Gotta get them on my pillow before this happens...

But honestly, I've had desert boot soles last a year or two with frequent, heavy wear. The crepe sole doesn't really deter me from these. I think I'd actually prefer it for a little more comfort and casual look.

I also have desert boots with crepe sole that I still rock. The issue isn't necessarily the sole, but more so the color of them. Those beigish colored crepe soles look extra dirty after minimal wear. :x

I'm not offended at all, they just custom vans I like em.

Btw they stopped hand painting in 2006

I was under the impression that they're still hand-painted, only a stencil is used now as opposed to freehand painting prior to 2006.

nope its not hand painted anymore


Taken from Goyard's website:

Like all family secrets, the exact manufacturing process of the Goyardine remains strictly confidential. Though it was originally hand-painted, the current process requires a ground-colour application, followed by three successive layers of etching colours that create its trademark slightly raised pattern.

i acutally asked some Asian lady who is like a purse snob about this an she explained it to me also

they def dont hand paint anymore

I was really tempted, especially since the Need Supply promo code brought it down to $430 shipped.
Decided to pass this time, hopefully I don't regret it.

wat promo? Couldn't find anywhere?

Need Supply is a forum sponsor for another forum.

Not sure if I should be posting about it here.

PM'ed.

Learned something new there! I was unaware, thanks for the info.
I feel like I remember the SA telling me that it was still hand-painted when I purchased my wallet. Either lying or misinformed, I guess.

The customization is still hand-painted though, correct?

photoman85 I don't think he was referring to your post. He quoted a post that was in response to the SL's another member was selling.

Thanks for the new knowledge. However, I'm quite disgusted they are charging those ridiculous prices when it's not even hand painted. Smh Seriously. $1600 for a tote bag made of hemp/canvas with layered paint is disrespectful. Meanwhile people are paying $800 for a 3 slot card holder and their credit card has a limit.

All high end brands get over on people with pricing

lol well yea

its been discussed in here before that mark up on luxury goods is absurd

that is why there is a huge replica market, nothing is safe to be honest

you should see the valentino runner reps (with the camo), they are getting too good these days, yeezyboost for example has like 7 or 8 diff models out top one bein the best obviously, these factories almost compete for the best product. social media prob increased demand also hell they even go back to the factory an make adjusttments off of feedback.


i find it intriguing actually, i want to visit china to take a tour of these factories , i also wonder how much money they make

but yea back to goyard, they had to keep up with demand so they changed process

random.

Some of the more well known reps make bank. They don't pay for marketing so they can still make the same markup as the authentic product. Just have to push units.
