I never look at it so closely until your post with pictures. But until recently this bag was stored hanging up if not in use. Don't know if this helped straightening the wrinkle.
Hi all! My handles are cracking and look really bad. I will be in NYC in mid November. Does anyone know the replacement cost and turn around time. Any info is much appreciated.
HOW have they not improved the quality of this bag? I find that shocking... Clearly MANY people have issues with it
Hi I just got my GM in Black and Tan and was surprised by how thick the handles were. I've had an LV Neverfull MM In monogram and the handles are very light and I've had it for 5 years without a problem. But I just got my Goyard and the first thing I noticed was that the straps are very thick so maybe that's why they're cracking? I don't know if I should keep it now after seeing this thread. And get an LV GM NF instead...
Hi, I have a question - has anyone noticed paint rubbing off on your St Louis GM or PM when worn over your shoulder and it rubs against your clothing? I am wondering because I just got a GM and used it today, walking for about half hour. I have no damage done, but as I was walking I noticed my bag was rubbing against my coat with every step. I am wondering if that will cause the Goyard print to fade or rub off? TIA
I wore my yellow Saint Louis GM against a black romper and the dye from my romper rubbed off on my bag! I was so upset but tried rubbing the black on my bag with a non-alcoholic baby wipe and got most of it off. Also, I've only worn my Goyard bag a few times and the handles are already cracking. So disappointing. I love how light and easy this bag is to carry, and I always love seeing girls carrying other colors, but I don't think I'll buy another one because of these quality issues...
I'm sorry to hear that, and I also would be upset if my handles cracked after carrying it only a few times. Have you considered getting it reglazed? As for the color transfer, this is the concern I have with all of my light colored bags. I get color transfer a lot when I wear light bags that rub against my clothing which is why I tend to choose when I wear these bags, and nowadays I purchase darker bags. I'm glad you were able to get most of the color removed.
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.....
