Hi Nicky!!! I need a close, clear, straight on pic of the painted logo but it looks good thus far. It is always helpful when you post the auction link as well. Thanks!

Hi there-- i posted some photos yesterday of a yellow Goyard tote that i was hoping somebody could authenticate, can you please look at those? it's the post before Nicky's. i have photos of the painted logo, snap, and other details. thanks!

I'm so sorry for the delay. This is fake IMO

. Did you buy this online? It would help if you posted the auction link.

i got it at a local second-hand shop. i thought that it was probably fake, but it wasn't expensive, so i thought i'd take a chance. after getting it home, and inspecting it more closely, i suspected that it was most likely a replica, and just wanted to confirm that before disposing of the bag. i'm familiar with many other brands, but Goyard is totally foreign to me. when i was in nyc last month, i was surprised to see so many women carrying Goyard bags. i should have put 2 and 2 together and figured that this was a fake, but i guess i needed to learn a lesson!!! fortunately, my 'investment' was small, so it's no big deal. i've actually learned from this experience, i looked at the bags on ebay and other places online, so that if i ever come across another Goyard tote, i might be able to make a better judgement call. is there an online guide with photos? i was surprised that there was nothing of the sort on ebay--no information about snaps, interior or other markings, etc, all that was there was a whole lot of not-too-specific information.

anyway, thanks for the help!!!!

Bunnyville,
Since you said you get to NYC, Barneys NYC and Bergdorf Goodman carry Goyard. Anything on ebay, bonanzle, craigslist or otherwise is usually a huge roll of the dice as to authenticity...

The fakers seem to love this brand now!!!! Beware.

Hi AmourCouture, thats sweet of you
since my friend got it for a while,the auction link's deleted...
thanks for your helpful comment i appreciate that ,here they are

Bunnyville · Aug 3rd, 2009, 02:24 PM

i will post additional photos if, for some reason, it might be authentic. i paid $5 for it at a local thrift store. i'm not in nyc anymore, i get there once or twice a year, so at this point, barney's is out. please let me know what i should take pictures of, and i will post them. thanks! Heidi

i would never buy a goyard bag on ebay, i don't know enough about goyard. other brands maybe, but not goyard!!!!!

I'm not a pro at this, but comparing it with mine..it doesn't look good.. let's see what the more experienced member say.

Hi, I recently purchased a used Goyard Ambassade from an online source.

The seller guarantees that the piece is authentic, and even had stripes painted on. The price is reasonable, around 60% of retail, and everything seems to check out. Except for the fact that I can't seem to find a datecode/ serial number tag inside the bag, anywhere...

can anyone please shed some light on my situation? Is it normal for the Goyard Ambassade to not have a leather tag showing the serial number? I know my wallet, my st. louis both have datecodes.

please help.

beauxgoris · Aug 4th, 2009, 06:48 PM

^^What is the website you are using?

the_ringbearer · Aug 4th, 2009, 06:57 PM

it was from ebay.
Item number: 160347516307

can you shed some light?

thanks,

the_ringbearer · Aug 4th, 2009, 07:04 PM

Hi, if anyone has any idea in regards to the authenticity of this bag, please share and I would be very much obliged.

the_ringbearer · Aug 4th, 2009, 07:06 PM

I can post more pictures if required, but most importantly I need to know whether it's normal for Goyard Ambassades to not have datecodes/ serial nubmers inside them.

many thanks!
