Louis Vuitton le genie du style - Навчання та стиль
Owned goyard but seriously their canvas is thinner and felt cheaper than Louis Vuitton canvas imo. You still can love both though without discriminating the other. Cheers
Again I explain why in this video. It has nothing to do with being cheaper...there is no plastic so it is less rigid. Goyard st Louis is not for heavy stuffs.
I am a customer of both brands. I wish people would stop comparing the St. Louis to the Neverfull. People should compare the Artois or the Anjou to the Neverfull instead. The Neverfull is a workhorse of a bag. The St. Louis was designed to be a light beach bag and not intended for heavy loads or daily usage. The unfair comparison results in a lot of people purchasing the St. Louis, using it like a Neverfull, only to be disappointed when the St. Louis develops cracks in the straps and holes in the corners in under a year. I see a lot of people on UA-cam declaring Louis Vuitton to be the superior brand for this reason.
I love both brands but they serve different style functions as well. My Goyard bags are my daily bags (Artois, Anjou, St. Louis in several colors, Cap Vert, Petit Flot and Mini Alpin). My LV bags are typically on the trendy or flashy/loud side. Although in addition to those LV bags, I do have the Speedy 30 in Monogram and a Speedy 25 in Damier Ébène that I consider to be classics.
I’ve noticed that I get complimented on my Goyard bags a lot more, particularly by young men here in the US. My LV bags are seldomly complimented on except for a few of my artist collaboration bags or a few pieces from the men’s range.
In major cities here in the US, both brands are seen everywhere. I’d say in New York and LA, I see Goyard more. In my city, Chicago, I still see more Louis Vuitton but Goyard is starting to catch up.
And you are right, when I go to Paris, Goyard is carried by many people, and I rarely saw a Louis Vuitton bag. The last time I went, I almost wish I had carried a Louis Vuitton tote instead of the St. Louis I brought with me because everyone else had it too.
I wouldn’t say that Goyard has more prestige. At the end of the day they’re just practical objects. Currently, Goyard affords a person more “flex”. In this day and age of high quality fakes with more and more people happily buying them, I hope all these bags lose their flex. And people just buy what makes them happy based on style, design, functionality and craftsmanship.
Am not intending to become a French, so LV is good with me 😝.
This was fantastic. As a U.S. based woman, I am aware of the hype surrounding the Louis Vuitton brand, and actually a lover of their vintage pieces, as the quality is superior to the more recent collections.
Also, as an owner of a few Goyard pieces, I do appreciate the love and time placed into the craftsmanship. Larger companies and mass production seem to miss the mark with this, every time.
We do know that LV canvas is meant to be durable, right? As a LV Monogram lover, I take offense to the term tacky. Monogram can be very classy. Wear what you love, don’t let anyone decide for you what is tacky or not. 🤷🏾♀️
Plastic is NOT DURABLE. horrible for ocean and it takes century to fully degrade...
@@deborahcurtis1385 Just relax Deborah 😂 omg Goyard uses resin not plastic. There is NO plastic on Goyard bag. This my channel about Parisian taste. If you don't like it (and apparently you have a problem with it) just watch something else. There are plenty others channels !
@@Aliceinparisofficial It takes centuries to fully degrade and it´s not durable??!🤨
A well dressed woman carrying a speedy is an amazing sight… I saw this old lady carrying hers, so lovely, looking flawless and she looked at me and saw mine and smiled, I have 2 and they are both going to my daughter. I have 2 Neverfulls and 1 Galliera. Everything is going to be my daughters someday. That what is LV to me, timeless pieces, not that LV tackiness we’ve been seeing the last 10 years or so.
I still love Louis Vuitton but you make a lot of good points in your video. There is a lot of corruption in the beauty/fashion industry. Luxury is in the eye of the beholder and what makes a person happy is what counts!
well said ❤🎉
Exactly. If it makes you happy and feel good, it is luxury.
As an LV canvas lover, please just buy what you love. Walmart over lux, Goyard over LV or LV over Goyard. Anybody can be tacky when wearing Goyard, LV or Walmart. Elegance is how you carry yourself and the true test of elegance is rocking logos and still dont look tacky. It doesnt mean if you wear no logo and all neutrals you look chic. Calling people tacky is not elegant either.
For real, I don’t understand why people who love the LV Monogram are being called tacky. It’s so degrading. Not elegant at all!
Hello, please... never say people who are wearing LV monogram are tacky...the big monogram is. Usually Parisian don't like Logo.
Thank you. I live in Rome and LV is very popular here. Are Roman women tacky then? I have family in Paris and they luckily don’t have that attitude. Yes, Goyard may be more chic, but it’s also more expensive and sold in very few places. Additionally, the quality of the Goyard canvas is questionable. I’ve owned two Goyard totes and they both started fraying within a year.
@@Aliceinparisofficial This is your channel and this is your opinion, rightfully so. However, by saying the LV Monogram is tacky, you offend the people who love and wear these items. 🤷🏾♀️
@@Aliceinparisofficial But Goyard is covered in it's own "logo." The print is so recognizable now, that it's hardly discreet. I've also noticed that the print will often rub off easily and it doesn't appear to have the longevity of LV canvas. I hear that you're saying the monogram is tacky; however you are, indeed, insinuating that people who wear it are also tacky...it's called the "transitive relation."
Your style is amazing!! Love the cardigan and blazer combo! xx And very insightful video, keep rocking!
100% totally agree! I love Goyard ❤ not just because of the design and the canvas, but also, the fact that I had to line up to get in. It was actual hard work 😅
The line up was 2 hrs 😭 at LV one can just walk in easily .. as LV shops are every where in Europe but very few in Paris like just 2 shops
Loved this video! Very informative! ❤️
Thank you 🙏
❤your video & you are 1000% correct. Aside from the tacky logo overload that some people obviously like, many of the popular LV styles can’t even be considered “luxury bags” anymore. I haven’t taken my Neverfulls out of the closet in years because I’m kinda embarrassed to walk around with 1) bags that soooooooo many people have and have become way too common in the US, and 2) as I’ve matured, I now prefer “quiet luxury”, so much more chic.
in other words, desperately needing validation lol, quiet luxury is not a verbal statement you have to put out... you embody
Did I even mention quiet luxury in my video?? If I wanted validation I would have say that I love LV. My channel is about the Parisian style and life. I don't do things to get approved especially by reading your comments....
@@Aliceinparisofficial bravo
I'd be happy to take your Louis Vuitton Neverfulls & carry them around 😊
@@Aliceinparisofficial who made you the spokesperson for all of pairs?
This video is more biased rather than informative. Ended up sounding like a paid advertising for Goyard in my opinion.
Such a nonsense especially based on the "luxury youtuber" you are following.
I just want to point out that Goyard hasn’t been owned by the Goyard family since 1998. But it is still privately owned by Jean-Michel Signoles and his family. He resurrected the brand.
I hate the brand LV. It is so much copied! Here in Athens they even sold in their own boutique fake LV! It was a huge scandal and from this time I lost respect for this brand! It is a status symbol much needed for the poor people who want to pretend that they are millionaires.... Mostly worn by escord service girls....
PS. I really love that you introduce us the iconic french brands. Please make more videos like this...
Hi Alice - love watching your videos. Also do a video of the makeup that you use and what looks chic in Paris e.g the brand of the red lipstick you use etc
Love from bahrain
I prefer most LV styles over Goyard. I have four beautiful LV leather bags and a vintage canvas bag.
AND although I’ve never been in a Goyard store, I am told that the staff is not very nice. My experience with LV has been very nice, even when not purchasing.
My experience at LV has been the same. Nice customer service. I don’t bother with the Goyard freestanding stores anymore. I either buy from Neiman Marcus in Chicago or Bergdorf Goodman when I’m in NYC. The sales staff inside the Goyard boutique at Neimans are all very nice. At Bergdorf, Goyard is not its own boutique but just another brand that the store carries. I have a lovely SA there.
My friend lined up 1.5hrs last year in Aug to get into Paris goyard and after 5 minutes the staffs tells her she has 10 mins to choose and pay as they will close for lunch time . That’s how they treat tourists in Paris Goyard 😢
Sadly I’m starting to see mass produced counterfeit Goyard bags all over canal st in nyc
The goyard print looks like the pieces in a video game. Looks very cheap lol
Personally, since I have traditionally worn very little brown, and prefer black as my staple color, I have not worn LV and don't own any. I do have Gucci from my mother's collection and I collect Fendi. I also like Radley, London for its sturdy characteristics and the fact that the bags are made in England and well done. I love Goyard and am seeking just the right one for my wardrobe since I have dozens of black bags and totes. I love the dark pink, the green, and the yellow smaller size totes. Thank you again for this explanation. I had no idea that LV used plastic while Goyard uses resin. It's pattern is beautiful.
Hello Liz, I like vintage Gucci and Fendi, and I own FL tote bag, not yet Goyard. I am thinking to buy Goyard as a beach/vacation bag because it was originally made for that plus it is waterproof. I love the blue and pink one. Yes LV uses plastic. Only few people know that sadly because usually they are not curious about the quality and manufacturing process. It is the essence of luxury. I am tired to see people buying luxury like they are buying foods…
@@Aliceinparisofficial I think people just skim the surface of what is chic, classic, and luxury. They go by the latest fad or fashion. I had a French friend in New York City who always looked impeccably dressed. When I saw her closet, I was shocked. She had maybe two dozen items hanging with space between them. All black except for a couple of white shirts, polished cotton and silk, hand-made. Everything was of the highest quality and no one noticed she was wearing the same black skirts, blazers, dresses and trousers because she used Hermes scarves as clever accents and each outfit looked unique. I should have invested that way over the years and am disciplining myself to do so now.
People mix price with value. Luxury is not dead they just don't know what it was. Quiet luxury was always there... now it is a trend. I can mix something expensive with something less expensive even cheap but good quality. The comments are so funny really
@@Aliceinparisofficial L'une des raisons de suivre un Parisienne, c'est de comprendre comment les Parisiens voient les choses. Il m'est précieux d'avoir votre avis, puisque vous êtes celui qui connaît le sujet mieux que moi. Les commentaires semblent inutilement défensifs, malheureusement.
Radley is a great brand!
LV has become the symbol of the new money! I have bought Hermes, Ferragamo, and CD but never a canvas coated LV! 😊
I hate LV. I don’t own ANYTHING from this house. It looks cheap, tacky. Design is just horrible. Quality is the same. It is screaming « I want to show off because I can afford ». I don’t buy luxury because of the logo or to show off I can afford. I buy because of the quality, the beauty and the style….
CD is just as tacky by this logic lol. Birkin is so ugly... why does it matter, money is money, not like old money is something to be proud of
@@Aliceinparisofficial you are the one who is trying to show off by trying to be different lol look at your own style before calling others tacky
@@alileeisonethebridge I don't try...I have my style. I receive so many compliments about my style so at this point I don't care of random opinion on YT. I can mix a 10k jacket with 10 euros breloque. I don't care of price or logo.
@@Aliceinparisofficial lol sure, you can convince everyone else but convince yourself first. If you did, you wouldn't have the need to attack others for wanting something that you 'don't' in turn hoping to get approval and resonance.
Very nice topic! Thank you)))
That is a very informative video… thank you.
Thank you 🙏
Love this channel
What do Americans prefer? I’m assuming LV over Goyard. I’m sure there are American items that we don’t particularly care for but people in other countries love them 🤷♀️ I love to hear about Parisian style but I am an American at the end of the day, so I definitely prefer American style. I personally think both brands are just fine, it’s more in the way someone styles them.
Most Americans have never heard of Goyard unless they're a fashion major. I never cared for LV simply because of all that brown! Never understood the appeal. I enjoy lighter leathers and fabrics that look better with my skin tone & wardrobe.
You’re right, I’m sure most Americans have never heard of Goyard…..I think handbags are personal taste or they should be. Kate Spade herself said “if a bag is never really in it can never be really out”.
the drawing screams that this is a well-known brand barely louder than on Louis Vuitton. The same . All these brands are created in such a way that it would be screaming from afar that this is an expensive brand. The rest is your imagination
Goyards are not attractive to me and I e never been interested to purchase this brand. Strange that you say goyards are better quality yet my sisters bag showed terrible wear and tear within a year only using it 3 times yet her LV NF still looks great with barely any wear from 10 years ago. How goes that make sense.? I also see that in many of the comparisons here on UA-cam where the corners start to experience wear and the go yard company does NOT stand behind their brand. Sorry goyard to me looks tacky and cheap.
I explain why in this video. There is no plastic coat to protect the Goyard bag, only resin. Goyard offers a refresh service...It takes some time because they will repair the bag in their atelier in France. Anyway the NF crap is going to be discontinued so let's see what other tacky bag people are going to buy instead. I am so curious
Merci, Alice!
Thank you for this video! Very informative 🫶🏼 people think LV is better nowadays 😔
Bonjour, merci pour votre video. Qu'es ce que vous pensez de la collection Chanel cruise 23/24? Merci beaucoup.
Hello I don’t follow trends or the last collection. But you make me curious and now I will watch. Only thing worth buying in Chanel is the classic flap bag and 2.55. Some vintage tweed jackets, the rest is waste of money. Same thing about Hermes.
I love your channel.
I was just in Paris and bought a Goyard. I love both Vuitton and Goyard. To me, the Vuitton monogram pattern is beautiful. I don't consider it a logo, it's a pattern. The LV's are on the monogram to prevent counterfeiting. I also love the Goyard chevron Y pattern. It's a Y for the central character in the Goyard family name.
One way Vuitton blows Goyard (and Chanel for that matter) out of the water is customer service and after sale care. Chanel is a total joke - garbage quality and horrible after sale care. Goyard's quality is amazing, but their after sale care sucks, too.
All luxury brands have work done in other countries (and I'm not sure Goyard doesn't either). European Union law says only two manufacturing steps have to take place in a given country to slap that "made in" label on it. Goyard used to handpaint all their bags. They don't any longer. How can you possibly say every step of the manufacturing process is done in France? We have no way of knowing. But, with the amount of money these brands pay their workers, I doubt it's a Frenchman or Frenchwoman making that Goyard bag. It's like someone from China or Eastern Europe that now lives in France.
Thank you for all the amazing videos you put out. I love your country and the French people. Paris is always such a fun trip and the best place to shop.
Hello thank you. Goyard has only one atelier in Carcassone so I doubt they outsource in China...They confirm to me that the bags are made and assemble in their carcassone atelier do they outsource a few parts? I don't know but while many "luxury" brands have factories around the globe and not really in France. I am attached to that. And of course if you love LV go for it...
@@Aliceinparisofficial Yeah I just dont't trust any of these brands when they tell me anything was made in France. I don't really care, honestly, I like the product so it doesn't matter where it's made, but it's still dishonest. I'd say - rather than lying, don't say anything at all. I'm talking about the brands here, of course, not you.
Very interesting! Well explained and put together. Never heard of Goyard... 🙃... Where do you get the films from? Do you have to ask permission to use them? I recently got a Molleruns wallet. Not cheap either, but classy. Is this brand also known in France? Many thanks for your wonderful contributions. Great! All the best 😇😍☘❤
Hello thank you 🙏 from the official brands. As long as you credit, yes. I don’t know Molleruns and I did not find the official website of the brand only retailers.
@@Aliceinparisofficial Sorry, Mollerus ... 🙃 ..., Maison Mollerus Suisse. Here in Switzerland THE classic brand for women's bags, backpacks and purses ... 🙏 😍
Just checked. Yes they say « design in Zurich » but I don’t know where the bags are made. Honestly never heard about this brand. I know more about Swiss skincare which I love and I think they are the best in the world. I like Valmont masks for example. I grew up near Switzerland.
@@Aliceinparisofficial Swiss family company, founded 1984, CEO Mimi Mollerus, production in Ticino (CH) and northern Italy. I know nothig about Swiss skincare ... 🙃. Will take a look at Valmot. Thanks and all the best! 😇😍👌
Sorry, but this is your opinion.
It depends how LV is worn.
If you say so.
yes her opinion on her channel don't be so american
Goyard bags look equally tacky to me
Entièrement d'accord avec toi pour le monogramme LV, par contre j'aime bien le damier😅. J'aime bien Goyard ainsi que Faure' le Page.
Good info.
There is the 'damier' pattern in LV too, you should not stop at their standard LV pattern.
Well said 100% agreed
I've purchased more elegant bags at Walmart over LV. The brand, in my opinion, has become gauche.
What do you think of yellow and blue color St Louis Goyard tote? Which is your favorite color?
I love yellow and blue. Favorite color
Sorry but parisian don't purchase Goyard over Louis Vuitton. When you are in the streets there's more LV than Goyard.
Just went back from vacation full of true Parisian mostly for the 16th. NONE has a LV. Goyard of Faure le Page. A lot of tourists in the streets also people who don’t live in Paris. I live in the 8th Paris. No LV bags, very rarely vintage LV bags.
Love Hermès and Celine
Chic Absolutely classy and chic 😊
I love both. I think they both serve different purposes.
I am also not a fan of LV. I have an Artois tote from Goyard and I LOVE it!!
It's not the item that makes a person tacky. It's the person and how they carry the item.
Sorry Molly but I disagree. Maybe it is because of my old money style but they are vulgar and extremely tacky items and brands. Ex: Philip Plein
Vulgarity is also about thinking and promoting that you think you are old money stylewise. If your truly are you would not be needing a youtube channel to validate yourself and earn from it.
Duh😅
@@marumbaseji2880 I don’t need anything to validate who I am and what I think. It seems you do.
@@Aliceinparisofficial wow, you have an old money style but do UA-cam videos??? Just wow!
@@marumbaseji2880 💯this girl needs help.
What an elegant and beautiful voice ❤
stay away of all those brands: Goyard, LV, Channel and Hermes
Thank you for this video. Personally I have never liked LV. I have always liked Goyard. Though at the end of the day I am Jerome Dreyfus girl 😂
Hello! Thank you for your video spotlight on the quality of the Goyard brand. I have been thinking of adding one of their totes to my collection and look forward to visiting one of the boutiques in Paris when I visit again during the holiday season. I've never been in a Goyard boutique or touched the canvases so I'm looking forward to the experience. Hopeful that there will be a grand selection of colors and styles available.
I'm interested to know if you need an appointment to visit the store? Sure, I'm a tourist, but not one that will stand in line outside a store with the masses like people do at the LV Champs Elysees store. Time is better spent enjoying other wonders of the city!
Also, which Goyard location has the best shopping experience in your opinion?
Merci❤
Hello they have all the colors usually and models also. Sometimes you just have to order but no waiting list. I strongly suggest to go the St Honoré boutique. It’s the historique boutique and less waiting line. No need to have an appointment. Goyard staff are lovely, I told them I didn’t want to buy but I was here to ask questions for a future purchase. They really take the time to explain everything. My seller also recognized my Faure LePage right away saying it’s a great quality brand also. It’s totally different than LV in all aspects really …
The Goyard reminds me of my swimming totes from 80s/90s... not chic or classy at all
All of this is geocentric in nature and not universal. LV is a French brand, which to Parisians makes it domestic and boring. Frankly, I never see many women in Paris using Goyard either. Both enjoy great prestige outside of France, however. What’s foreign is always fêted and considered superior to the familiar. For an example, Americans today wouldn’t be caught dead in Tommy Hilfiger. It’s seen as domestic and passé. Yet the label still enjoys considerable caché in Europe. Polo Ralph Lauren is no longer as popular in the States as in Europe. Same reason. The well-heeled of the U.K. won’t go near Burberry or Fred Perry, despite both brands thriving as luxury outfitters in other countries. ALSO: Even though the Goyard print might not technically feature logos or letters, the pattern has over-saturated the market and become recognizable around the world as being Goyard. And you can thank ostentatious American rappers and Hollywood people for that phenomenon. Consequently, the print now registers just as vulgar as anything from LV Monogram. At least it does to people with sophisticated tastes.
Sorry Alice but I don't think Goyard is that superior to Louis Vuitton in terms of quality. I own 2 bags from the brand and they really feel the same as any other big luxury brand, like Louis Vuitton or Gucci. It is just a matter of styling, not quality. If we are talking in quality, Fauré Le Page stands out.
I own Faure le Page. I know that there is a huge difference of production between LV and Goyard and Goyard is much more high quality because of that. Do you own Moynat? I am becoming obsessed about this brand and I am thinking to buy my next summer bag from them.
@@Aliceinparisofficial I totally agree that there is a good difference between the production of LV and Goyard, if I had to choose one to be my everyday bag brand it would be Goyard, way more elegant.
I have heard of Moynat but never tried any of their products, is it really good?
I live on the French Riviera
No French woman wear LV
Only Russian American or Chinese !!
Thnx God I hate logos
Tbh for me logos are beyond tacky
Goyard bag looks like those shopping bags you find at the grocery store to me lol looks plasticky.
I love LV but I am switching to a more moderate quality bags due to too many duplicate.
goyard is 100 % natural while LV is plastic
My Goyard handles fell apart. Piece of crap.
