Hi! I just found this thread. For some reason my computer is not allowing that I attach the pictures again. The original post is Authenticate this goyard...please (Hope that is okay! Perhaps I can have better luck from home tonight.) My husband bought this bag for me on a "business trip" to France. (Which is the beginning of a whole entirely new story which might not be appropriate for The Purse Forum!) As I was not with him when he purchased this, my paranoia must be eased somehow. He has the sales receipt from GOYARD PARIS which also shows for colored stripes (which we waited forever for!). I know after sending it off for stripes I should have no doubts, but a girl can never be too sure. Thanks in advance.

Steph...setting up a photobucket account is reccomended for large clear photos.

photobucket.com is free. Just set up the account and upload the photos into their own album. You can then post the album link here! Try that.

I took a look at your Goyard and I also need to see photos of the interior where it says Goyard and Made in. If you could please post photos of the receipt you have that could be helpful also. Try to make the photos clear and head on. Thanks.

Could you clarify-
Your husband purchased the bag and had stripes added so you had to wait for it?
Or
Your husband purchased the bag and gave it to you and your shipped it to GOYARD for stripes?

[steph.sanchez61]

I will try to do that. My husband has the receipt (and though I have seen it) I would feel it inappropriate to ask for it. After giving it to me, we shipped it back to GOYARD for the stripes. (That way I could choose the colors). I'm sure it is perfectly authentic, especially since it was sent off for personalization but I was not there when he purchased it, and after reading horror stories I want to make sure.

I still need the photos of the heatstamp for confirmation IMO.

Thanks for the advice. I uploaded the photos to photobucket. The link is http://www.photobucket.com/stephsanchez

Based on the photo of the snap, handles, and stamp it looks ok (Although the letters in GOYARD are spaced farther apart than usual but apparently this isn't uncommon).

The photos of the canvas of the bag are too small for me to tell difinitively IMO. I can't get an idea of the texture.

Goyard would not have hand painted it if it was not authentic.

A photo of the receipt could be the kicker if you can get it.

if this bag has already been sent to Goyard (which store?) to do the stripes, then there won't be a authenticity problem because I'm sure Goyard won't accept a counterfeit to be personalized.

Thanks to all thus far. Hopefully those pictures are enough. TO AMOR: the canvas is very much so textured. It is somewhat difficult to capture that in a photograph. There are actually several points of authenticity I have researched and it has all of those so I am fairly certain. Only a second look never hurts right? :)

Yup, always a good Idea. NP!

Red Vine, I would be careful with that one. That is just my opinion and please seek others, but there should be a colon between the E and the G (E:GOYARD) as well as a silver engraved snap. Another thing to consider is that there are only three pictures posted, no return guarantee, and very little description of the bag. The later things could be very circumstantial though. IMO, you should email the seller and ask the date of when the bag was issued. That might clear up some discrepancies

[steph.sanchez61]

Thanks to everyone who chimed in on my question! Unfortunately there have been a saddening set of circumstances in which I received the bag. x As I said, my husband bought it on a "business trip" to France, but the purchase was to ease his conscience about what happened on this trip. After I found that out, just looking at the bag makes me want to be ill!
