I live in NYC and they are extremely popular here. The ones most people see on the street I would bet are fake however as they were the #1 knocked off bag in the City in 2007. I have 2 of them: a plum colored one and a white one as well as the white card case. I love them!
Also, they have been around for more than 2 years! They are actually older than Louis Vuitton and have been around since the 1800's. They are extremely classic but the reason that people are seeing more in the past 5 years is because of the boutique openings in the US and in other countries. In New York, you can get Goyards at Bergdorfs and Barneys. The cheapest one, the St. Louis PM is $980 now. When I got mine about 2 years ago it was about $700.
