Okay, so, a Goyard tote. The *it* bag, right? The one everyone’s drooling over? You’re probably wondering if you should take the plunge and, like, drop some serious cash on one. I get it. The allure is strong. They’re chic, understated (well, kinda, considering the price tag), and scream “I have my life together…sorta.”
But lemme tell ya, deciding whether or not to buy a Goyard tote is more complicated than figuring out your taxes. It’s a *whole thing*.
First off, the elephant in the room: the price. We’re talking *serious* money. Like, “maybe I should just take a vacation instead” money. And you can’t even buy them online directly from Goyard! You gotta find a store, which, depending on where you live, might mean a whole trip just to *look* at a bag. Talk about commitment issues.
Then there’s the “is it *really* worth it?” debate. They’re totes, ya know? Fancy totes, sure, with that iconic Goyardine canvas. But still… totes. You can grab a perfectly good tote for, like, a fraction of the price. But, BUT… the Goyard has that certain *je ne sais quoi*. It’s the craftsmanship, the exclusivity, the feeling that you’re part of a very, very small and very, very rich club. I mean, if you’re looking for something that screams wealth, maybe get something else. Goyard is the opposite.
Personally? I’m torn. I kinda, sorta, maybe, desperately want one. I’ve been eyeing the Anjou, which some people say is a better value (whatever *that* means when we’re talking about bags that cost thousands, lol). But then I think about all the other things I could do with that money…
And the whole “overhyped” thing? Yeah, it’s a factor. Are you buying it because you genuinely love the bag, or because you want to impress strangers on the subway? Be honest with yourself.
Look, there’s no right or wrong answer here. If you can afford it, and you love the way it looks and makes you feel, then go for it! Treat yourself. Just maybe, *maaaybe*, sleep on it first. Do your research. Stalk some Instagram accounts. Maybe even visit a store if you can.
