First off, let’s be real, Goyard is like, *the* name. You see that cross pattern, you *know*. It screams “I have more money than sense… but I have damn good taste, too!” Or maybe just “I REALLY wanted this wallet, and now I’m eating ramen for a month.” Either way, it’s a statement.
I gotta confess, I haven’t actually *owned* a Goyard wallet. But I’ve seen ’em. I’ve drooled over ’em. I’ve even *almost* bought one a few times. The Victoire wallet, in particular, keeps pulling me back. That classic design… and you can tell it’s made of quality materials. (I mean, *duh*, it’s Goyard!).
What I *do* know is people *swear* by ’em. Like, obsessively swear. You see ’em popping up on Reddit—r/Outlier even mentioned ’em! And the listings… damn. Singapore, Hong Kong… all these fancy places, flaunting their Goyard goodness. Makes you wonder if you’re missing out on some secret level of cool.
And the “Chic du Chien” thing? Okay, Edmond Goyard was a genius. I mean, pet-chic? They were thinking about this way back when? That’s some next-level branding right there. Plus, it gives it a touch of history. It’s not just a wallet, it’s a legacy!
Now, is it *worth* the price tag? That’s the million-dollar question, isn’t it? (Well, maybe not a *million*, but def a few hundred at least). Honestly? Probably not *practically* speaking. You can get a perfectly good wallet for way less. BUT… it’s about the experience, the feeling, the… status? Yeah, I said it. Status. Sometimes, you just wanna feel fancy.
And the leather? Supposedly top-notch. “Canvas/Calfskin” they say in the description. It probably feels amazing to the touch. I imagine that the leather just gets better and better with age. Like fine wine or a well-loved pair of boots.
And let’s not forget about the Gazette Goyard! Like, seriously, they have a newsletter to showcase their stuff? That’s dedication. I can only imagine the beautiful pictures and descriptions of the new wallets that they have, including the Victoire wallet in black.
I also found this Saint-Lambert wallet that is also a phone case. How innovative! I guess this wallet will protect your phone from everyday stuff.
