I'm so glad it wasn't a huge loss for you! They are really difficult sometimes, especially the good ones.

I am hoping we get a good enough Goyard following here at tPF that we can have our own Goyard subforum. When that day comes I would be happy to put together a guide for them.

Def Check out Barney's and slurge on the real deal- it's worth it!!!

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.

Please post photos, that is the easiest way to be sure- It is really hard to give an opinion on a hypothetical. Post pics of the painted logo, seam, handles where they are sewn in, ect. The date code should be inside the interior on near the seam of a pocket and may be hard to find.

ETA: oops. I see the photos now

I need you to post better clearer pics. I need ones without glare. Try puting your camera on Macro and doing it in natural light with the flash off. That should help. I really can't see much but glare in most of the pics.

Did you buy this off ebay? The listing says it ended with no bidders (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...fvi%3D1&_rdc=2) Your seller on eBay is nuts for only posting 2 pics. They have decent feedback on designer items, but I'd still like to see your pics of the bag

I need a close picture of the painted logo and of the seam of the bag and where the handle is sewn in to be able to tell. Thanks!

I need close clear pics of the snap, the painted logo, and the seam where the front meets the base.
It bothers methat the seller claims to be against fakes, ect but the first 4 pictures are stolen, dustcover looks wrong, ect (I would ask about that).

Pink- Looks good, just need a picture of the seam where the front meets the base to confirm.

Black- Need close clear pictures with flash off- maybe taken in daylight. Too much glare to be able to tell. Need the painted logo (close and clear), seam, and front of pochette.

Hi everyone! Could you please authenticate this bag from me...I saw it at a local consignment store for a good price ($350). I don't know too much about Goyards and I definitely don't know how to spot a fake from a real bag so i snuck some pictures at the store....they are not too clear sorry, but i did talk to the sales associates who said they could give me a refund if its found not to be authentic.
Anyway, please let me know what you think...Thank you!!

And more pictures...

i asked the seller about the dustbag and she says that her friend's dog ate most of it... anyway, i'm just waiting for the pictures.

thanks a lot for your help =)

Hi! I need close clear pictures of the painted logo, the front seam where the bottom meets the side, and where the strap is sewn. I can't tell anything from the pictures because they are too blurry. Glad they offer a return policy just in case!
