So, you’re probably wondering, “Okay, great, tax-free. But *how*?” Well, the easiest way is to buy one while traveling. See, Schiphol Airport, for example (according to whatever I just read), probably offers tax-free shopping because it’s, you know, a tourist destination. That means potentially less moolah out of your pocket, which is always a win. I mean, who doesn’t love a bargain, even if it’s on something ridiculously luxurious like a Goyard?
And speaking of luxury, the price of a Goyard bag is a whole other level of “what?!” Apparently, it’s influenced by *everything*. Materials, construction, the specific model (Artois, Anjou, Saint Louis – which sound like fancy cocktails, tbh), the size, and even if you want to get all extra and customize it. Limited edition? Forget about it. Your bank account will weep.
Honestly, I’m a little surprised Goyard isn’t talked about *more*. Maybe because they’re kinda low-key? Like, you gotta *know*. It’s not plastered all over Instagram like some other brands (no shade!). But that also means you gotta do your research on prices. And the price guides? They’re focusing on stuff like US price increases. But we’re talking about tax-free here, people! That’s a whole different ball game.
Now, hold on a sec… I saw something about “Etiqueta Única” which is apparently some fancy online reseller for pre-owned luxury goods. Okay, interesting. So, maybe you could find a *slightly* cheaper Goyard there, but it won’t be brand spanking new, and definitely not tax-free, unless you’re buying it from a tourist destination that offers those sweet, sweet refunds.
Speaking of refunds, I also stumbled across this thing about VAT refunds in France. And that’s where Goyard really shines, since they have stores in Paris, and Paris is basically the Goyard promised land. The VAT refund can be pretty substantial. I mean, who couldn’t use that extra chunk of change for, like, another bag? Or maybe just, you know, rent.
