Jocke, very nice Goyard! I'm almost ready to pull the trigger on the Goyard St. Sulpice card holder. BTW, nice watch.

Killer combo. You have several watches with blue accents. This wallet will serve you well!

Hi guys. I'm almost ready to pull the trigger on the Goyard St. Sulpice card holder in black/tan. Here is a pic that the sales associate sent me.



I'll post pics when it arrives.

Are you getting the darker interior or lighter?

I'm leaning towards the lighter interior which is the black/tan model. It has tan interior and tan edging. More casual IMO than the all black one. The interior of the card and center slots are lined with yellow leather

Great looking! I can't hardly wait until 5 Nov when we go to the Beverly Hills GTG and after we plan on hitting the Goyard boutique. I love the dimensionality of the Goyard prints.

Yea, I know what you mean about the Goyard prints! I was initially thinking about the black/black, but I have too many black wallets and card holders. The tan accents are a nice touch and makes it a more casual piece.

You made the right choice. Let us know how it holds up in a couple weeks.

Going off the reservation here... I won't buy a wallet without RFID protection (was skimmed last year)

Local company that makes cool stuff with carbon fiber. Common Fibers. They offer custom engraving so I chose my last name. Matches my shirt cuffs. :) The engraving is subtle - showed up better in the reflection view.

Schysst pluska, Jocke! Kanske vi borde ha en svensk tråd gående i någon sektion på TRF! :-)

While I personally wouldn't drop that type of cash on a Goyard or any other brand wallet, I do have to admit that they are of very high quality and a true luxury product.

I had bespoke, fully canvassed, hand stitched suits made from S150 tropical Merino wool in India for $400 apiece that look every bit as sharp as a $3000 Zegna or a $5000 Tom Ford suit. The fashion markups are crazy enough without makers hiding the country of origin. If the fashion house is paying 3rd world labor prices to make their luxury goods I'm good with that, but they should be honest up front that I'm not going to get an in house product.
I absolutely love Raymond's. Been getting everything stitched there for the last 8 years. Outstanding quality.

I know you mean. This is my foray into $300+ card holders, but you are right, they are high quality and true luxury!

Will do. Now I'm teetering back to black/black because it will probably show less wear and tear than black/tan. Black/black is definitely more formal than black/tan though. Decisions, decisions...
