Goyard Boeing 45 Weekend Bag

Q: What typically fits inside the Goyard Boeing 45 Weekend Bag?
A: With approximate measurements of 45 x 22 x 23 cm, it comfortably carries weekend essentials: smartphone, full‑size wallet, keys, sunglasses in a case, toiletries pouch, A4 documents or diary, a light jumper/scarf, and a change of clothes. Most 13‑inch laptops fit easily; slim 14‑inch models and many 15‑inch devices may also fit. Capacity can vary by how you pack—compare your items with the Measurements listed or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.

Q: Will it fit a laptop and can I use it as a cabin carry‑on?
A: Yes—most 13‑inch laptops fit comfortably, and many 14‑/15‑inch devices will fit depending on sleeve thickness and how full the bag is. At approx. 45 x 22 x 23 cm, it generally complies with many airlines’ cabin baggage size limits, but allowances vary by carrier, so we recommend checking your airline’s policy.

Q: What are the carrying options? Is there a shoulder strap?
A: This piece features dual rolled leather handles (approx. 14 cm drop) for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry. Some Boeing editions have a shoulder strap, but this specific item does not include one unless listed under Accessories. For longer shoulder carry, many owners use a separate compatible strap; we advise avoiding heavy aftermarket hardware that could mark the rings or stress the leather.

Q: How secure is the closure and how do I use the padlock?
A: The bag has a zip‑top main compartment for everyday security. A padlock is included with this item; keys are included only if explicitly listed under Accessories. On many editions, you can lock the zipper pulls together—keep valuables in the interior zip pocket and avoid overfilling to maintain smooth zip alignment.

Q: What does the interior/exterior layout look like?
A: This Boeing 45 features black/brown Goyardine canvas with black leather trim, silver‑tone hardware, dual rolled handles, and one exterior slip pocket. Inside, you’ll find a yellow canvas lining with one internal zipped pocket and a spacious main compartment. Please review our photos for the exact configuration of this piece.

Q: What is Goyardine canvas? Is it water‑resistant?
A: Goyardine is Goyard’s signature resin‑coated canvas with the hand‑applied chevron motif. It is lightweight and highly durable, offering good resistance to light rain and everyday wear. However, the leather trim is not waterproof and prolonged exposure to moisture should be avoided. If the bag gets lightly wet, blot gently (don’t rub) and allow it to air‑dry away from heat.

Q: How should I care for the canvas, leather trim and lining?
A: • Wipe coated canvas with a soft, dry cloth; for marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately.
• Keep leather away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight; condition smooth leather sparingly with a high‑quality neutral product after testing on a discreet area.
• For the yellow canvas lining, gently shake out debris and use a clean lint roller; avoid liquids inside. Store the bag lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag, and protect hardware from rubbing to minimise hairline scratches.

Q: Where are the brand markings/codes located, and how is dating handled?
A: Authentic Goyard bags typically feature an interior heat‑stamp (e.g., “GOYARD PARIS” and “Made in France”). Goyard does not use public date codes like some other brands; some pieces may have internal production stamps or codes not intended for consumer dating. We’re happy to share close‑up photos and help with era/context for this exact item on request.

Q: Is the Boeing 45 still produced?
A: The Boeing travel line is generally considered a vintage/discontinued style, with availability limited to the pre‑loved market. The “45” refers to the approximate length in centimetres. Details can vary by era—our listing shows the exact features of this piece.

Q: What accessories are included and what is the condition of this specific item?
A: Included accessories: padlock and dust bag (if an accessory isn’t mentioned under Accessories, it isn’t included—feel free to ask us to confirm). Condition: Good pre‑loved condition—leather trim, corners and handles show signs of wear and scuffing; the interior lining has stains/marks; hardware remains shiny with scratches. Please review the photos and contact us for any additional details or close‑ups.

A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, codes and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional photos or details on request.
