First off, let’s just get this straight: if you’re gonna drop that kind of cash on a Goyard, you want to make sure it’s the real deal, right? I saw some… questionable “Goyard” stuff online the other day. Ugh. Like, R$599,00 for a Saint Louis tote? Honey, that’s gonna be about as authentic as a three-dollar bill. Just sayin’.
But seriously, the allure of Goyard? It’s the history, the craftmanship (yes, I spelled that right on the *first* try!), and the fact that they’re, like, *handmade*. And handmade means, well, you’re paying for someone to, y’know, actually *make* the dang thing. It’s not churned out by some robot in a factory (probably).
I mean, think about it. François Goyard himself started as an apprentice back in the 1800s. We’re talking *legacy* here. That’s the kind of stuff that makes a handbag worth, well, a small fortune. (Though, honestly, sometimes I wonder if *any* bag is worth that much, ya know? But then I see a really nice Goyard and I’m like, “Okay, maybe…”)
And it’s not just bags, is it? They do the small leather goods, the accessories… even, get this, Apple Watch bands?! Someone’s making a pretty penny off that one, I bet. But it’s probably leather, you know, so it’s supposed to be good.
Speaking of which, what *is* it about that Goyard pattern? It’s so… recognizable. It’s subtle but also, like, “Hey, I’m carrying a Goyard.” Kinda like a secret handshake for the stylish and loaded, lol.
Okay, personal opinion time: I think the Saint Louis is overrated. It’s a tote. A very, very *expensive* tote. Gimme something with a bit more… *pizzazz*. The Saïgon, maybe? That one’s got some structure. And, like, who *actually* knows what the best Goyard bag is? It’s all subjective, right?
Also, gotta say, “Ogbags.Ru”? Seriously? Just screams “knockoff” to me. But hey, maybe they’re selling legit stuff. I’m not judging (okay, maybe I’m judging a little).
