Visited the Goyard boutique at 66 Rue François 1er back in September 2023 during Paris Fashion Week and what a journey it was.
My first attempt was actually at the 233 Rue Saint-Honoré location, where I waited about 4 hours in line, only to have VIP clients (including Jordyn Woods) walk straight in. On top of that, they had already run out of the Cap-Vert I was looking for, so I ended up striking out completely that day.
I decided to try again the next day at the 66 Rue François 1er boutique, and it was a totally different experience. Julien, the SA who helped me, was awesome, welcoming, knowledgeable, and made everything feel smooth and relaxed.
At first, he mentioned there was a black Cap-Vert on hold, which felt like another near miss. But about 15 minutes later, he came back and said it was actually available. I swear Julien knew exactly when to hit the dopamine moment because that turnaround made the whole experience even better.
I ended up getting the black Cap-Vert, and it's been such a fun piece ever since. It's held up really well, super versatile, and one of those items that just works whether I'm out casually or traveling.
Overall, a bit of a rollercoaster experience but worth it in the end. Julien really made the difference. read more
