Goyard Saint Louis PM Tote Bag

Q: What size is this Goyard Saint Louis PM Tote Bag?
A: This bag measures approximately 34 cm wide, 27 cm high and 15 cm deep, with an approximately 18 cm strap drop. The PM is the smaller of the two classic Saint Louis sizes and is generally favoured for everyday use.

Q: What typically fits inside the Saint Louis PM?
A: The Saint Louis PM is roomy enough for daily essentials such as a wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and a compact water bottle. It can also suit light day-to-day extras, but we recommend checking the Measurements on this page to judge fit for your own items.

Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder?
A: Yes, the Saint Louis PM is designed to be carried by hand or on the shoulder. That said, the PM has a relatively short handle drop compared with larger totes, so the fit can feel closer under the arm, especially with thicker outerwear.

Q: Is the Saint Louis PM reversible?
A: Yes. One of the Saint Louis bag’s signature features is its reversible construction, which allows it to be worn with the Goyardine canvas showing or turned inside out for a more understated look.

Q: Does this tote have a zip or top closure?
A: No, the Saint Louis PM is an open-top tote. If you prefer easy access and a lightweight feel, this is part of its appeal, but it is worth bearing in mind if you usually prefer a fully secured top.

Q: What material is the Saint Louis PM made from?
A: The Saint Louis PM is known for its lightweight Goyardine canvas construction with leather trim. Its unlined, supple build is one reason it feels so light and flexible compared with more structured tote bags.

Q: How should I care for this bag?
A: To preserve the bag, avoid overloading it with heavy items and keep it away from excessive moisture, oils, make-up, perfume, rough surfaces and prolonged heat or direct light. When not in use, store it in a breathable dust bag and lightly stuff it to help maintain its shape.
