A Closer Look: Goyard Artois MM

Today, we are going to take a closer look at the Goyard Artois MM bag. When I went to Paris last year, my friend asked me to pick up this purse for her and I regret not getting one of my own. At that time, I really couldn’t afford to spend money on a lot of luxury goods so I told myself that the next time I’m in Europe, I will definitely buy myself one. I’m not going to Europe any time soon but I know that a lot of my readers are so I thought I would shine a light on the Goyard Artois MM.

USA vs. Europe Prices

If you are going to Europe soon, I highly suggest you hold off on any Goyard purchase until then. The dollar-to-euro ratio is incredibly advantageous to the U.S. spender right now. The euro and the dollar are almost equal! On top of that, you get the VAT refund on your purchase too. It is definitely worth it to purchase it in Europe rather than the U.S. if you have a trip planned and can wait until then. If you want to see price differences from 2021, you can find them here.

Goyard Artois MM Price

An interesting fact that I just learned is that Goyard has gotten rid of their separate pricing for classic colors and special colors. I called the Beverly Hills store at the end of August and they have confirmed that everything is all one price now.

Classic/Special Colors: $2,540 + local tax

Does Goyard Provide Boxes?

Goyard does not provide boxes for these purses. Only dust bags. Maybe some of the other items you might be provided boxes, but I did not get one for the Artois. To be honest, if you’re buying it from overseas, it’s an absolute hassle to bring it back in a box anyways unless you have an ample amount of luggage space.

Goyard Artois Size Reference

I would say that the Goyard Artois is a bit bigger than my Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM if you want something to compare it to. The Artois is definitely more structured though and does come with a zipper on top if you want a purse that’s more secure. I love my Louis Vuitton Neverfull, but I do worry about people easily reaching into my purse.

Goyard St. Louis PM vs. Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM vs. Goyard Artois MM

I get this question a lot and it really has to do with your personal preference. If this is your first luxury bag, I say go for the Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM. The size is great and a lot of people will recognize the bag/print. If this is your second or third or whatever purse, I would next go for the Goyard Artois. I know the Goyard St. Louis bag is more popular, but it’s just so flimsy to me. It almost looks like cheap plastic which is sad to say for such a luxurious brand. Again, this is just my opinion, but hopefully, it helps some of you out there that can’t decide which bag to buy.
