REVIEW
This is one of the four Goyard locations in Paris as of Fall 2023 - this is also the main Goyard boutique in the city. There are two (2) locations on Saint-Honore, this and the small/specialty leather goods boutique which is across the street from this one.
Check out my Goyard guide for more information and tips on navigating the Goyard game in Paris.
Note that appointments are not possible in any Goyard location in Paris. So be prepared to queue, no matter how early you show up. This boutique happesn to have the longest lines due to the reliability of their stock. Even though I dislike queueing, this remains to be my favourite Goyard location to shop in because the lines move fast and the checkout process is quicker than Printemps.
Would I recommend this boutique?
HOT TIPS
Know your Goyard branches - This way, you don’t spend too much time queueing when you don’t have to. There are four (4) in the city:
on Saint Honore - Main
on Saint Honore (across Main boutique) - Specialized Leather Goods only like dog collars, trunks, etc.
inside Printemps Haussmann - sells a little bit of everything
on rue Francois (newly opened second half of 2023) - I haven’t been to this one, but will make a guide on it once I have a chance to visit
Bring your passport - if you’re not an EU resident, you can get part of the VAT refunded to you when you purchase more than 100 EUR worth of goods.
Be prepared to queue - this location always has a line up because it has the most stock.
Know what you want - make sure you do extensive research on which pieces you’d like to purchase. Due to the client volumes in this location, you will feel pressure to make a decision fast. If they don’t happen to have the model or colour that you want, be prepared with your second, third, fourth choices as well or be ready to walk away quickly.
Know your Goyard quotas - see my guide for more information.
Be prepared to spend in case of an overnight price increase - Goyard is very elusive in its marketing and even stealthier with its price hikes. There’s a rare chance the piece your eyeing ends up being a bit more expensive than you researched.
Refrain from taking public transportation after shopping.
