Do not be duped by phony bags.
Have you watched the episode of Nightline on Hulu? We take great pride in supporting the purchase of 100% genuine, pre-owned, opulent accessories. Knowing how to recognize a fake bag is essential given the increase in fake designer items flooding the market. Regrettably, among the many styles that are introduced, we find many imitation Goyard Saint Louis bags attempting to pass for real ones.
We have seen a steady improvement in counterfeiters throughout the course of our 25 years in operation. Therefore, more than ever, it's critical that you, as a customer, comprehend the integrity of genuine luxury bags and the long-term benefits of rejecting a convincing replica.
Here, we'll go over some of the most important elements that our expert authenticators found particularly noteworthy in order to authenticate this specific Goyard Saint Louis bag, from the way the handbag straps are made to the elaborate Goyardine canvas print and logo debossing. The details are always where the lies in super fakes may be found.
What are some ways to spot a fake Goyard bag?
Your bag's construction tells you everything about whether it is real or fake. For instance, the straps on the Goyard Saint Louis tote may look insignificant, but they are quite important. Stitching, leather quality, and craftsmanship are very important to Goyard. They are the hallmark of Goyard's history and should never be disregarded.

During this inspection, our master authenticators saw indications of subpar workmanship on the counterfeit bag right away.*Shock* The straps were badly warped—not from wear, but rather from a hastily done, incompetent work. When compared to an authentic Goyard bag, the stitching appeared uneven upon closer examination. Our master authenticators also examine the thickness of the handles themselves, as well as the quality of the stitching, leather, and resin glazing. The devil is in the details, as they say.
How to Identify False Goyardine Paintings
A classic canvas that is resilient, flexible, and water-resistant is the Goyardine. When goyardine was first created, it represented a great technological innovation in a period when other trunk producers were still making their products from leather and plain linen cloth. This pattern is quite accurate. The poster pays homage to the Goyard family's heritage as log drivers. Like with many well-kept family secrets, the precise procedure utilized to manufacture the Goyardine is still being closely guarded, even if the original techniques are still in use. The procedure essentially looks like this: "They need to apply a base color on the bare linen & cotton canvas, then they need to create the trademark embossed pattern and give the Goyardine the special ability to age gracefully and to acquire a patina over time with three successive layers of etched colors through an in-house screen-printing process.”

Having said that, our professional authenticators discovered right away that the counterfeit Saint Louis bag was poorly printed and that the colors were off for the Goyardine canvas. Here, the real Goyardine and the imitation are clearly different.
Genuine versus False Goyard Logo
Another significant component of the puzzle is the logo, which is why it is crucial to examine it well. Saint Louis tote bags come with a matching pouch. This pouch has an embossed logo on it. The typeface, debossing method, letter spacing, and a host of other details were meticulously examined by our expert authenticators. Put simply: This fake employs low-quality leather with an evident shiny finish, has an erroneous text style, and a botched debossing of the emblem inside the pouch.

When it comes to spotting imitation designer bags—in this case, a Goyard Saint Louis—our skilled and knowledgeable authenticators are able to recognize specific characteristics right immediately.

For example: You may be thinking that these minor details don't important while you read this. Nobody will examine your replica bag because you're out with it, right? Perhaps not everyone, but those who are aware of it will. Beyond that, keep in mind that purchasing a counterfeit damages the company and provides funding to criminal organizations. Even worse, they now possess your bank information. You've just helped terrorists destroy our world, supported drug lords, and abused children.
What about the waste? Fake "fashion" is a part of a burgeoning sector that is thought to be the greatest illegal market in the world. The National Crime Prevention Council estimates its annual value to be $2 trillion. When these fakes are found, they are destroyed, producing a great deal of material waste and pollution. Therefore, even though the bag seems like a good deal, there are unintended consequences. Our purpose is to provoke thought, not to assign blame. Every action has repercussions that go beyond what is immediately apparent. Your dollar goes where?
