St Louis Strap Cracking/Breaking Problem!

That's a good question, I think the answer is - it depends on how quickly I start to see the bag age. I just got my bag on Sunday (black/black GM) and have used it every day since then with no problems so far. But this site and the stories shared have terrified me. Despite the premature aging I read on this forum, I decided to get the bag and take a chance. But I am not someone that wants my bag to look new forever. If my bags handles started to crack within only a few months or just after a few days of use, or the Goyard print started to rub off within a few months - then yes, I would be 'really' upset. But if it starts to show wear after say like 6 months, I don't think I would care. It's like a brand new car - the first scratch is painful and then it just becomes part of the car, a story.
I see used Hermes bags, and unglazed LV bags, and Goyard bags that are aging with holes in the corners and I actually love the way it looks. I have a longchamp bag that is 10 years old that has holes in the corners and I just love it (ok yes it is slightly cheaper than Goyard, lol!). Before I bought my bag, I saw a woman carrying a Goyard PM and I started to talk to her. Her bag is four years old and it had aged - and it just looked great!
Haha I totally agree. It's true the first scratch always hurts and then you get over it!
I love my yellow bag but I almost wish I got a more season-neutral color because I don't think I'm going to buy another, or at least yet. Thinking it might be best to diversify my bag collection before I double-up!

I think yellow is gorgeous, I hope you continue to enjoy your Goyard, despite and wear it may show
Yes, diversifying is always a good idea.
I am thinking, if I enjoy my St Louis, I may go for the Bellechasse next. It's double the money but more substantial. Time will tell.....
I am in Toronto as well, and there are no stores that sell Goyard. Holt Renfrew carried it for a very very short time approx 10 years ago. You would have to go to the US or Europe to purchase your bag.
Hi
I just received my grey one two days ago And two sides of the handles are the same picture as your black handle. I don’t know if this is normal. Please let me know if you heard anything.
so I sent the pics to goyard and they claimed it was fine and normal. The pic is the straps on my grey handle
