So, I was browsing online the other day, y’know, just killing time, and I stumbled across this whole thing about Goyard scarves. At first, I was like, “Scarves? Really? What’s the big deal?” I mean, a scarf is a scarf, right? WRONG! Apparently.
Vestiaire Collective, that site where people sell their used designer stuff, had a bunch. Second-hand Goyard, which, tbh, is probably the only way *I’m* ever gonna afford one. But even then, they’re still like, what, a few hundred bucks? Ouch.
Then I saw something about “High Everyday Couture” on the official Goyard site. HIGH? Like, am I supposed to be high to appreciate this scarf? Just kidding! (kinda). They talk about silk roads and tradition, which sounds fancy and all, but really just means they’ve been making these things for a long time. They’ve got different sizes, too: 70 x 70 cm, 90 x 90 cm. Guess it depends how much neck you wanna cover, lol. And some are cotton and… well, something else. They don’t really specify. Sneaky.
The scarves themselves? Most have that iconic Goyardine print. The black and white one, especially. That’s the classic, I think. I saw one described as “authentic,” as if there are *fake* Goyard scarves running around. The mind boggles.
And then there’s talk about frame-printing techniques. “Traditional,” they say. Sounds like something a medieval artisan would do. Makes you feel all sophisticated just thinking about it, doesn’t it? Probably just means a fancy silkscreen, if I’m being honest.
Look, are these scarves worth the hype? I’m not sure. They’re definitely aesthetically pleasing, and if you’ve got the cash to burn, why not? But honestly, a regular silk scarf would probably do the trick just as well. But hey, who am I to judge? Maybe the “high precision” of the print *does* make all the difference. Maybe I’m just jealous I can’t afford one.
