First off, let’s be real: we’re talking about a lotta moolah. These ain’t your average, run-of-the-mill, throw-it-in-the-wash kinda bags. We’re talking *Goyard*. That iconic print, the handcrafted-ness… you’re paying for the name, the history, the whole shebang. Is it worth it? Depends. Do you *need* to impress your bougie friends at brunch? Maybe. Do you just want a functional bag for your phone and wallet? Probably not.
I see these things popping up on StockX all the time, people flipping ’em like hotcakes. Makes you wonder, right? Are they actually using ’em, or just trying to make a quick buck? See, that’s the thing with luxury goods. It’s almost as much about the investment as it is about the actual item, y’know?
And then you got eBay. Land of the lost (and sometimes, legitimately good deals, ngl). But buyer beware! There are a *lot* of fakes out there. Gotta be super careful, do your research, scrutinize those stitching patterns. I mean, you don’t wanna drop serious cash on a Goyard that’s actually made in someone’s basement, ya feel me?
Now, for men. A Goyard crossbody? It’s a statement. Says, “Hey, I’m stylish, I’m sophisticated, and I probably make more money than you.” Which, let’s be honest, is probably true if you’re rocking a Goyard. But it also says, “I’m comfortable carrying a bag on my shoulder, which, like, good for you, bro.” Some dudes can pull it off, some can’t. It’s all about the confidence, innit?
