To think goyard tote bags have become too popular?

They seem to be absolutely everywhere. I used to like them but now see them so often I can’t help but dislike them. Lots of them have got to be fake too.

Just use a Tesco bag for life, OP. Or a Waitrose one if you want to be upmarket.

But they're far too popular!

Usernamenotav · 09/01/2026 17:04

I find it so interesting when people dislike something JUST because other people have it. Some kind of weird need to be different. I wonder what that stems from?

Moellen54 · 07/01/2026 13:10

I'll stick to using the Ploomb one from BIL. No one else has one!

MumsTheWordYouKnow · 06/01/2026 21:59

Never heard of them, just checked, they look bloody awful.

I’d not heard of them until reading this post and I certainly didn’t know they were so expensive until I read your post some people clearly have more money than sense

Show quote history

Be fair, the sort of person who would buy that could have their last solitary penny and still have more money than sense!

DottyLottieLou · 06/01/2026 20:30

I think if I even saw 1 it would be too many.

RobertaFirmino · 06/01/2026 20:15

Goodness me, they are foul. I'll stick with my tote from Maison Affaire which bears the cheeky slogan 'I only went in for one thing!'. I've had great totes from Livre-Pied too 😂

IreneFromSkibbereen · 06/01/2026 20:08

Just googled as well. They just look like shiny plastic shopping bags. But costing around £2000 to £4000 each. A fool and her money…!!

CarefullyCuratedFurniture · 06/01/2026 20:02

I don't care for the Goyard bags. I have a lovely leopard-print Balzac tote that I bought in Paris. All the cool Parisian girls were carrying them, so I fell for the hype and DH bought me one!

Cheers me enormously to think that rich people are daft enough to spend £1500 - £2000 (or more) on a really ugly tote bag made of waterproof coated canvas. There are many other examples such as the Van Cleef and Arples Alhambra collection; looks like something Claire's would sell.

The only mystery is how such gullible people get rich in the first place.

Branwells77 · 06/01/2026 19:58

Had to google them I’ve never heard of them and looking at what Google brought up I wouldn’t want one they look cheap and nasty

FatherDickByrneV · 06/01/2026 17:38

I'm more than happy with my Turkey special 😆

MrsToothyBitch · 06/01/2026 17:01

I used to occasionally spot them and would assume it was real. Then they became popular. Now I assume 9/10 are fake.

Never heard of them. Had to resort to google and quite honestly they are hideous and overpriced.

UninitendedShark · 06/01/2026 13:53

My Nan’s shopping bag vibes

PyongyangKipperbang · 06/01/2026 13:48

Oh so THAT'S the bag William Hanson uses in his videos, looking a complete berk! Quite like his video, but that bag makes him look my grandmother in the queue at the butchers back in the 70's!

Justlostmybagel · 06/01/2026 08:37

I've googled and they're quite hideous.

Agreed. Ugly AF. Like Louis Vuitton.

Blump2783 · 06/01/2026 12:18

A what?

Chiaseedling · 06/01/2026 11:55

Had to look them up too. Not keen!

Mydadsbirthday · 06/01/2026 11:51

I see them on the tube most days and I agree with you OP. Most of them are fake.

MangaKanga · 06/01/2026 11:50

You need to find another bag that most people don't want to carry. Something truly special. May I suggest a Piers Morgan tote?

100% guarantee you, no other fucker will be wearing it.

I had never seen one in real life until knock offs appeared on all the local market stalls.

BlackCrowKing · 06/01/2026 11:38

How ghastly for you OP, that the proles are carrying the same bag as you now! I’m sure your next niche fashion item will be along shortly so you can reaffirm your social superiority, fear not.

Greyrock2828 · 06/01/2026 11:38

I don't like them but here in Switzerland it's the bag of choice for teenage girls in the local private school - wonder if they're fake but think it's more likely that they are real.
