First off, gotta say, the *idea* of an overrun Goyard bag is kinda… enticing, isn’t it? Like stumbling upon a secret stash of treasure. I mean, who *doesn’t* want a St. Louis tote for three hundred bucks? Seriously! That’s insane. I saw that “Goyard Bag Prices 2024: Complete” thing hinting at it. Makes you wanna jump right on it, doesn’t it?
But hold up, hold up. Let’s be real. Goyard? They’re practically allergic to discounts. They don’t even *do* sales, or haven’t for ages. So, where exactly do these “overrun” bags magically appear from? Are we talking like, a truck fell off the back and landed in someone’s backyard, overflowing with Goyard goodness? Probably not.
I’m not gonna lie, I’ve been tempted. I’ve *looked*. I’ve seen the ads. “Pre-owned Goyard bags for vintage styles,” they say. Cool, fine. Secondhand? That’s legit. I can dig that. Someone wants to declutter their closet, I get it. But “overrun stock”? That phrase just screams “buyer beware” to me.
Look, maybe, *maybe* there’s a legit source out there, somewhere. A factory hiccup, a production error, something slipped through the cracks. But honestly? My gut tells me most of this “overrun” stuff is either A) really, really good fakes (and some of those are scary good nowadays, I’ve heard horror stories!), or B) something that *used* to be a Goyard bag, maybe got damaged, and someone’s trying to make a quick buck off it by slapping the term “overrun” on it.
Plus, even if it *is* real, think about it. If it’s truly “overrun,” what’s the quality like? Is it the rejects? The ones with slightly off stitching or a wonky monogram? I’m picturing those old “seconds” sales at clothing stores. You know, the stuff with the tiny, almost invisible flaws, but still cheaper than the real deal. Is it worth saving a grand or two for something that’s not quite up to par with what Goyard is supposed to be?
And another thing! I saw something about adding a “Goyard wallet, belt, or small leather accessory with a plain-coloured outfit.” Good advice. But, if you’re rocking a *fake* “overrun” Goyard, that “subtle touch of luxury” might just end up looking…well, the opposite.
