First things first, forget about just clicking around online and finding a “buy now” button on the official Goyard site. They’re all about that *exclusivity* vibe. No e-commerce directly from them. Seriously. It’s like they’re deliberately trying to make it hard to give them your money. Which, honestly, kinda adds to the appeal, right?
Now, where *can* you actually find these elusive bags? Well, the most straightforward (and probably safest) bet is to head to a physical Goyard boutique. A recent article mentioned Goyard’s new digs in NYC, so that’s defo worth checking out if you’re in the area. Think fancy. Think white-gloved service. Think feeling slightly intimidated but also secretly thrilled.
But! Hold up! There’s a slightly less intimidating option. Bloomingdale’s! Yep, apparently they carry Goyard now. I saw something about that. Bloomingdale’s online *might* have some stuff, and you can often pick it up in store, which is kinda cool. Free shipping and returns, too, so you don’t have to commit from the get-go. That’s a plus.
Now, here’s where things get a little dicey (and a lot pricier, obvs). Resale markets. Sites like The Luxury Closet (TLC) are gonna be your go-to if you’re okay with pre-owned. Just… be *really* careful. Authentication is KEY. Get it checked by a pro, or you might end up with a VERY expensive fake. Personally, I’d be paranoid the whole time.
And speaking of prices… those babies are going UP. Like, constantly. I saw something about prices increasing in the US in 2025. So, maybe snag one sooner rather than later? Just a thought.
Okay, so, my totally biased and probably not-so-expert opinion? If you’re a Goyard newbie, stick to the official boutique (if you can swing it) or Bloomingdale’s. It’s worth the extra dough for the peace of mind. And always, *always* do your homework. Research, research, research. Because ain’t nothin’ worse than dropping a small fortune on something and then realizing it’s about as authentic as a $3 bill.
Oh, and one more thing! Be prepared for the marketing emails. Seems like clicking *any* button near Goyard-related content comes with the risk of getting bombarded. You can unsubscribe, obviously, but… just a heads-up.
