First off, let’s address the elephant in the room – Goyard is expensive. Like, *seriously* expensive. We’re talking “mortgage payment” expensive for some of their bags. So, when you see someone rocking a Goyard belt, even if it’s “just” a belt, it’s a statement. A subtle statement, maybe, but a statement nonetheless. Like that first bit says, throwing a Goyard wallet or belt with a plain outfit? Classy. Not screaming “I’m rich,” but whispering it. You get me?
Then there’s the whole “EU Stock” thing. I mean, what’s the deal with *that*? Probably just means it’s easier (and maybe cheaper?) to get one if you’re in Europe. Honestly, figuring out where to *actually* buy Goyard is a pain in the butt. They don’t really do online shopping, which is kinda bougie, right? So you gotta find a boutique or… well, hit up eBay, apparently? The Reddit blurb mentions deals on eBay. Deals on *Goyard*? Sounds kinda sus, but hey, maybe someone’s desperate to offload theirs. Just, ya know, be careful you’re not getting a fake. Goyard is, like, *the* brand for counterfeiting.
And Vestiaire Collective! That’s where the second-hand market comes in. I mean, a pre-loved Goyard belt is still a Goyard belt, right? Plus, it’s arguably a bit more… responsible? Less brand new, less consumption, all that jazz. And hey, maybe you can snag one for a *slightly* less ridiculous price.
Here’s my two cents, though. I see some people rocking Goyard belts with the logo facing outwards, like, *really* obviously. And honestly? It can come off as a little… try-hard. Like they’re *desperate* for you to notice. The beauty of Goyard, at least in my opinion, is its subtlety. The iconic chevron pattern is recognizable, but it’s not obnoxious. A well-placed Goyard belt, peeking out from under a blazer or paired with some simple jeans? *That’s* the vibe.
But hey, to each their own, right? If you wanna scream “Goyard!” to the world, go for it. Just be prepared for the side-eye. And do your research before you buy! Don’t get scammed by a fake. That would be… unfortunate.
