I have 3 different bags in 3 different colours bought within the past year. They all look the same.
No fading issues with any of mine. I have noticed that the initial look of the paint can vary a bit even on the same color bag. I think this is just a normal batch variation though. If I did notice fading, I would be more inclined to sell and buy a new one than to restore it.
I bought two this year and have been using it alternately everyday. Both have gone thru the rain like literally got wet and i dont baby my bags. They look same, no issues so far.
UPDATE:
My Belvédère PM bag is already in Goyard’s Hong Kong store (that’s where the after-sales rep told me to send my bag.) Kenji, the after-sales associate who’s been assisting me the whole time, is so helpful and patient with me. I only had to pay the shipping fee and nothing else. They said it usually takes a month for the bag to get fixed. So happy that Goyard offered me the complimentary repair.
All I can do now is wait for the bag to be shipped back to me.

Although off topic, any brand is only worth what one is willing to pay for it imo
Goyard is a nearly 200 year old (oldest leather goods company in business) trunks and leather brand from France, and up until relatively recent was actually hand painted.
Their customization is still hand painted by artisans, and I believe you can still request special orders, they’re apparently entirely hand-made in the Goyard workshops in southern France.
I’ve never heard of them, but Lancaster looks to be inspired by Goyard imo.
Quick search shows Lancaster started in 1985 in Malaysia and has a ton of skus…with a catalog of more than 750 leather goods per season. Since its beginnings, 4000 original creations have been added to the brand's offer.
I think you mean Delvaux here for the oldest leather goods company in the world?Although off topic, any brand is only worth what one is willing to pay for it imo

The company didn’t start as “Goyard” but was founded in 1792 under the eponymous name “House of Martin”.
Honestly, close enough together and I couldn’t care less who came first lol
My response is differentiating Goyard and Lancaster as the question was asked, Delvaux wasn’t compared.
Thanks for the info. Just was reading the thread and picked up on that inconsistency, but nothing to fret about. Clearly I love that Delvaux holds the title as I love that house!
I'd seen some of the prior discussion about color transfer with the St. Louis straps, and noted that Goyard had seemingly fixed the issue on a go-forward basis. I bought an Artois MM in fall 2017 and figured I was in the clear! I've carried it roughly 2-3x/week to work since then (and actually not at all in 2020 plus only 2 months in 2021), and over the past few weeks noticed the color was transferring onto my shirts! Sadly ruined 2 shirts before I actually noticed...
I wrote to the boutique where I originally bought the bag, and am hoping I can ship it out for replacement straps. I absolutely love this bag - I'd coveted Goyard since very early in my career and the Artois was my first real designer bag once student loans were paid off! While waiting to hear back from the boutique, I've been researching other work totes in case it can't be fixed or this issue keeps happening even with the new straps, but I just can't find anything else I'd be as excited about carrying!

The bag color rubbed off on clothes? What color?
I have a grey, a black, a green and a white and none have had any color transfer so I’m curious to hear!
It's a green bag and I (belatedly) found green rubbed along the shoulder area of 2 blouses, almost like paint you'd see on a car bumper after a collision. I'm glad to hear you haven't had any issues - gives me more hope this is a bit of a freak defect and I can still enjoy my bag once the straps are hopefully replaced!
Oh my I’m sorry about the color transfer from your straps! I have navy, green, and black and so far none have transferred on me so I wonder what happened with yours to make it do that.. I’ve even worn my bags in mild rain and super humid weather where I’m sweating (sorry gross) but luckily no color transfer.
Please keep us updated on what they say, I hope you can get them replaced with ones that don’t color transfer anymore.
