5. Goyard Belvédère
The Belvédère bag is a reinterpretation of the small bag worn by log drivers to carry something to eat while they were working. It takes its name from the belvedere or viewpoint overlooking Clamecy. Streamlined and light, the Belvédère bag is perfect for many occasions thanks to its crossbody strap and accessible secure closure. With interior and exterior pockets, it is also very practical for organizing your belongings.
On average, the Goyard Belvédère holds up to 82% of its original retail price in the secondary market. The older Belvédère features two buckle closures, while the newer iteration includes a single pull-through closure on the front flap. When it comes to styles earning the most, condition is paramount. Many Bélvèdere bags with tags attached, and even those that simply show no signs of wear, continue to sell above the style’s average resale value.
4. Goyard Anjou
The Anjou bag is a nod to the emblematic Saint Louis bag but in a leather version lined with Goyardine. Reversible, it has two different styles and looks. Its handles with their progressive thickness make it easy to hold and comfortable to carry. A bag of considerable volume, it is ideal for everyday use and for work.
The Anjou bag is a reference to the Duke of Anjou, brother to Louis IX, known as Saint Louis. As the Duke of Anjou was Saint Louis’s brother, so the Anjou bag is the little brother to the emblematic Goyard Saint Louis bag.
The Goyard Anjou bag holds up to 84% of its original retail price on average. While the style comes in three different sizes (Mini, PM and GM), the Mini Anjou proves to have a higher resale value. If you’re looking for a fast payout, more recent Anjou bags in excellent condition are selling quickly.
3. Goyard Cap-Vert
The Cap-Vert bag is the ideal urban companion for organizing essentials while keeping them close at hand. Compact and practical, its secure zip closure keeps belongings safe. It is perfect for everyday use with its adjustable strap. The Cap-Vert bag is inspired by the look and style of Goyard trunks, for example the creased leather panels around the zip that appear on the trunk edging, and its rectangular shape borrowed from the Courrier trunk.
Cap Vert bags hold up to 97% of their original retail price, on average. All colorways have significant demand in the secondary market, but black remains the best-selling color for the Cap Vert.
2. Goyard Plumet
Designed with compartments for change, notes and cards, the Plumet pocket wallet can also be worn across the chest like a little bag with its removable strap. Its 3 separate pockets mean it can elegantly adapt to its contents. The Plumet pocket wallet is inspired by the pocket in the Saint Louis bag. It is called Plumet after the workers in Paris’s ports who drove the rafts to where they were disconnected, on the banks of the River Seine.
The Plumet bag holds 111% of its retail price on average. The Plumet can be difficult to find in stores, causing resale prices to rise. Like many of Goyard’s other bags, black is incredibly popular, but the green and blue colorways sell for up to 114% of their original retail price according to the RealReal.
1. Goyard Saint Louis
The Saint Louis bag is made from Goyardine and is unlined. It is extremely light and completely reversible. Wear it showing the Goyardine fabric or inside out, showing the linen and cotton mix. Its two leather handles with their progressive thickness mean it can be worn in different ways. It has a removable inside pocket attached to one of the handles for quick and easy access.
The Saint Louis bag was initially designed as a beach bag. Reversible, with the Goyardine on the inside it is perfect for taking home wet things after a day at the beach. Its name is a reference to King Louis IX of France, known as Saint Louis. The St. Louis tote gained mainstream popularity in the early 2000s on the arms of celebrities like Hilary Duff, Kim Kardashian, Pharrell Williams and Kanye West, and today it is a staple and the most classic Goyard bag.
On average, St. Louis bags hold 111% of their original retail price, tying with the Plumet for the Goyard bag with the best resale value. Same-year releases will generally garner the highest resale value for a bag, though individual bags can sell for almost double the retail price! When it comes to what shoppers want most, the St. Louis PM size has the highest demand across the board and the special Claire Voie collection sees incredibly high returns.
