that’s not what clients considered was luxury & yeah it always causes drama trying to explain this 😅 Highly recommend a Goyard piece! Always on the hunt for another! 😃
The plastic is there to deter people from wearing the bags and then trying to exchange them. Goyard allows exchanges up to 14 days after purchasing as long as the plastic over the handles is still intact. I agree with you that the price difference between the EU and US is crazy. The mini anjou comes out to $2850 after tax in NY. At the paris boutique it was $1890/1950 and then you get the vat refund. I like the brand but have a difficult time paying the US prices.
I have the Artois in grey and I absolutely love it. I would not want a leather tote of this size because of the weight. I'm also not a LV girl as that is too loud for me. I'm not eyeing any other GY pieces at the moment but I do love this tote, it's so useful and stylish. That said I did stand in line at the Milan boutique to get it and I'm not proud of that fact. 😂
I love my Goyard St. Louis PM in burgundy. I got it at Bergdorf’s in 2009/2010 before there was a Goyard store in NYC. Granted I don’t use it regularly but It’s still in perfect condition. And, for whatever reason, I get a lot of compliments about the bag from men. 🤷♀️
Used to work at Barney’s, before they closed, and I remember there was a Goyard inside the Madison location. The brand did not appeal to me either, but I remember the knock offs of Canal street looked EXACTLY like the original. It was very hard to tell them apart from the thin canvas and the plastic. Slightest differences were in the printing and the trueness of the colors to the originals
Love you so so much Cassie thank you for always making me smile and always brighten up my day you will always be my favourite UA-camr and my inspiration hope you have a beautiful weekend ❤❤❤❤❤
I was absolutely IN LOVE with my Goyoard Voltaire tote and I had to sell it because it was such a hassle to carry if I put all my things in the bag. Now I only intend to keep two of my Goyoard SLGs and selling one of them ❤
Everyone is buying the St Louis tote and complaining that it’s too thin…they should bump up to the Artois, that tote in my opinion is a better comparison to the Neverfull and in my opinion is way better then the Neverfull because of the security when you need it and reinforced leather corners.
I think the rise of Goyard especially the totes are in recent years also highlights the shift away from mini bags because even the mini Anjou isn't mini in TBE terms !!
Can’t get over how plasticky-tachy looking-feeling it is……..doesn’t really read luxury. When a friend bought one. For the longest time I thought she got it from TK Max for £20.
😂😂😂
Yes! I can’t get over how plastic-looking Goyard appears!
Because that tote everyone is buying is A BEACH BAG. And people buy it like it is a Neverfull. It is nooot. It is a beach bag. The canvas is super thin.
Yeah, it looks like a shopping bag for Aldi.
The tote is a no they do have some I don’t mind…I saw a cute clutch
For me, nobody does canvas like LV. The canvas is very sturdy and durable. I've had my Speedy and other LV accessories for more than 20 years and they're still fine.
Totally agree! 👍🏻👍🏻
I would take LV over Goyard any day. Beside, not sure why people claimed it’s one of the “ quiet luxury” brands because I don’t know about others, I can spot Goyard with that boring pattern miles away.
I agree
But everyone has one!
I’m super loud and tacky, because my world tour speedy (covered in the stickers to the max) is my third child 😂
Omg my friend received a goyard tote from her boyfriend at her bday dinner and when she unwrapped it I legit thought it was fake because of the plastic 😅 I just though “huh 🧐” and kept the thought to myself, glad I did 😂
I’m glad it’s not just me! 😂💖
😂😂 I would’ve thought it was a fake too. Glad you kept quiet and got to keep your friendship.
Haha yes it wears TERRIBLY too
For sure it’s plastic.
😂😂😂😂
Though the pattern is interesting, I cannot get down with spending that much for coated canvas, especially with the price secrecy/exclusivity.
I’d rather save my coin for my loud luxury brands 🤩
I hear you 🙌🏽💖
I can tell you the price of any bag
It’s a coated (very thin) leather
@@lindsaybonk3760 No it's not. That's why it's called "coated canvas".
Its very much like a Neverfull. 😊
Love my Goyard bags so much and they’re some of the most used in my collection for their ease and versatility. I mostly dress in black or solid neutrals, and I like the little punch the pattern gives. Have never had a problem with the handles cracking. Btw, H Lindy comes with plastic on the shoulder strap when fresh in store.
Black/black or grey? Which color would you choose in a mini Anjou tote?
Do you have black /grey or black with brown design. I also where black I don’t know what will suit me
I have just discovered Ca$$ie & I’m so obsessed (don’t worry I’m too lazy to become a stalker). The fashion, the personality, the general fabulousness - I am here for all of it! ❤
Omg WELCOME 🙈💖💖💖
@@CassieThorpe your TBE influenced me into the Prada Re-Nylon shoulder bag (in Tundra because she’s not like other girls 💅) soooo my future bankruptcy is partially your fault. Much love & thanks for all the quality content ❤️
“I’m too lazy to be a stalker” is one of the funniest things I’ve seen this week 😂
@@MildlyModerated I accept all blame! Also tundra is an excellent choice!
Cassie is AMAZING
My husband bought me 3 goyard bags over the last 5 years and I love it all . A white St. Louis in GM , a grey St. Louis in PM , and recently a burgundy Artois in PM ❤ it’s my everyday bags on rotation ❤
I can’t decide between grey or black/black. Do you like your grey?
I had thought of buying one several months ago and revisited the shop again a few weeks later. The queue was around the block and that was an hour before opening! I decided it was not for me and instead purchased a beautiful leather Mulberry tote. Such brilliant quality.
Hope you enjoy it!😍🤩
It is a Y for the central letter in the Goyard family name.
I just got my first Goyard in Paris and I love it. It’s beautiful and the quality and craftsmanship is great.
Went to the Goyard store on Rodeo and the manager was SOOO rude. He literally yelled at the security guard for letting our group of 5 in when the store was EMPTY. It's a hell no for me. My friend who went to the Paris store said the same - they don't care at all.
i love Goyard, most of their bags are super easy to travel with & their colors❤ I bought most of my bags & slg’s more than 10 years ago & sadly some bag designs were changed recently (not for the best)🙁 However their customer service is one of the best, their offer repairs (unlike some other brands)
I need them to fix my card holder that’s coming apart
@@bt2598 they might be able to do it, you have to ask. They repaired bag handles for me (not free of charge of course)
I’ve header the customer service and repair service is awful. Also, the real ones just look so fake, cheap and crunchy. Not worth any amount of money or my time.
@@dominotruth hmm i have to disagree.. i bought a few limited edition bags & pouches 2 months ago. Had a very nice experience as usual. The only thing i wouldn’t recommend are new design items Goyard started making in the past 3-5 years.. In terms of cheaply made & not worth the money = LV & Chanel 😅
I have a few Goyard totes and SLGs and I love them and use them all the time. I know it’s not for everyone. I’m probably more rough with these totes than I am with any of my other designer products and there is almost zero wear on them. The first time I went in and got something was pre Covid a few years, I went to the “flagship” Paris store with my parents and they treated us like VIPs and while you can’t just walk in now I still feel like the SAs are wonderful.
exactly. I also love my goyard. not just their totes. I love their boheme bag.
I have Goyard pieces from years ago before you had to stand in line. They have stood the test of time.
I actually love my St. Louis. I like how thin and slouchy it is. 😂 I use it as a diaper and work bag and it’s been holding up great after 4 years and two kids.
Thin and slouchy don’t seem like luxury terms. I’d say people are being duped for this crap.
I've wanted a Goyard tote for a while but I recently found a Fauré Le Page at a thrift store for 9$... I've never been more excited!!!
OMG AMAZING!
That is exactly where the will all be. Once this trend fades I doubt the resale will be anything.
It’s one of the most knocked off brands in NYC sadly. I did get a zipped black shoulder bag in Paris in the early 2000’s. They stopped making that model. I wore it to death, got it re-lined- twice. Haven’t bought another.
I have both Goyard and FLP, but the latter definitely has better quality and durability. Price point, about the same so.... really, why are these really expensive?
As for Goyard, I was back and forth on it starting some 3 decades ago. I've been an LV fan for its monogram canvas since I bought my first LV bag in the summer of 1980 in Paris. That canvas is thick and has held up over many decades.
In the LV canvas, I have a Fermoir Serviette briefcase bought in the early-mid 80s and went through nearly my entire career and still looks great, have had handbags, and also still have my hard-sided Bisten suitcases. All are in the traditional monogram canvas and bought in Paris, Monte Carlo, and Copenhagen.
On one of my annual Paris trips, around 20-plus years ago, I went into the main Goyard boutique to check out a new carry-on wheeled suitcase that had come out. I was the only person in the boutique. Well, I pulled up the bar/handle to extend it and try it out and it was so short until I looked like the Huntchback of Notre Dame trying to roll it around and I'm only a little over 5'6" (170cm) in height. 😨 I looked at the saleswoman and said that I'd stick with my LV Bisten suitcases and keep strapping them onto my Old School Concorde 2 collapsible luggage cart and wheel those bad boys wherever they needed to go. The saleswoman and I had a good laugh as that was back when sales people had a sense of humor.
Greetings from Los Angeles
Cassie, always appreciate your insights. I purchased my St. Louis tote in red many years ago. I let it sit in the bag for about a week thinking, “what the hell”, as it was not cheap, even a couple years ago. I finally decided to get over it and just use it. I’m super happy I did! For me, it’s a great work tote and because it is very flat, it is excellent for travel as well. I use it all the time and have no wear issues at all. I would consider the Artois, but I would only purchase in Europe, as the price is better.
I love my Goyard passport cover, which I know is very small beer compared to a bag - but I have owned it for eight years, with custom handpainting on it, and it looks brand spanking new still evenafter my shoving it into various bags in quite a mean un-babying way many times since. Both paint and canvas are like new. I like Goyardine and I like the shapes of their non-tote bags (not very into the S Louis) and I would never say never to a Saigon. Perhaps one might be in my future? Who can say. Also my in-shop experience was stellar, which matters too (I know many others have not had stellar experiences)
I LOVE my Goyard St. Louis as a replacement for the LV Neverfull. It's wonderfully lightweight and elegant. It's leather lined but I didn't know it was reversible! Win/win!
"I'M GOYARDLESS" and I laughted like a maniac 😂😂
Used to really love all the men bags from Goyard before the hypes invaded the brand. Genuinely love the pattern but the canvas honestly softens and loses its shape so quickly to the point where if you use it as an everyday bag it will just give up the will to stand up in less than a year :(
I choose leather over coated canvas, always. I don't mind paying for quality. I do mind paying for a name without quality. Just my preference. Love the video, as always!🥰
I have a Artois GM that I use for travel which I had monogrammed with my initials. That bag has been at about 10+ trips, domestic and international and it isn’t a scratch on it and still looks new. Or is very durable and I’m getting my moneys worth cost per wear.
Goyard is the new LV......period! I mean this in terms of urban relevance; whereas in the 90s LV still had cachet, and the streets were really starting to embrace the brand. Goyard has been around since 1853, however, most people didn't start checkin' for this brand until about 5 years ago. And ppl are wearing that St Lois tote like it's the new Neverfull. And I agree with you Cassie, that plastic on the handles does make it look cheap, but I suspect they do that to ensure it hasn't been worn.
I live in Korea and Goyard is the brand EVERYONE wants. There are four stores in Korea alone and it’s the bag every girl (and me as I have a couple) is carrying. I have seen and heard of quality issues with the St Louis, especially at the corners with wear and tear. I bought an organiser for my St Louis and it does make the world of difference to the structure and overall appearance of the bag. I believe they changed their manufacturing process of the canvas as well as it used to be hand painted but it’s now done like screen printing. I definitely prefer Goyard over LV, but Moynat is a close second, and they too have a beautiful store here in Korea!
🙌🏽💖💖
It seems only people in Asia like this brand. It looks kind a cheap.
I loved my black PM. After a little bit of wear, the shine definitely gives luxury.
Fantastic video- thanks for saying what many of us are thinking. That St Louis bag gives me flea market vibes. I too am “Goyardless” 🤪😂
To be fair, I also do not like the LV Neverfull. I am currently eyeing the interesting new Loewe tote.
I understood and chuckled at your Orient Express references. RIP Agatha Christie
I have a red St Louis tote and absolutely love it! It doesn’t look like plastic to me. It is lightweight and it’s so comfortable. I use it more than my Neverfull.
I love Goyard. I got my first Goyard many years ago just because no one knows about the brand back then. I will pick Goyard over LV any time
Lol, your delusional
I've been looking at Goyard for a while now and decided to pop into a boutique to see what all the fuss was about.
I had to queue to get into the store and when I did it was crammed and busy and felt so un-personal. I got this food market kind of vibe in there as everything felt so transactional, in and out in a flash. I tried a few on and they were nice, but I think the price was a bit steep for what they were (the thin canvas felt so non-luxury to me). I understand the history, and would love to get one, but I'm not made of money and I'm not sure if it's really worth it.
I went to the Goyard shop in Mayfair four years ago fully intending to buy something (full disclosure: I have a replica St Louis Claire Voie I got on Amazon a few years ago and wanted the real thing) but left empty handed. The bags didn't really look any different than my replica - and they were thousands of pounds!
😂😂😂
The craftmanship of the Goyard saigon mini (hard version) is absolutely beautiful. I must say I love the mini saigon way more than my mini kelly.
Cassie - Wanted to say thank you again for encouraging me to start my channel - I don't know if you remember but you gave me advice and the courage to start my channel myself - your channel inspired me and gave me courage - and i talk about you alot on my channel now! :) Anyway - my channel is largely about demystifying Goyard so I love that you are doing a Goyard video yourself! Thank you again! :)
Woman, I just wanted to tell you that I love your videos and I love their authenticity. I stopped reading fashion magazines simply because you give me everything I want to know. You are a threat to the old way of making fashion content. I think brands have to look more at UA-camrs. I love you, keep it up.
The London store is quiet Tuesday mornings. But as you cannot get tax-free in the UK, that might explain why they don't get the crazy queues as in France, etc. Though plenty of Americans were in the store due to the pricing still being better than the US.
I caved a while back and my back has been very grateful. The St Louis is very lightweight. I swapped in my Neverful bag organizer to keep it clean. It can take a hammering and is deceptively strong. Plus it can mold to your body, when you wear on your shoulder, so you don't feel like you are banging into people, unlike some other totes. I am able to wear it on my shoulders, but it could do with an extra inch on the straps for colder weather with coats.
If you want a budget version the Tory Burch canvas totes look very similar from afar. With the added security of a zip.
I would say the service can be hit-and-miss in London. The SA I had was horrible, but other SA's were lovely when I was talking to them when the girl I was assigned was packing up my bag. Note, Goyard has a quota system. Which I did chuckle to myself as I have no intention of buying anymore, apart from perhaps the passport cover in the future.
I love love love Goyard. Been buying it for years and it’s delicious! 🤤
I like that they have that Luxury experience and offer alternatives to other more popular designer pieces, however i think they fall short design wise when compared to their prices
I really like my Goyard Plumet cross-body bag for traveling/sightseeing. It is light as air and not bulky at all.
I ❤ my Goyard collection.
I actually just purchased my first Goyard a couple months ago in San Francisco, and it was the Artois MM in the Black/Tan. Been already looking into getting another piece because I can’t get over the green that they do. I’m also not the biggest fan of the handles/straps coming with the plastic on it, but then again certain Hermès bags like the Lindy also come this way.
Is that boutique still open? I thought all retailers had closed up shop in SF.
I have never been able to get excited by Goyard.
I love Goyard. It is on my list, just not at the tippy top of it. I love the heritage. I also think it is a casual bag that is classy for someone my age (older than you). I am also fully over the neverfull and the new tiny one is beyond cringe with the guitar strap.
I love all my goyard bags and honestly looking to sell other bags to fund more goyard. While I do see the perspective of it looking “plasticy” or like a reusable bag, that’s the reason why I like it. It’s giving “yeah I paid $2000 for this reusable bag, so what” energy, and to me that’s a flex on people who can’t afford it/rock that vibe. The thing is, there are absolutely no bags in the luxury market that are worth the retail price regardless if it’s canvas or leather. At the end of the day, pay for what sparks joy in you, and if you don’t like something , “you can keep your mouth shut” 😂
I find the sentiment of buying luxury to flex on people who can’t afford it to be disgusting…yikes. I wonder why you chose to post this publicly given the state of the world at the moment. Goyard feels cheap and is pretty much made cheap. I’ve had one, it broke. I’d never buy another. Not that much of a flex if you ask me. I love luxury bags just because I like the heritage and craftsmanship. Who buys something just to brag?
PS. @cassiethorpe … One thing I just learned re: the plastic on the handles: if you remove it (plastic), you can’t return the bag!
I love Goyard and Ilove you Cassie. I hope you do more research on the quality and sturdiness of the triple painted goyard canvas compared to the plastic coated LV canvas. Also they are one of the few brands that is not owned by a conglomerate. Please give goyard a chance, trust me it's worth it.
Thank you so much hun for clearing allot my doubts! I am just in the same boat as u with buying goyard! I take one step forward then 5 steps backwards for all the reasons your pointed out! Love your content as always! ❤❤❤
I very much appreciated how you painted the scene with Poirot references!
I just got the 233 bag and it’s a beautifully made shoulder bag/crossbody. It probably helped that the flap is leather vs canvas that made it feel a bit more luxe in my opinion. I contemplated the Artois but it did have a plasticky feel/look to it in my opinion
I love my goyard st louis tote I got it in 2017 in ny and it is still in great shape even though I basically used it as a diaper bag for 6 years ❤ it’s so much lighter than the neverful too
Happy Friday Cass Cass!!!! Have yourself an amazing weekend ❤❤❤.. continue put in the work great content 😊.
You’re so wonderful thank you! Have a lovely weekend 💖
I happily came across your vlog this morning. Very well done. Thank you. I am a male luxury shopping addict (like you, except for the gay,, male part LOL). I have large collections of briefcases/attache cases (and small leather goods), watches, pens and cufflinks. I lived in France in the mid-80s and have returned to Paris at least yearly until 5 years ago. In the last 5 years, I've been privileged to be able to visit Paris approximately 3 times a year. I always spend quite a bit of time on St Honore. I had NEVER seen ANY queue to enter until approximately 1-2 years ago. I love the history and the craftsmanship, but I have NEVER been able to "convince myself" that I like the print. I have tried and tried, unsuccessfully. I certainly don't mind accessories that are a bit "in your face", but not all men can pull this off well. BUT, as a collector, it seems that I should have at least one piece (briefcase.document case, messenger bag) of this historic/iconic brand. I have also convinced myself that I'd like a card case and or wallet, either in gray or the black logo with black trim. HOWEVER, I will NEVER stand in line for over an hour to purchase a "luxury brand". Spending money on luxury items must be a pleasant experience for me. Nobody NEEDS any of this stuff. Therefore, I want to be treated as "special" or at least as an appreciated special customer. I often form close, wonderful relationships at the boutiques of other brands, which is wonderful. However,, this is not possible for me at
Goyard. Another comment, I have always thought that the very thin straps on their totes make them look VERY cheap.
I got the white Artois GM this summer in Paris and so regret not also getting a winter color. They are lightweight, fit tons and the zipper ❤❤❤. The SA was quite nice and patient. Also I got VAT back in France. I wish they made a hot pink. Maybe as a special color someday?
I really like their SLGs because the bright colors are easy to find in the dark depths of my bag. BUT i had an artois bag that I LOVED for travel. I prefer coated canvas for a tote because it's lightweight and stands up well to water. However, when I started using my artois tote on a more regular basis, i noticed rain stains! the bright colors will always make me happy, but I wouldn't buy another bag
Lately I’ve been seeing them around town quite often. I expected them to be a lot cheaper because of the way they look. I’m not necessarily a fan of Louis Vuitton, but at least their canvas looks less cheap.
it's the fakes that's why you see a lot of them.
the bag is amazing if u manage to get one you will love it
I've never really understood the attraction to Goyard. Nor the manufactured exclusivity and the attitude some folks have encountered at the boutiques. I'm like "girl you canvas, take it down several notches!!" I do see a lot of the totes on folks though.
Double thumbs up 👍 for mentioning Hercule Poirot. Talk about classy! - Amy
Love to hear you talk about Chrome hearts and the exclusivity of their products and then the subsequent resell value because of it too
YES I’ll do this one!!
I love Goyard. Have actually bought a few of them via e-mail from the Paris store to Sweden.
I'm also Goyardless. I don't like the thin canvas or the thin straps. And I've heard of the paint rubbing off over time which is a non-starter for me at that price.
I just traveled the Amalfi Coast for three weeks with the St Louis PM! Best travel bag ever if you are trying to pack carry on only and want to be chic! It looks as perfect as the day I bought it and I put this bag through A LOT😂
Beach, pool, boats and planes! It is a great warm weather travel tote!
The straps don’t cut into your shoulder when full?
Love my Goyard mini Anjou and backpack. So versatile and great quality. ❤
Which mini Anjou did you get? I can’t decide between black or grey. I want a yellow too
@@jennykim8383 blue :)
To me the bags look like they were made out of plastic and I could never imagine you Cassie with such a bag. And respect to you, because you are not "buying into the trend", you have your own style and you stick to it and that is a quality.
Yes the color of the kislux is beautiful and it is a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag during the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves, etc…
I just got my first and honestly my red mini Anjou is amazing. I would honestly get another if I felt the need for a new tote. It’s insane how much use I have gotten already. Was it overpriced? Yes. But as is luxury as a whole
I have three of their bags and a couple of SLGs and love each one. The coated canvas…on the St. Louis It is thinner and I’ve been told by a Goyard SA that it is intentional for that particular bag…to keep it lighter and more casual. I know that money feel that coated canvas seems cheap and plasticky. I understand that. I see it as canvas that has extra protection and that doesn’t take away the “value” or quality of the canvas that it is protecting. I like that it isn’t as widely seen out and about; yes, I’ve fallen for the exclusivity and the smaller batches. Love the ones I have and hope to add another piece in the next couple of years.
Really appreciated your video on this!
Hi Cassie, I watch your videos weekly but rarely comment.
However I did DM you a few weeks ago asking you to do a video on what your thoughts of Goyard were and here we are!
*I am actually quite shocked to be honest that you are "Goyardless" 🤣😭!!*
I kinda thought Goyard this year was part of the "Quiet Luxury" trend because not as many people have Goyard bags (compared to Gucci for example) and it was a "If you know, you know" kind of brand.
Anyways I brought the grey belvedere PM bag on my Birthday in London in August and it's so good!
I went with my bestie and we stood outside from 9am and it opened at 10am and we were literally only second in the queue and got served straight away and I was fortunate that they had just delivered the grey Belvedere bag the previous night else I wouldn't of had it! (It was very pricy though and I don't want my parents to find out the REAL price haha!)
Anyway, I hope you get a Goyard bag one day and you love it 🙄🤣🩶
Kindest regards,
Luke
I have a mini Saigon souple. It’s really cute and tho it’s a mini bag it holds my 14 Pro Max, a passport holder, Prada pouch from 05 Reiusse for my AirPods and a little wallet.
My favorite influencer
Omg thank you!’
For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I'll be happy that I have the kislux as my travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
Absolutely love the Orient Express/Hercule Poirot reference. Gave the perfect image…
Two of my goyard bags I had to take in for repairs bc the handles had issues. Granted, Goyard did replace them at no cost. But, maybe that's why they put plastic on the handles, they are kinda problematic?
Yes, their famous tote bag may feel plasticky but to each their own. I LOVE my Goyard bag and it's more personal to me... My brother who passed away introduced me to this brand and I also respect their brand history. Anyway, I say at the end of the day, go for something that makes you smile and stand with it.
I am very happy with *rrcopys* 's bag, arrived on time and exceeded my expectations! Need a stylish little backpack to go to theme parks with my kids. I'm not a backpack person and usually carry a purse with me, but I wanted something that was easier to carry and less carried over the shoulder. I bought the smaller size, but it holds 2 water bottles, snacks, a couple of light sweaters, and a bunch of other small things. I like that the opening is in the back, great for travel.
I got the Orient Express picture! Made perfect sense.
We’re on the same wavelength 😉
I’ve heard too many quality issues with Goyard. That’s enough to put me off. Then of course I’ve never seen one in person and the boutiques are far and few between. I know they do sell them in some of the higher end department stores as a friend just bought the Artois. She is very happy with it. I think the St. Louis tote looks very flimsy. I’ll stick to my Neverfuls which I love.
i bought my artois tote nearly 5 years ago, never babied it and it's held up so well i love it so much still!
Having owned authentic goyard totes. I would say that I much rather spend my money somewhere else. I compared my real bag with a fake one that my coworker has and I was shocked by how similar the looks were . Of course the canvas didn’t feel the same but like from looks it was like wow. I don’t like counterfeits but I would say they have come a long way.
It’s bizarre with them. They already look like counterfeit bags and then they do the plastic handles thing. I’ve never understood it
Hi Cassie!! I always love your analyzing style video ❤
Yay, thank you!💖
I have a Goyard Tote and I have some regards about it: 1) I bought it online. It was easier for me because I live in the Netherlands but I do not recommend it since I paid 100 EUR only for the delivery. 2) In terms of quality, I think Neverfull is better but I do not regret any second of my Goyard purchase. It was a dream, I have it and I do not regret it. By the way, I really like your topics. 😘
Goyard has no spokesperson and the stores are limited, making it quite a mysterious brand… The print didn’t not speak to me at first but then when I saw them in person the craftsmanship really stood out. I got my first Petit Flot bucket bag and the quality is amazing- lightweight and hardwearing. Then I got 2 backpacks recently - Alpin Mini & Leger 🥰 very light and give me vintage preppy vibe ❤️❤️❤️
However, now they ask for bundle purchases for selling the Hobo bag, and I find that a bit too much 😅
The next bag on my wish list is Saigon but not sure which color to pick as I have 2 tan & 1 black already. (Dun really like any other colors…) If it comes in pink (again) I’d bite the bullet 🫶🏻
YAY! OMG I've always wondered why you don't have any and I've been waiting for you to post a goyard video!!! I remember your shopping video where you went in for the vanity or toiletry pouch but hated the experience and the price point. lol. Goyard not for everyone!
Well working in luxury, all bags come with some sort of plastic or foam wrapping to protect the bag in transit... Most stores just remove it before customers see it
I worked in Fendi and we have to unpack it to make it back of house ready. I guess Goyard has just kept it on, means it's even newer and not as handled by other people?
Same. I guess the tote and maybe the cosmetics case are okay. I guess the canvas tends to be more colorful.
I got the reference.
I don’t like many Goyard bags…HOWEVER I do genuinely love my Saigon. It’s a trunk-like bag with amazing wood and leather. Way better quality than their St. Louis totes IMO.
❤❤❤I feel you, Cassie. I’m the same way about everything you mentioned. I have no idea why I was never into Goyard. 🤷🏼♀️
Glad you feel the same!
Personally love it but took me a while to get one! One because I live in Australia so there wasn’t a store anywhere near me that didn’t require a plane 😂 The first store I saw was inside Hong Kong’s Harvey Nichols many many moons ago & well there wasn’t any bags displayed just the trunks & I guess you had to ask someone but couldn’t find anyone to ask 😆 Second time I was at the store inside Barney’s New York & wanted to buy something SO bad, no lines, literally re-stocking new colours & the clutch had just launched & I left empty handed 😂 Third time I was in Paris & I was determined to buy something at the OG Store & lined up for 40 mins on one side to find there was nothing I liked there in yellow & they told me there was much more across the road so then I waited another 20 mins across the road & after being there easily over an hour & a half, I had bought the St Louis PM in yellow! The service was AMAZING!!! I had the best conversations with everyone & highly recommend the experience! I also have the Neverfull MM & between the two, I prefer the Goyard - it’s easier to use as it fits just as much but sits better on me, don’t need to worry about the canvas - a lot of people don’t realise it’s waterproof inside & out, the SA literally said to me I can use a hose to it to wash it if I wanted 😂🤣 We had a good laugh! I didn’t have plastic on mine but in some countries it’s there because of the expectations of clients from that country & a way to help with exchanges/returns. When I worked at LV, Asian countries did this as it was preferred as a whole - it meant to them it was brand new & untouched by others before purchase. We didn’t do it in Australia as that’s not what clients considered was luxury & yeah it always causes drama trying to explain this 😅 Highly recommend a Goyard piece! Always on the hunt for another! 😃
The plastic is there to deter people from wearing the bags and then trying to exchange them. Goyard allows exchanges up to 14 days after purchasing as long as the plastic over the handles is still intact.
I agree with you that the price difference between the EU and US is crazy. The mini anjou comes out to $2850 after tax in NY. At the paris boutique it was $1890/1950 and then you get the vat refund. I like the brand but have a difficult time paying the US prices.
I have the Artois in grey and I absolutely love it. I would not want a leather tote of this size because of the weight. I'm also not a LV girl as that is too loud for me. I'm not eyeing any other GY pieces at the moment but I do love this tote, it's so useful and stylish. That said I did stand in line at the Milan boutique to get it and I'm not proud of that fact. 😂
We do what we have to 😉😂💖
Funny because I just went through the same process. Wanted a Goyard, ended up with Celine. Very happy. 10/10
I love my Goyard St. Louis PM in burgundy. I got it at Bergdorf’s in 2009/2010 before there was a Goyard store in NYC. Granted I don’t use it regularly but It’s still in perfect condition. And, for whatever reason, I get a lot of compliments about the bag from men. 🤷♀️
I love my Goyardine! Seems I am one ofbthe few that loves the brand. 😂😂😂
Used to work at Barney’s, before they closed, and I remember there was a Goyard inside the Madison location. The brand did not appeal to me either, but I remember the knock offs of Canal street looked EXACTLY like the original.
It was very hard to tell them apart from the thin canvas and the plastic. Slightest differences were in the printing and the trueness of the colors to the originals
Love you so so much Cassie thank you for always making me smile and always brighten up my day you will always be my favourite UA-camr and my inspiration hope you have a beautiful weekend ❤❤❤❤❤
Love you! Have a spectacular weekend 🤩🤩
And YES, The#nkuwan Tote! I have in Candy Pink and I've been rocking my "Barbie" bag all summer. Yay!
I love the picture you painted with the 1850s Orient Express reference. Totally got it 😂. I like the Alaia better.
Goyard is just that 1 brand that makes me say….. Why? Why buy? Why waste money? Why waste time? No mam
I was absolutely IN LOVE with my Goyoard Voltaire tote and I had to sell it because it was such a hassle to carry if I put all my things in the bag. Now I only intend to keep two of my Goyoard SLGs and selling one of them ❤
Everyone is buying the St Louis tote and complaining that it’s too thin…they should bump up to the Artois, that tote in my opinion is a better comparison to the Neverfull and in my opinion is way better then the Neverfull because of the security when you need it and reinforced leather corners.
I think the rise of Goyard especially the totes are in recent years also highlights the shift away from mini bags because even the mini Anjou isn't mini in TBE terms !!
I have a Goyard Hardy PM that I use for work and it was a great buy. Ideal size, secure and it isn’t a Goyard style you see much of.
