First things first: Forget about just hopping online and clicking “add to cart.” Goyard *refuses* to sell online directly. Like, seriously refuses. Any website claiming to be an official Goyard retailer online is, well, probably lying through its teeth. Don’t fall for that.
So, where DO you go? Well, the most obvious answer is… a Goyard boutique. Specifically, the Goyard boutique in New York City. It’s on East 63rd. *Super* fancy, I know. I’ve never been, but I imagine it’s all velvet ropes and snooty salespeople (no offense to any Goyard salespeople reading this… just, you know, the vibe). I mean, it *is* Goyard.
The other option? And this is where things get a little…gray. You *could* try consignment shops. The RealReal is mentioned in the text, and they *do* sometimes have Goyard. BUT – and this is a HUGE but – you gotta be super careful. There are a *ton* of fakes out there. Like, a ridiculous amount. I wouldn’t trust just any old consignment store. Stick to reputable ones with authentication services, even then proceed with caution.
Honestly? If you’re really serious about getting a *real* Goyard, and you can swing it, just go to the boutique in New York. Save yourself the stress and potential heartbreak of buying a fake. Plus, you get the whole “Goyard experience,” whatever that entails. Probably involves champagne and feeling slightly intimidated.
Now, lemme ramble a bit… I saw something about Goyard prices ranging from $86 to $18,000+? Like, WHAT?! 86 bucks? For what, a Goyard zipper pull? And 18 grand? For a bag? My student loans are crying right now.
And the price difference between the US and Paris? Oh man, that’s a whole other rabbit hole. Apparently, if you’re planning a trip to Europe, buying a Goyard there might actually save you some serious cash. Worth considering, right?
