Is goyard still truely handpainted???

[CrackBerryCream]

I can give it a try!

Thank you in advance! Would love to hear your opinion

After seeing the up-close pics of the black one (especially the one with the better lighting) I think it was already stencilled. There are some irregularities (white dot pattern, bottom row, the last two white dots on the right give it away, the distance between them is bigger once and smaller the other time), but it seems like there were two stencils used?

Indeed both manufactured with stencils. Nowadays the stencil is pretty much the same, but I've seen some varieties in older bags.

Thanks for the confirmation! Do you have any pics of how the handpainted canvas looks like?

Your welcome! Here is a pic of the hand painted canvas. It's much more pointillistic, whereas nowadays the dots are more oval.

Thank you so much! now I'm able to tell them apart and I might need to go hunting on some sites for hand-painted models

What year was that Goyard made Mr. Vuitton?

What year was that Goyard made Mr. Vuitton?

Before 2006, don't know the exact date.

So I finally got my white Croisiere from Vestiaire Collective shipped to me and the canvas is surely handpainted. However, the datecode says PIR020073, which means it was made in March 2007, right? My bag bought in 2006 says something with 2006 in the middle and the other bought in 2012 something with 2012 in the middle, so I guess the datecode means 2007 and not 2003?

I was wondering how that can be if my black Okinawa tote from 2006 was already stencilled?

Regarding Vestiaire Collective itself I'm on the fence. While I like the bag per se it looked cleaner on the pictures, there was no mention of the tiny cracks in one spot of the canvas and what I really don't find okay: no mention or picture of the hotstamped intials of the previous owner on the inner leather tab of the zipper...

I guess they probably had some white hand painted canvas left when they produced your bag. I'm suspecting they made the change with black first, since the black Goyard color is the cheapest and more importantly most popular.
Sadly Goyard never gave any info on their date codes. But I'm almost sure the 4 middle numbers stand for the year. And the first and last for the season/month, still haven't figured that out yet.

Thanks for the explanation, sounds logical.

All 3 of my Goyards have 0 as first number and either 2, 3 or 4 as the last number. So in theory it might even be the season. However, the one with the 4 as last number is my 2006 black Okinawa, that I purchases in July 2006, so this makes me doubt that 4 stands for the season
