First off, Goyard. It’s Goyard, people. You KNOW it’s gonna be pricey. We’re talking “rent money” pricey. But that salmon pink… Oooooh, that salmon pink! It’s kinda like a sophisticated bubblegum. Not that *Kylie Jenner* bubblegum, more like… I dunno, *Audrey Hepburn* bubblegum? Does that make sense? Probably not. I’m terrible at descriptions.
Then there’s the “Saigon Souple Mini” part. Mini! I mean, seriously? What *can* you even fit in a mini bag? Your credit card, maybe some lipstick, and a whole lotta anxiety about losing it? I’m personally a “throw everything but the kitchen sink” kinda girl, so a mini bag gives me the sweats. My big ol’ wallet probably wouldn’t even fit, tbh.
But…BUT… It’s SO CUTE. Like, aggressively cute. And the “Souple” part (which I’m pretty sure is just a fancy French word for “soft”) makes me think it would be comfy to carry. Not that comfort is really a priority when you’re shelling out this much dough for a bag, is it? Nah. It’s all about the *image*. It’s about saying, “Hey world, I have taste, and I have disposable income. Deal with it.”
Which, let’s be real, is kinda the whole point of Goyard anyway. Right? It’s a status symbol. A low-key (but still screaming) status symbol. It doesn’t have logos plastered all over it like some other brands (I’m looking at you, Gucci), it’s more of a “if you know, you know” kinda vibe. And that’s appealing, I guess.
Okay, so the salmon pink. I keep coming back to the color. I’m picturing it with like, a crisp white shirt and some dark jeans. Or maybe a flowy summer dress. It’s actually surprisingly versatile, which is… slightly infuriating, because now I’m starting to actually *want* it.
And the name, “Saigon Souple,” also adds a touch of exoticism, you know? Like, it makes you think of hot, humid days and bustling markets and… okay, maybe I’m getting carried away. But it *does* sound fancy, doesn’t it?
