Just noted my VAT refund - it took 7 weeks to post.Thank you! I estimate savings of about 30% vs US and 37% or so with VAT refund. Hope we both get VAT refunds soon! They told me it would take a month but sounds like yours has been takin longer.
Thank you for the heads up! I’ll be going tomorrow and will be sure to get there right before they open. Hope the black cap-vert is in stock *fingers crossed*For reference, I was at Goyard St. Honore mid November. We tried twice: once in the evening and once before opening.
For the time before opening, we arrived 20 min before opening and was 10th in line. Still had to wait ~1.5 hours before seeing an SA.
When we entered the store, most of the SAs were in a meeting so only 3 SAs were available hence the long wait at opening. We asked for cap vert, mini alpin and belvedere. SA went to check and came back quickly saying nothing was available.
While we were deciding on a card holder, the staff meeting ended. THIS WAS KEY. We found out at this point that the staff meeting was actually SAs sorting through that day's delivery of bags. We ended up getting first pick of the cap verts (only 4 delivered that day). We could only buy 1 because the cap vert is the only style with a limit (1 per group).
Summary:
- Don't be the first few people to go into the store.
- Cap vert purchase limit (1 per group)
- Total bag limit (5 per year globally)
- No belvedere shipped in awhile
- Line cuts off 1.5 hours before closing
If you read carefully, the advice is not to go when they first open.Thank you for the heads up! I’ll be going tomorrow and will be sure to get there right before they open. Hope the black cap-vert is in stock *fingers crossed*
A friend waited 1h with 10 people in front of him. While he was waiting 40 people queued behind him.How have the lines been in Paris this week? My friend is going this weekend and is going to try Goyard for me on Monday. She was there last in November and the lines were insane when she tried for me - she couldn’t get in.

I went in late November and waited for 1.5 hrs to get in. Then made an appointment with SA to return on the following day. Bought something each day we were there.How have the lines been in Paris this week? My friend is going this weekend and is going to try Goyard for me on Monday.
