When in Milan.... We wait in line in the ugly heat August summer for a Goyard bag! why? Cause the…read morepeople who get it, just gets it.. who am I kidding we are irresponsible adults with our money. Rich people won't be caught standing in this line, in this summer heat. The perception of me being boujie is I love certain designer things. I wanted a Goyard bag because I was sick of my neverfull, everyone has it. Little did I know these girls all thought the same in line... HAHA!!
If you know Goyard, it is one of the brands that make themselves very exclusive. You can only purchase them in store, they will not ship, nor will you know their price until you physically go in a brick and mortar. They have locations in the US, none in Hawaii. You are also limited to only buy 4 a year!
The staff and service was amazing. The staff came by the line to hand out green umbrella and asked which item we had in mind to check stock. This why you aren't wasting your time if you wanted a specific item.
I ended up waiting for 1 hr with my portable fan, I never travel without this, it's a life saver in humid conditions. When I got in the store, it was tiny fits 8-10 customers plus 8 workers. My sales associate told me today the line is a little shorter sometimes people wait 2hrs minimum. WHAT!!!! 1hr was bad already but 2hrs!
At first I wanted a cross body and I really was set on the An jou mini tote. Asked the sales associate about white Belvedere and cap-vert. They only had red and blue in cap-vert, I tried on the red and my assigned sales associate he was so honest, he said girl that does not match you. Don't waste your money on that color or the style. Now that I LOVE you for being so honest and not just telling me to buy it. America would never do this, most lie to get you to just buy. More reasons to love Italians.
I was set on white and he told me the mini an jou is very popular, it's a true reversible tote. Inside was black leather and the outside was the Goyard canvas design. They didn't have white but they had black/brown, blue, green and red. Firstly he said red is not my color, green and blue are the popular colors right now but black/brown is easier to pair with everyday. I went with the classic color black/brown mini Anjou and got a little painted blue heart Goyard to look different. They do custom graffiti art on the bags, cost depends on the size. I also got the conti pouch in white because I was set on getting a white Goyard too. He said the conti pouch is a great pouch, bigger than most pouches. In my mind I was planning on making this bag a cross body! Lol 2 in one!
Honest question, would I do this again? HELL NO! Did I get what I wanted? Yes. Do I regret it? Oh absolutely!
I have been home for a few months and I lean more towards the conti pouch, the insert in place making a cross body was more of a go to when I go out for errands. It was more practical as a going out bag.
I love my mini Anjou but it's more like a work/brunch/ girls date bag since it has no zipper. The insert helps hold my stuff in place. It does go over the shoulder. I do end up picking my bigger totes for work.
If you want a Goyard, stand in line and get it! I had a good experience here. Milan is the shopping capital, a boujie girl heaven.
