I'm 5"7 and I have the St Louis PM in white. It's one of my favourite bags and I used to carry my MacBook Air 11-inch in it. Due to the weight the straps have cracked and I plan to send it to Goyard for repair. Last December I bought a Faure Le Page Daily Battle 32 zipped in Red Ivress Ecailles Canvas / Burgundy Leather. Although it is a great bag I still prefer my St Louis because it is lighter. The FLP does have its pros like the pockets, the zip and the padded interior.

I have a St Louis Claire Voie GM (pink) that I have been using almost everyday in the past year. I overstuff it, treat it as a diaper/laptop/grocery shopping bag and it has held up incredibly well. I also use it for travel. I think Claire voie is thicker (coated inside), and the straps are more durable/thicker too. It is my most value-for-money purchase so far in luxury handbags.

I had a Black/Black St. Louis that I purchased in Paris and I used it pretty frequently. It was approximately 5 years old and I had no complaints until one day while using it I noticed the handles had gotten sticky from the sun and melted to my top. I got rid of it immediately, prior to this I had not had any complaints and no signs of defect.
I miss my tote and am now considering an Antois MM

I ❤ My GM! I use it as my everyday bag. The straps sit comfortably on my shoulder and I like how the bag sits against my body. I did purchase an organizer and a base shaper to help with structure and it’s definitely not too boxy.

Which purse organizer do you have. I’ve tried two already and it feels so bulky. I love the squishy structure more but so paranoid it will get dirty inside.

Would love to see action/modeling shots of FLP! :biggrin:

@Grande Latte, did you get the navy and/or burgundy? I love both colors, and then I read @hikkichan and I think, somewhere else on the forum, @Swanky mentioned she has or would get white for summer, and I’m tempted by that too. . .

@Dreamybabie, I am relatively careful (If I carry pens etc., they are in a case) and I think the Goyard is remarkably resilient stain wise. . .

@Kmazz39, @t1ffahnee, (Congrats on your new GM), @Zaphikel (would love too see you and your pink Claire Voie GM); and @bcwmcw, (would love to see you and your royal blue GM fully loaded) I would love to see how you model your GM IRL. . .

Hi! I’ve been thinking about getting the Goyard St Louis GM in gray. I love the light weight of the bag and how it looks so effortless. I’ve been watching a ton of videos and reviews online to figure out if the St Louis is durable and if the sizing would be good for me. I am 5”2 and wanted to make sure this bag wasnt too overwhelming. I already have the Anjou in the PM size, and have been itching to get a St Louis GM size. I would love to hear your thoughts on 1) why you chose the St Louis GM 2) wear and tear, how often do you use it? Do you baby your bag? Or overstuff it? Any quality issues? 3) would you get it again? thanks in advance!

I have a white GM and grey PM. Would be perfect if they had an in-between size.

I use them ALL THE TIME! the white did get dirty and old after 2 years but I was offered a brand new replacement because of an issue with the strap ✌ so now I do baby the white one. The grey is like new even after a year of frequent usage. The material is really durable. I often carry heavy groceries and shopping with it. The grey isn't very easy to match outfit though. Would get the black if I could do it again.

I love my St. Louis GM. I was hesitant about the size at first and originally thought that the PM size would be a better fit for me but I've grown to love it. I'm also a new mom so I love the extra space and the ability to carry a changing pad, wipes, hand sanitizer, water bottle, etc. When wearing it, I think the strap drop is perfect and the bag is comfortable. However, when I look in the mirror, I still do think the GM looks big on me but it functions for what I need it to.

I also bought the PM size after I got the GM because I thought the GM was too big and I wanted more of a purse. Apparently, downsizing wasn't a good idea because now I think the PM is too small :lol:. The drop on the PM works for me too but the GM is definitely more comfortable. I think I'm going to use the PM more when I have less to carry.
