But a wallet without the iconic chevron print? Is that even a Goyard? Honestly, it feels kinda like buying a Ferrari and then painting it beige. You *know* what it is, but, like, nobody ELSE does. And isn’t half the point of having a designer wallet, you know, *showing* it off a little? Let’s be real.
I’ve been doing some digging (aka, googling) and it seems like, yeah, Goyard definitely does more than just the classic stuff. You can get different leather textures, and while the main pull is the Goyardine canvas, they got other options. So, theoretically, a logo-free wallet is totally possible.
But here’s where my brain starts to hurt. If you strip away the logo, what *are* you really paying for? The leather? Probably top-notch, I’d imagine. The craftsmanship? Supposedly amazing. But honestly, at that price point, you could get some *seriously* nice leatherwork from a smaller, independent artisan who’s probably pouring their heart and soul into it. And you’d be supporting small business! Win-win, right?
And okay, I get the whole “stealth wealth” thing. Some people just don’t want to scream “I have money!” with every single thing they own. They prefer to keep things low-key. But at the same time, buying a Goyard and *specifically* asking for it without the logo feels a little…contrived? Like you’re trying *too* hard to be understated. Ya know?
I saw something about StockX and resale…so, I guess even pre-owned Goyard wallets are a thing. That’s kinda wild. Makes me wonder if the resale value on a logo-free version would be less? Probably, right? It’s less recognizable.
