[@lwilliams3500]

Thank you for such a thorough review. I've opted to get the Artois PM as my first Goyard. I'm excited. 😊

[@grace.dedito]

oh i'm so glad! i hope you enjoy the bag as much as I do! :)

[@MikiCarrBeauty]

Thank you for the thorough review! I've been wanting a Goyard bag, and prefer the zip for security and things falling out all the time. I love the bottom leather sides to keep it from scuffing. Enjoyed your thorough comparisons and graphics. Thank you!

[@grace.dedito]

You're welcome! Thank you for watching, and I hope you get the bag that suits you :)

[@user-gk8gu1sp9n]

Thank you! :)

[@chrisairr]

Thanks for the thorough review. I’ve been straddling the fence about the PM, MM and GM - need one for work and another for travel.

[@grace.dedito]

You're welcome!

[@isabellaitalia5933]

Such an informative review! thank you!

[@grace.dedito]

You are so welcome!

[@ngocngocnotes]

Lovely video! I got this bag in the tan/black combo and it's my favorite tote, especially for work. Definitely a better choice over the flimsy St. Louis tote.

[@grace.dedito]

I totally agree! The Artois looks more structured and feels more sturdy! :)

[@weenaniti3715]

Thank you for your review 👍

[@noviimam]

Most excellent review, thank u

[@grace.dedito]

I'm glad! :)

[@tobymama1]

The material is completely different from before😊 this new one is more shining

[@grace.dedito]

interesting observation! when did you notice the difference? I had just assumed the bag loses its "shine" with frequent use, especially because I've seen people not really care ("baby") their tote bags

[@simonsripho5930]

Thanks for a review… it’s very useful for me which one is more fit for me between St.Louise or Artois. Now I will end up with this Artois for sure. Just one quick question, where do you get those inside organizer to keep the bag in shape? Thank you again

[@grace.dedito]

Yay, I'm glad this video was helpful for you! And I hope you enjoy the Artois when you get it :) I'm based in Singapore and I got my bag organiser from a local seller who hand stitches them. However, you can try Samorga - I get most of my bag organisers from them and they're good quality! For this particular bag, I went with a local seller in Singapore because I needed it faster (Samorga takes a longer time). Hope this helps!

[@vandakat]

Thank you for this detailed review and comparison of other models! Wonderful job! How are you getting along with the bag? I really like that it has a zipper, I’m considering buying his bag right now. How has the west been? My knit hesitating is others’ experience with the St. Louis’s cracked corners and Goyard print coming off. Since this bag has reinforced leather corners, I’m hoping it’s longer lasting and more durable. Thanks!

[@grace.dedito]

I've used it many times now, and not just for travel. I think it's been pretty hardy, and the shape has held up pretty well. No issues with the corners. One minor thing that I would caution you about is the strap, as the same would apply for the St Louis since the straps are similar :) (See my response separately to Faer Dh)

[@vandakat]

@@grace.dedito Thank you!

[@lepointJenn]

Hello from Paris :) Thank you for this detailed review of the PM Artois, just so you know the bag doesn't come with a gift box unfortunately...

[@grace.dedito]

Hello! Oh it doesn't? Is this for all Goyard bags or just the tote bags? Thanks for clarifying though, and I hope other people who watch this video will catch your comment too!

[@lepointJenn]

@@grace.dedito Hello again, to my knowledge most of Goyard bags (totes included) are sold whitout a box. The few ones that come with a cardboard box are the Mini Alpin, the Saigon, the Vendome and also the little trunks (and the SLGs). I probably forgot some bags but basically don't expect a box when you buy a Goyard bag :( Happy to help and enjoy your Artois :)

[@putritri1225]

Thank you for the review, that is very useful since I’ve been considering this bag. I live in California but considering to get it in Singapore instead when we transit this summer. Do you think it will be cheaper in singapore?

[@grace.dedito]

I have not compared the prices, but I suspect it will be because you will get a better exchange rate from USD - SGD, and you can get an 8% tax refund as a tourist :)

[@breecush1908]

Per my SA in April, Isabelle is discontinued as I inquired about it because it was still on the website. The website was outdated at the time but I believe it has now been removed from the site.

[@grace.dedito]

Thanks for the info, it's good to know! :) I'm guessing it wasn't selling too well? - did your SA mention anything about why it was discontinued?

[@breecush1908]

@@grace.dedito he just told me not to order it, they didn’t have them in store when I went in and that it was discontinued. Subsequently I chose the Artois mm. There could be stock on hand in some areas but I’ve not seen one in person.

[@Fuzzyragable]

Love this video! How tall are you? I'm 5'1 and was debating between the PM and MM

[@grace.dedito]

I'm just under 5'! :)

[@avem1534]

Hi, thanks for your review. I was thinking to get an used one, can you let us know the price for a new Artois pm bag? thanks so much.

[@grace.dedito]

I got mine in February this year at USD 2,190 (excluding taxes). You can visit this blog which gives you an idea of prices :) www.pursebop.com/the-goyard-tote-price-guide-2023-usa-vs-europe-vs-uk/

Great video! May I ask your height for reference? I’m 5’3 and deciding between PM and MM size!

[@grace.dedito]

I'm 150 cm, so 4"11. I think both sizes will work for you, it just depends on how much you want to fit in the bag; and also just be mindful that the straps are quite thin so they may dig into your shoulders a bit (if you're wearing something sleeveless - cos that's happened to me!)

[@yenhumphrey9329]

Hi...enjoy your thorough review of Artois PM. Thinking about buying this bag myself. May I know where you got the insert? Thanks!

[@grace.dedito]

You're welcome! the bag organiser is from a local seller in Singapore, "Bags Need Care Too" (shopee.sg/-%F0%9D%90%81%F0%9D%90%8D%F0%9D%90%82%F0%9D%90%93%F0%9F%91%9C-%F0%9F%A7%A1-Bag-Insert-Organizer-for-Goyard-Artois-Tote-Felt-Bag-In-Bag-Customized-Organiser-Many-Designs-Colours-i.82272732.13506071086?sp_atk=3c63b5eb-f2a2-4f31-83b7-b2a6a6940f30&xptdk=3c63b5eb-f2a2-4f31-83b7-b2a6a6940f30). In case you want another option, for my other bags I've purchased bag organisers from Samorga (samorga.com/shop-2/regular-line-2mm-felt/go-st-louis-pm/go-artois-pm-f/). Hope this helps!

[@yenhumphrey9329]

Hi, it's me again! I'm getting my Artois finally! I usually use Samorga. In your opinion, is BNCT quality on par? Is your BNCT Artois insert Beige color? Thanks again!

[@grace.dedito]

@@yenhumphrey9329 Yes, I ordered the "beige" colour insert from BNCT. In terms of quality, I think they're both comparable but I wanna say I prefer Samorga because the felt materia feels softer & is a bit thinner/lighter than BNCT.

[@yenhumphrey9329]

@@grace.dedito Thank you so much for your reply. I've only been using Samorga, so I guess I'll stick to it. Thanks again!

[@aniesantos2944]

where is the bag organiser from? amazing review btw!

[@grace.dedito]

Thank you! the bag organiser is from a local seller in Singapore, "Bags Need Care Too" (from Shopee). In case you want another option, for my other bags I've purchased bag organisers from Samorga (I think they make it in Korea). Hope this helps!

[@jojotran7402]

this come with dustbag only? and any cert.?

[@grace.dedito]

Yup, when I bought it at the store, there was only a dust bag & no authentication cert.

[@acathelizabeth]

Can u share where to get the bag insert / organizer? Thank you.

[@grace.dedito]

Hi, I'm based in Singapore and I got my bag organiser from a local seller who hand stitches them (called "Bags Need Care Too" & you can find them on Shopee or Carousell). However, if you're not based in Singapore, you can try "Samorga" - they ship internationally & I get most of my bag organisers from them and they're good quality!

[@grace.dedito]

I'm based in Singapore and I got this from a local seller who does this by hand, BagsNeedCareToo (you can find them on Shopee or Carousell). If you're based elsewhere, you can buy from Samorga & 7 Rue Paradis (7 RP), who make their bag organisers in South Korea & France respectively - and they both ship internationally. I've bought from Samorga before but not 7 RP. I hope this helps!

[@amalobaid8614]

Hello, does this bag hold a 13-inch Macbook?

[@grace.dedito]

Yes, it does!

[@sahibgill4888]

Will this fit a 14 inch laptop n is this bag ok for a tall person the size?

[@grace.dedito]

It will fit a 14 inch laptop if you don't put an additional bag insert (because that takes up space inside the bag itself). Whether the PM size of this Artois bag is OK for a tall person really depends on your personal preferences, but I will say that if you're looking for a slightly oversized shopping bag/tote look, then this PM Artois would likely look too small on a tall person. You could consider getting the larget MM size instead. I hope this helps!

[@sexyalleycat]

Hi there 👋 Thank you for this detailed review. May you please share the price of the bag if possible. Thank you in advance for your time ❤️💚

[@grace.dedito]

Hi, I paid USD 2,150 (exclusive of taxes).

[@sexyalleycat]

@@grace.dedito thank you 🙏

[@lawrak2332]

Hey do you think this size is good as a college bag ? In 5”4

[@grace.dedito]

Yes! If you just have a 13" laptop, a mouse, wallet and some other smaller lightweight items, the PM size won't be too heavy & it'll definitely work as a college bag & definitely a statement piece :) For you to get a sense of sizing/proportion, I'm 4"11! if you want more capacity, you can get the bigger MM size, but IMO the MM size is too big & if you want to put heavier things in it, I wouldn't recommend. The straps are not wide/thick, so if the contents are heavy, it'd dig into your shoulder & it won't be comfortable. Hope this helps!

[@milananalim]

@@grace.dedito hi, do you think MacBook 14 inch will fit inside? Thanks

[@grace.dedito]

I did a bit of measuring for you. Your laptop's dimensions should not exceed length 13" (because of the zip) and height 8.6"-8.7". Based on that, I think a MacBook 14" should fit, but do measure your own laptop just to be sure!

[@milananalim]

@@grace.dedito thanks

[@8989shopper]

How much is the Pm size ？and was it hard to get hold off？

[@grace.dedito]

I bought it for USD 2,190 excluding taxes. I didn't have trouble getting it in LA, but it was the last piece available! It's a classic colour, so I think if you're patient you should be able to get one in store! (though I understand that Goyard now imposes a quota of 5 pieces that you can purchase every year)

[@HtooNandarWint]

Does it hurt your shoulder when you carry it?

[@grace.dedito]

To be completely honest, if the bag is heavy, it does hurt my shoulder a little! So when it's heavy, I actually prefer hand carrying it instead!

[@Ana-vj8oy]

How much this bag cost in USD dollar?

[@grace.dedito]

I bought this for USD 2,190 (in February 2023) excluding 9.5% taxes in Los Angeles. Not sure if the prices have increased since then, but I hope this gives you a ball park idea :)

[@user-tt8cc3em9h]

Artois is better because of the zip and the corner reinforcement.

[@grace.dedito]

Agreed!
