Okay, but do I have to be the first person who bought the bag respectively is it searched by a (your) name - or is it just the number of the bag? If I buy a bag preloved I have no receipt and I am not in their computer.
Want to get my first Goyard tote, but am worried about the quality comments...

They searched by the name and address. I don't know if their policy is the same everywhere and I didn't ask what they'd do if they didn't find the records. But no harm bringing it to the shop to check. Does your bag need fixing?
I have not one yet but I'm planning to get one pre loved - there is not even a shop in my country (Germany). I just try to understand the process.
My St Louis Pm in green has been my everyday bag for a year and I totally don’t baby it - it’s my laptop bag now and I don’t see any signs of scuffing or anything !
All of my St Louis’, Jeanne and Marquis have never had any problems at all. They all look new in fact after carrying them for years. I’ve had my wallet for probably about ten (!) years and have used it every day and it has a bit of cracking at the seams but other than that it looks and still works great. They are very well made and hardy.
My St. Louis are fine and I don’t baby the bags (I have black and geey pm’s). My mom gave me a marquises (she almost never wore it) and I noticed the straps were cracked after I wore it twice (both times with almost nothing in the bag) I asked her if she did anything to crack the straps and she said no, bc she forgot she owned it. So it’s a mystery. We took it to Barney’s for repair And they said it sometimes just happens. anyway, they told me
It wasn’t bad and suggested I keep it for awhile, but it always bothered me so I eventually sent it to be consigned.

Sferics, I could be wrong, but when my mom and I went to barneys, (perhaps summer 2018? ) they didn’t seem to have any issue with checking who owned it (she was the original owner, so it wouldn’t have been an issue anyway, but she couldn’t remember whether she bought it at Bergdorfs or Barneys). IMO, just make sure the straps are in good condition whether you buy it preloved or boutique fresh, and you should be fine.
looking forward to seeing you post whatever color you decide!
I have a white artois I got from neiman and a pink claire I got in goyard Singapore.
Artois did have a little yellow thing going one time but it disappeared when I used it again last week. Kinda weird but I guess that popped up because I clean my bags with anti bacterial wipes. Perhaps I kept it too early and didn’t let it dry? I cleaned it again and let it dry overnight, and sure enough, everything was white before storage. The handles had loose threads during initial use so I just pulled/yanked them out
Been great since then.
my pink still looks brand new
both bags have been in the heat & slopes, through airports and flea markets

@880 Thanks! 
But too late when it comes to the condition In the meantime I got a very preloved one (or to be more precise: a loved to death one ), I stumbled on online while actually searching for bag like you described.
The price was super low and I thought it was a riskfree way to to find out if the bag fits my needs and daily life...depending on if I'd succeed in this case with tinkering around
It turned out not perfect, but pretty ok:

I tried to repair this ragged Saint Louis Goyard
Hi there! I found this very, very, very preloved Saint Louis online for a low price and to keep my tinker-gene busy I bought it and tried my best to refurbish it. The leather was very greyish and there were holes in all four corners, also the glacing was cracked. It's not perfect now but I...

I definitely think so. The double coated canvas should make it more durable and less prone to holes. However I don’t own the regular St. Louis, so I can’t say for sure.
Keep in mind different styles are made with different thickness canvas and leather. The popular St. Louis is flimsy compared to other styles because it's meant as a beach tote, the canvas is thin and you can feel the difference between that and the Anjou which is lined with leather or bthe Bellechasse which is just thicker inside layer and outside, also thicker firmer leather straps. If you want it to keep more of SL shape then it's not really for daily computer/binder/textbooks (aka weighty heavy items) stuff while you track across midtown in and out of the metro, but if you don't care about it drooping and slouching down, then carry all the cans you can
. I know someone with the SL and use it as their work horse for a few years now and the bag still looks nice and fresh but that's also because (I suspect) they literally go from car to office and and the bag sits on a desk all day and then back in her car and home office desk. It's used but not really used if that makes sense. Pick the style which most appeals to you and enjoy it! When it's loved enough either re-home or repair or better yet get another oneHello, I am deciding on the same purse but couldn't decide if it would look too small on me. I'm lean, athletic build but I am 5'8". I was afraid it would look like a mini purse on me. I am considering purchasing through the phone so I won't be able to return it. I have a LV Neverfull and feel like it is too big for daily wear so I knew I didn't want the Artois MM. I am looking for an everyday purse without it looking like a mini purse on me. Hoping to get some insight! TIA!
