- Is it just me or has Goyard been everywhere recently? So let's sit down and go through the obsession with Goyard and why I don't have one. If it's not the Goyard Saint Louis, or mini Anjou then it's the Saigon or the Artois and there seems to be no dodging the love of Goyard at the moment but...why does everyone seem to love it? Let's discuss...ENJOY!

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. 😊
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!😍🤩
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?
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 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 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'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?
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.
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
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)
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 TH-camrs. I love you, keep it up.
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.
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 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.
"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 :(
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! :)
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
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 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 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.
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 never been able to get excited by Goyard.
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
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 TH-camr and my inspiration hope you have a beautiful weekend ❤❤❤❤❤
Love you! Have a spectacular weekend 🤩🤩
I really like my Goyard Plumet cross-body bag for traveling/sightseeing. It is light as air and not bulky at all.
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 very much appreciated how you painted the scene with Poirot references!
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!
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.
Hi Cassie!! I always love your analyzing style video ❤
Yay, thank you!💖
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 love my St Louis GM! I would buy a PM one . I love the fact that it is lightweight, resistant, waterproof and really good when traveling . I just love their history and craftsmanship. There is Goyard store in Sao Paulo, Brazil and they offer an amazing customer service.
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.
I loved my black PM. After a little bit of wear, the shine definitely gives luxury.
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 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
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 love Goyard. Have actually bought a few of them via e-mail from the Paris store to Sweden.
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. 🤷♀️
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!
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 ❤
Absolutely love the Orient Express/Hercule Poirot reference. Gave the perfect image…
It's so annoying when they try to sell people plastic for the price of gold.🤦♀️
❤❤❤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!
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?
You must have been reading my mind, This video is just in time for my trip to Paris & the Goyard store. Very informative. I hadn't yet decided what I wanted.
I read your mind 😉💖
I love the Goyard orange color and that’s it. I feel like for the price other luxury houses offer more. I stopped by the Bergdorfs counter and they had such a small selection of mostly their neutral colors bags.
I love their orange, blue and green colors.
You are always on point!!! That's why I love you!!! 🥰🥰
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!
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 love love love Goyard. Been buying it for years and it’s delicious! 🤤
cassie uploads my heart goes Yay!! i just love her ..weekend is set
🥹💖
😍@@CassieThorpe
Cassie I am so so so excited to watch this video and your videos are too too too interesting you are my inspiration and I wish you have a best best Friday💖💖💫
I hope you like it! 💖
I love the picture you painted with the 1850s Orient Express reference. Totally got it 😂. I like the Alaia better.
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!!
Thank you. Valid points.
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.
I ❤ my Goyard collection.
I’ve heard they also stand up to wear as well as comparable bags, and if that’s true I really agree the premium isn’t worth it. It feels more like a flex than a fashion statement
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.
Double thumbs up 👍 for mentioning Hercule Poirot. Talk about classy! - Amy
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 !!
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 :)
I agree! You made a good choice with the Celine!
Thank you! I love it!
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
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 hadn’t seen the Saigon before this video 😮 it’s pretty. I own 2 St. Louis (purchased by phone & never walked into a boutique). I used a personal shopper 😉 & have therefore been able to email directly with Goyard due to my previous purchases. But now my heart has been leaning towards an Hermes 🍊😅 lord help me lol 💸
Great video, as always ❤
Wow, it’s not every day that I watch a YT video and see my own photo featured 👀 I chose the Mini Anjou in navy because I wanted any easy carefree day-to-night. Would definitely recommend!
Funny because I just went through the same process. Wanted a Goyard, ended up with Celine. Very happy. 10/10
the bag is amazing if u manage to get one you will love it
I always look for something a bit different. I have a Goyard messenger bag that I love for full days of shopping in NYC or Chicago and yes-love the Bergdorf location. It feels like a more grown up Neverful to me and not everywhere. Yet.
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?
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
Loved the Orient Express storyline ❤ 😊
I got the Orient Express picture! Made perfect sense.
We’re on the same wavelength 😉
Watched immediately. Same here, wary of Goyard. And I get the Hercule Poirot reference, but ain't no way he's getting on the Orient Express with plasticky thin luggage. 🤭🤭🤭
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.
Somehow the *condup* Classic Chanel Flap Bag is a must for me
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. 😘
I agree with all the reasons you state!
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.
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 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.
Youve pointed out some great points Cassie. Also that plastic around the handle 😣 Im with you!
The plastic around the handles are there because if you remove it, you can’t return it. It’s to deter people from using the bag or ruining it, then returning it.
Honestly I wish more luxury brands kept the plastic on. There are way too many people complaining about receiving a “returned”, used, or floor model. You can’t remove then put back on the plastic for most goyard bags, so at least you know you’re not getting an used bag.
@@NiftyNesty Had no idea. Thanks for sharing.
The go yard St. Louis tote reminds me of a reusable shopping bag from pound land.
Love the Hercule Poirot reference. Instantly transported to the Orient Express
😉💖
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.
🤣you had me at Hercule Poirot 🤣 New sub
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 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 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.
So excited! 🎉❤
