Artois MM & Bellechasse PM?

[weezer]

Hi, new to the Goyard world!

(I admit I held off on buying a Goyard for years due to random St Louis bag sightings which scared me away due to how poorly some of those bags had aged)

Flash-forward to many years later and I finally bought myself my 1st Goyard—an Artois MM—because I heard so many good things about this particular bag and that was what finally swayed me to try Goyard for a travel bag:

Pros:
-As I plan to use the Artois as a travel bag, I like the security of the zipper.
-I also like that the goyardine of Artois is thicker in comparison to the St Louis
-The corners of the Artois are reinforced with leather (In comparison to the St Louis’ notoriously wearing out in holes at the corners)

Cons: none yet, I just bought this bag

I am now seriously considering purchasing a Bellechasse PM as an errand/rainy day bag.

Questions:
Does anyone have both of these bags?
Is the Bellechasse comparable in durability to the Artois?

Thanks for reading this!

I love my Artois, it’s become my travel bag!
I can’t compare it to the Bellechase as I don’t own it. I can compare it to the Anjou however… the Anjou looks like a St.Louis but it’s better IMO, it’s lined in yummy leather so it’s reversible.
Because it reverses to leather it’s more substantial than the SL.

@Swanky Thank you for your input

I do have an appointment next weekend at SF goyard and I will check out the Anjou as well!

The Artois is such a great bag for travel and I look forward to traveling with Artois

Congrats! She's a beauty! Sorry to be off-topic, but how long did it take for them to do your monogram? I'm planning on getting an MM on an upcoming trip and am debating whether I want the monogram added.

Thank you
It took 3 weeks, I was feeling impatient but in the end I was glad I did it!

Update:
Ended up with the Bellechasse PM in grey today!
Here is a ‘comparison’ pic of the Bellechasse PM next to the Artois MM


I also liked the Anjou as well, oh boy this is a slippery slope

The SA smiled as he was packing up the Bellechasse for me and stated “You will likely be getting the St Louis in the future, everyone ends up getting one eventually”

Thanks for letting me share!
