Goyard Saint Louis GM Tote Bag

Q: What size is this Goyard Saint Louis tote, and what typically fits inside?
A: This is the larger GM size. With approximate measurements of 55 × 32 × 18 cm, it offers generous room for everyday essentials such as a wallet, phone, sunglasses, a water bottle, a light knit, A4 papers, and other daily items. As the bag is soft and unstructured, capacity can vary depending on how you pack it, so please refer to the Measurements on this page for the best guide.

Q: Can this bag fit a laptop or work essentials?
A: The GM size can accommodate many tablets and slim laptops, along with documents and chargers. That said, the Saint Louis is designed as a very lightweight, flexible tote, so it is best suited to lighter day-to-day loads rather than very heavy carry. If you plan to use it for work, we recommend checking your laptop dimensions against the measurements provided.

Q: Can it be carried on the shoulder comfortably?
A: Yes. This bag has dual flat shoulder straps with an approximate handle drop of 20 cm, which generally allows for comfortable shoulder carry for most wearers.

A: No. This particular item has an open-top design, which makes it easy to access your belongings quickly. For smaller valuables, the included detachable pouch is useful for keeping essentials together.

Q: Is the pouch included with this item?
A: Yes. This bag includes a matching detachable pouch, as listed in the product information.

Q: Is the Saint Louis GM a good everyday or travel tote?
A: Yes. The Saint Louis GM is especially popular for everyday use, travel, and shopping because it is roomy, lightweight, and easy to fold or carry. Its relaxed structure makes it versatile, though some customers prefer using an organiser if they like a more structured interior.

Q: How durable is Goyardine canvas, and where does wear usually show first?
A: Goyardine canvas is appreciated for being lightweight and practical, but like many soft luxury totes, the first visible signs of wear often appear on the corners, edges, and straps with regular use. This is normal for the style, especially on pre-owned pieces that have been carried often.

Q: What is the condition of this specific bag?
A: This item is in very good condition overall. The exterior shows signs of wear on the corners, the interior has minor marks, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. These details are reflected in the current price and should also be visible in the photos.

Q: How should I care for this bag?
A: To keep it looking its best, avoid overfilling it, prolonged exposure to rain or direct heat, and harsh cleaning products. Wipe gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth, and store it in a breathable dust bag with light stuffing inside to help maintain its shape. It is best not to store it in plastic.

Q: How do you authenticate this bag?
A: Every item at A Retro Tale is checked by in-house experts using a multi-point authentication process. This includes reviewing materials, construction, stitching, print, leather trim, hardware, and brand details so you can shop with confidence.
