Finally got my Goyard bags from the group buy from Elsa
Elsa was so wonderful to work with. I will buy from her again. She answered all the questions to the best of her ability and was so patient with me since it was the first time I bought any rep bags.
This was my first time buying a rep Goyard. I ordered the Boheme in the Ice Blue and the St. Louis PM in Meadow Green. I have 2 authentic LE St. Louis (PM-blue pearl & GM-Silver metallic).
1st - when I opened my package there definitely was a plastic smell coming from the bags. I’m hoping that once I air it out it will be better.
2nd - when comparing my St. Louis (both PM & GM) to the rep, the canvas was much thinner on the rep. Even though my St. Louis r a few years old, the canvas is much sturdier and bags stand up whereas the rep flops over. The 2nd pic show the difference between the rep on the left and the authentic on the right. There is a slight difference in color if the canvas but in truth who is looking at the inside of the bag and comparing.
3rd - maybe because I have 2 metallic/pearly colors and not the regular colors that Goyard normally has, I was a bit underwhelmed with the color of Icey Blue and Green Meadow. I do have to say that I have not seen them IRL so maybe my expectation was not realistic.
4th - the Boheme was a new style for me so I really didn’t want to spend thousands of dollars and find out that style would kit work for me. Then having to go through selling and worrying about getting scammed was something I try to avoid.
5th - the stitching was the exact same as my authentic bags. There were no issues.
6th - the leather seemed to be very good quality. Very similar to my authentic bags. No issue there.
7th - I didn’t care for the magnetic closure from the authentic or the rep. There was a difference in the imprint of the Goyard symbol.
I know there seems to be a lot of complaints but overall I’m happy with the purchases. I got to try a new style without investing a lot of money.
Hope this helps.
