I definitely suggest purchasing at Barneys. I'm a loyal Bergdorf's customer and love shopping there. The customer experience is usually great but Barneys wins in this case! The reason I prefer buying Goyard at Barneys is because Barneys is the store that brought Goyard to the states. Goyard was trying to choose between having their bags and luggage sold at Barneys or Bergdorf's. Goyard decided on Barneys and that's why I buy their products at Barneys. It wasn't till a few years later that Bergdorf's began carrying Goyard. Just in case you want another bit of Goyard's history, it was established before Louis Vuitton. In fact, Louis Vuitton worked for and was trained at Goyard. For this reason, I choose Goyard over Louis Vuitton any day (plus it's more exclusive!).
