Goyard St Louis Tote Wear and Durability?

Any updates on the St Louis tote? I wanna buy a yellow one in PM size but wondering how would it held up through time.

I've had mine for almost 10 years and I use it for grocerys, going to the beach, or carrying my dog in the bag to the vet or dog park in the winter.

Does the St. Louis have a side seam like the Neverfull has on each side? I can't really tell from the pics. Thanks in advance!


No, the bag dose not have side seam like neverfull bags from LV. That being said; are you going to use it as it was originally designed for, a beach tote, grocery tote, or as a daily use bag. If you look inside the bag it is not have the signature Yellow like all the other goyard products. If you want to have a "neverfull bag" get the larger of the St Louis. The bag can take a beating and heavy load of grocerys. I took some pictures of mine I hope it help.

So the bag does have like a split in the material but it's only on one side? Sorry for asking so many questions, just trying to understand the design :smile: So instead of the split being on both sides like the Neverfull, it's only on one side?

Thanks for the pics btw!

It's on both side have it - the bag would look awkward if it was only one side it would look like triangle from The top looking down at it.
 
So, my 4 yr old light blue St. Louis GM's corners has started to get bad. The handles have chipped a couple of yrs ago and I accept that but the corners! All 4 of them. This is bad. It seems like the paint has just started to come off but it is very concerning. I LOVE my Goyard and cannot live without it. I use it a lot and twice a week carry a laptop with it also (and that will stop now, I am not going to over stuff my Goyard anymore).

I purchased it from BG so I will make a trip to the store sometime soon.

Just so I have an idea, does anyone know how much is it to replace the handles? Does the Goyard do the leather reinforcements? I quickly searched online and found at least 2 websites that offers to do this. If Goyard does that, how much does it cost?

Thanks!!!

I have a 2 year old Goyard St. Louis & my corners are also wearing. I emailed the SA at Barney's that sold it to me. She said they send it to a local repair shop to have leather reinforcements placed on the corners. It's $145. I don't know about the handles. I'm not having problems with my handles yet.

By far the way, do you still like the light blue color? Even though the corners are wearing, I love the bag & want another one. Crazy I know. I can't decide between the gray, light blue or yellow.

Been said and will say it again..how awful that Goyard doesnt even have it's own people for repairs.

I do not see any fading at all - i still love the light blue color!
 
Hi! how would a st louis gm compare with a LV Neverfull ? I am debating getting rid of my NF GM now that I have a St. Louis Gm, but I want to make sure that it can hold the weight of my 13" macbook air, and several books, or if I can load it up like I can my Neverfull. Thank you!

I recently traded in my DE Neverfull GM for a Saint Louis GM, but that was only because I couldn't justify owning such similar bags and I like the softer leather handles on the SL and the chevron print. However, if you're going to carry heavy items like a Macbook, I wouldn't recommend the SL. It's a very lightweight and sturdy tote, but I don't think it's meant to carry heavy things. The canvas is much thinner than the Neverfull. I would definitely not load up my SL like I did my Neverfull. HTH!
 
I load my St. Louis with everything and the kitchen sink. Books, laptop etc. I use it as my work tote and no problems at all. I just got another gm today. Yellow for the summer. I've had my black gm for three years and it gets regular use and no issues.
