Saint Louis vs Anjou vs Artois: Which Goyard Tote Should You Pick?

The three totes anchor the Goyard catalog and each serves a different purpose. The Saint Louis is the iconic lightweight tote, designed to fold flat when empty and expand significantly when loaded, with leather handles and a removable interior pouch. It reads as the everyday Goyard for travel, weekend, and shopping rotations, and is the bag most buyers acquire first. The Anjou is the reversible version with chevron canvas on one side and smooth leather on the reverse, flipping depending on the occasion. It is the more polished daily option and works well for buyers who want both casual and formal use from a single bag. The Artois is the most recent structured addition, with a proper zip closure, a fully lined interior, and a more business-formal silhouette that suits work environments where security and structure matter more than the relaxed Saint Louis profile. Most Goyard collectors who build out a wardrobe end up with all three across different rotation slots.

The Goyardine Canvas and the Brand's Discreet Approach

The Goyardine is a chevron-pattern canvas developed by Edmond Goyard in 1892, originally hand-painted on jute and later evolved into the screen-printed cotton-linen-hemp composite still used today. The Y-pattern repeats consistently across the canvas, and the seven primary colourways (black, navy, burgundy, sky blue, green, red, and white) are produced in regular rotation, with seasonal colours and special orders extending the palette further. What distinguishes the Goyardine from canvas signatures at other houses is the brand's deliberate restraint: no oversized logos, no obvious branding markers, just the chevron itself doing the recognition work. Combined with Goyard's near-total absence from mass advertising, mall flagships, and social media, the Goyardine has come to read as a quiet recognition signal for people who know the brand rather than a status display for those who don't.

How We Verify Every Goyard Bag Before It Goes Live

Verification on a Goyard bag covers a multi-marker process specific to the house. The chevron canvas must align consistently across the bag with the signature Y-shape repeating at the correct spacing and orientation. The leather trim quality, the edge paint, the stitching tension and count, and the hardware engraving with "Goyard" precisely stamped on the metal elements all factor into the verification. Inside, the serial number stamped on the leather identifies the production batch, and the "Maison Goyard Paris" interior stamp confirms the official production source. The handle attachment, the lining material, the included dust bag, and the brand box construction round out the checklist. Custom-painted bags (with hand-painted initials, stripes, or motifs requested directly through Goyard) require additional verification of the brushwork itself, since the painting style and consistency are themselves authentication markers when the work comes from the official Goyard atelier. The same verification applies whether the bag is current-season new or a vintage piece sourced from a longstanding collector.

FAQs

Q: Are these authentic Goyard bags?

Every Goyard bag on this page is authenticated by our team before listing, whether the piece is current-season new or pre-loved. Verification covers the chevron canvas alignment and Y-pattern consistency, the leather trim quality and edge finishing, the stitching count and tension, the hardware engraving with "Goyard" stamped precisely on the metal elements, the interior serial number stamp identifying the production batch, the "Maison Goyard Paris" interior stamp, the handle attachment construction, the lining material, and the included dust bag and brand box. For custom-painted bags, the brushwork itself is verified for consistency with the official Goyard atelier style. Bags that cannot be verified to our standard do not go on the page.

Q: Saint Louis PM or GM: which size should I pick?

The Saint Louis PM is the smaller size at roughly 34cm wide, designed to hold the day-to-day essentials (phone, slim wallet, sunglasses, keys, a small notebook) with room left for casual additions. It works as a daily handbag and crossbody-replacement tote for most daytime contexts. The Saint Louis GM is the larger 47cm version, designed for travel, beach, gym, and full-day carrying with enough capacity for a laptop, change of clothes, or a full day of shopping additions. Most Goyard buyers acquire the PM first as the more versatile size for daily wear, and add the GM later for travel and weekend rotations. If you are choosing one, the PM is the more flexible answer for everyday use; the GM is the better answer if you want a dedicated travel and weekend tote.

Q: How long does Goyard bag delivery take to Saudi Arabia?

Standard delivery to Saudi Arabia runs 3 to 6 business days from order placement, with Riyadh and Jeddah typically on the faster end. Every Goyard bag ships in its original Goyard dust bag and brand box where included, with reinforced outer protection given the value involved and insurance applied to the declared value across the full transit.
