Goyard Bag Size Guide: Charts, Fit & What Works for You

You know that feeling when you finally decide to splurge on a Goyard… and then get completely stuck between PM, GM, XXL, Artois, Saint Louis, Anjou, and fifteen browser tabs? Yeah, you’re not alone.

Goyard bag size isn’t just about small vs big. It’s:

• How the brand lists measurements (which can be confusing at first)
• How many inches that actually is in real life
• Whether your 13″ MacBook, Stanley tumbler, or baby’s snacks will fit
• And most importantly: whether the bag will work for your lifestyle, not just your Pinterest board

This guide walks you through Goyard bag sizes in plain English, measurements, what fits, comparisons with Louis Vuitton and Chanel, fake-spotting by size, and how to choose the right one for daily life, travel, or special occasions.

So grab your current bag, maybe a tape measure, and let’s get very nerdy (and very practical) about Goyard sizing.

Goyard Bag Size: Understanding Measurements, Terminology, and Units

Before you even look at a size chart, it helps to know how Goyard talks about measurements. That way, when a listing says “Saint Louis GM – 34 × 28 × 15 cm,” you instantly know what that means in real life.

How Goyard lists dimensions (length × height × depth)

Goyard typically lists measurements as:

Length × Height × Depth (in centimeters)

You’ll usually see this on receipts, store cards, and serious resale listings.

• Length (L) – The measurement across the bottom of the bag, left to right, when you’re looking at it straight on.
• Height (H) – From the base of the bag to the top edge (not including handles).
• Depth (D) – From front to back at the base.

Where it gets a little tricky is the difference between soft, unstructured totes and more structured shapes.

Unlined / Soft Models (like the Saint Louis Tote)

• The Saint Louis is famously unlined and very slouchy.
• Because the bag is flexible, the dimensions you see online are approximate.
• A flat-laying Saint Louis will measure a little differently than one that’s stuffed and standing.
• Expect a variance of about ±1–2 cm depending on how the bag is measured.

Structured Models (like Artois, Saïgon, Bellechasse)

• These have more defined construction, often with leather corners, base, or piping.
• Their measurements are usually more consistent from listing to listing.
• Height is easier to measure because the shape holds itself up.

So when two resale sites list slightly different numbers for the same size Goyard, it doesn’t automatically mean one is fake, it may just be measured differently or slouching more.

Converting between cm and inches, quick reference

Goyard uses centimeters, but your brain (and laptop size) probably thinks in inches. Quick conversion anchor:

• 1 inch ≈ 2.54 cm
• 10 inches ≈ 25.4 cm

Here’s a fast cheat sheet you can mentally keep:

cm	inches (approx.)
20 cm	7.9″
25 cm	9.8″
30 cm	11.8″
35 cm	13.8″
40 cm	15.7″
45 cm	17.7″

And for the bags themselves, I’ll give both cm and inches below so you don’t have to keep doing math on your phone like it’s a group project.

Quick Size Chart: All Popular Goyard Models (cm & inches)

Let’s go model by model so you can quickly see what you’re working with. These numbers are based on commonly referenced measurements from boutiques and reputable resale platforms: slight variations are normal.

Note: Dimensions are approximate and may vary by 0.5–1 cm between production years.

Saint Louis Tote, PM, GM, XXL (dimensions, handle drop)

The Saint Louis is the iconic, super-light, unlined tote that everyone recognizes.

Saint Louis PM (popular as an everyday / errand tote)

• Approx 34 × 28 × 15 cm (L × H × D)
• ≈ 13.4″ × 11″ × 5.9″
• Handle drop: ~ 19–20 cm (7.5–7.9″)

Saint Louis GM (great for work, travel, parents, over-packers)

• Approx 40 × 34 × 20 cm
• ≈ 15.7″ × 13.4″ × 7.9″
• Handle drop: ~ 20–21 cm (7.9–8.3″)

Saint Louis XXL (often used as a travel or beach oversize tote)

• Approx 50 × 40 × 23 cm
• ≈ 19.7″ × 15.7″ × 9.1″
• Handle drop: similar to GM, around 21 cm (8.3″)

Handle drop on Saint Louis totes is long enough for shoulder carry, even over a light coat. If you wear heavy puffers, you may find the PM tighter than the GM.

Artois Collection, PM, MM, GM (dimensions, zip vs open top)

The Artois is often described as the “structured Saint Louis with a zipper.” It has reinforced corners, thicker canvas, and a zip closure, which changes both how it carries and what fits.

Artois PM

• Approx 28 × 24 × 13 cm
• ≈ 11″ × 9.4″ × 5.1″
• Handle drop: ~ 18–19 cm (7.1–7.5″)
• Zip top, reinforced corners, feels more compact than Saint Louis PM.

Artois MM

• Approx 34 × 28 × 14 cm
• ≈ 13.4″ × 11″ × 5.5″
• Handle drop: ~ 19–20 cm (7.5–7.9″)

Artois GM

• Approx 40 × 32 × 18 cm
• ≈ 15.7″ × 12.6″ × 7.1″
• Handle drop: ~ 20–21 cm (7.9–8.3″)

Because of the structure and zipper, the Artois feels more secure and more boxy than a Saint Louis of similar length.

Anjou, Isabelle, Villette, Saïgon & Bellechasse, size variants

Anjou Tote (reversible leather-lined)

Think of Anjou as the luxe, reversible cousin of Saint Louis: Goyardine on one side, soft leather on the other.

• Anjou PM: ~ 34 × 28 × 15 cm (similar footprint to Saint Louis PM)
• Anjou GM: ~ 40 × 34 × 20 cm (similar to Saint Louis GM)
• Reversible, leather-lined, slightly heavier than Saint Louis.

Isabelle Tote

A clever multi-compartment tote with dividers.

• Approx 35 × 27 × 15 cm
• ≈ 13.8″ × 10.6″ × 5.9″

Villette (more vertical shopping tote)

• Roughly 30 × 34 × 14 cm
• ≈ 11.8″ × 13.4″ × 5.5″

Saïgon (top-handle, structured)

• Typically comes in Mini, PM, and sometimes larger sizes.
• Saïgon Mini: around 20 × 15 × 8 cm (~7.9″ × 5.9″ × 3.1″)
• Saïgon PM: around 25 × 18 × 9 cm (~9.8″ × 7.1″ × 3.5″)

Bellechasse Biaude (structured tote with side gussets)

• PM: ~ 30 × 26 × 14 cm
• MM: ~ 36 × 30 × 17 cm

These structured bags feel smaller inside than their raw dimensions because the walls don’t flex like a Saint Louis.

Goyard Backpacks & Crossbody Sizes, common dimensions

Some of the popular non-tote shapes:

Alpin Backpack (sizes can vary by model year)

• Often around 30 × 40 × 14 cm (11.8″ × 15.7″ × 5.5″)

Citadin Backpack

• Roughly 28 × 35 × 13 cm

Belvedere Crossbody

• PM: around 21 × 16 × 7 cm (8.3″ × 6.3″ × 2.8″)
• MM: around 26 × 20 × 8 cm (10.2″ × 7.9″ × 3.1″)

Boeing Duffles (travel)

• Sizes like 45, 50, 55 usually refer to length in cm.
• A Boeing 45 is about 45 × 27 × 22 cm, suitable for overhead bins and short trips.

Side-by-side table: all models with cm/inches, handle drop, strap length

Here’s a quick comparison of some of the most commonly shopped Goyard bag sizes:

Model & Size	L × H × D (cm)	L × H × D (in)	Handle Drop / Strap

Bellechasse PM	30 × 26 × 14	11.8 × 10.2 × 5.5	~18–19 cm (7.1–7.5″)
Bellechasse MM	36 × 30 × 17	14.2 × 11.8 × 6.7	~20–21 cm (7.9–8.3″)
Saïgon Mini	20 × 15 × 8	7.9 × 5.9 × 3.1	Top handle + strap
Saïgon PM	25 × 18 × 9	9.8 × 7.1 × 3.5	Top handle + strap
Belvedere PM	21 × 16 × 7	8.3 × 6.3 × 2.8	Crossbody strap
Belvedere MM	26 × 20 × 8	10.2 × 7.9 × 3.1	Crossbody strap

Use this table as your sanity check: if a listing is way off these ranges, pause and question it.

What Fits Inside Each Goyard Bag Size

Numbers are great… but you really just want to know: Will my stuff fit? Let’s break it down by real items, not just centimeters.

Common items checklist (phone, wallet, water bottle, cosmetics, umbrella)

Let’s use a standard “daily carry” list:

• Smart phone (iPhone 15 Pro Max / Samsung Galaxy)
• Full-size wallet (like a Louis Vuitton Sarah or Goyard long wallet)
• Keys with key pouch
• Small cosmetics pouch
• Folding umbrella
• 500–750 ml water bottle

Saint Louis PM

• Phone + long wallet + keys + cosmetic pouch: yes, comfortably
• 500 ml water bottle: fits standing or sideways
• Folding umbrella: fits (you’ll notice more of a slouch)
• Still room for a book or light sweater

Saint Louis GM

• Everything above plus: laptop sleeve, notebook, scarf, snacks
• 750 ml water bottle: yes
• Great as a “catch-all” mom bag or commuter tote.

Saint Louis XXL

• Think beach / weekender: towels, sandals, sweater, large pouch, even packing cubes.

Artois PM

• Phone, compact wallet, keys, small pouch, Kindle or paperback
• 500 ml water bottle: usually yes, but it’ll eat up a lot of space
• Feels like a tidy, organized small work or errand tote.

Artois MM

• Full daily carry + tablet or 13″ laptop (snug), plus water bottle
• Better if you like more structure and a zipper.

Anjou PM/GM

• Roughly same capacity as Saint Louis PM/GM, but leather lining makes it feel a bit tighter and heavier.

Laptop & tablet fit guide (which sizes fit 11″, 13″, 15″, 16″ laptops)

Use this as a realistic fit overview (with or without a slim sleeve):

Bag	11″ iPad / tablet	13″ laptop	15″ laptop	16″ laptop
Saint Louis PM	Yes (easy)	Snug, usually diagonally	No (not ideal)	No
Saint Louis GM	Yes	Yes (vertical or horizontal)	Yes (often vertical)	Usually yes, often vertical
Saint Louis XXL	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes, with extra room
Artois PM	Yes (bare / small case)	Generally no	No	No
Artois MM	Yes	Yes (snug, may need to angle)	Not ideal	No
Artois GM	Yes	Yes	Yes (snug)	Possibly, depending on model thickness
Isabelle	Yes	13″ sometimes (no bulky case)	Not ideal	No

If your main non-negotiable is “this needs to carry my 13″ MacBook safely,” I’d personally steer you to:

• Saint Louis GM, or
• Artois MM/GM if you want more structure and a zipper.

Packing examples, PM vs GM vs XXL

When I bought my Saint Louis PM, I did the classic thing: dumped the contents of my existing tote on the bed and played Tetris.

Here’s a realistic Saint Louis PM day pack:

• Long wallet
• iPhone + AirPods
• Keys
• Mini pouch with lip balm, hand cream, powder
• Small notebook + pen
• Thin sunglasses case
• 500 ml water bottle standing in a corner

Result: fits comfortably, but if I add a book and umbrella, it starts to feel a little chaotic.

Saint Louis GM work/commute pack:

• 13″ laptop in a neoprene sleeve
• Laptop charger
• A4 notebook or slim folder
• Wallet + keys + phone
• Cosmetic pouch
• 500–750 ml bottle
• Light cardigan or scarf

Result: still space to spare, but this is where an organizer insert becomes your best friend so it doesn’t become a black hole.

Saint Louis XXL travel pack (carry-on):

• Packing cube with clothes
• Toiletry bag
• Laptop in sleeve
• Travel wallet + passport holder
• Big scarf / wrap
• Snacks, Kindle, headphones

Result: perfect plane carry-on if you don’t mind a very open, soft tote.

If you’re very petite, the XXL can feel like you’re carrying half your closet on your shoulder, so something like a Boeing 45 or Artois GM might be a more balanced travel option.

How to Choose the Right Goyard Bag Size for Your Lifestyle

Here’s where it stops being about measurements and starts being about you.

Daily commute & work, recommended sizes and organization tips

Ask yourself:

• Do you carry a laptop every day?
• Do you commute by car, train, or walking a lot?
• Are you usually in business casual or more relaxed clothes?

If you carry a laptop daily:

• Saint Louis GM, light, roomy, easy to slip a laptop sleeve in.
• Artois MM/GM, better if you want a zip top and more structure so files don’t flop.

If you’re mostly paper, tablet, and small things:

• Artois PM or Bellechasse PM/MM are nice if you prefer a structured, cleaner silhouette.

Organization tips:

• Add a felt or leather bag organizer (try brands like Zoomoni or Samorga sized for Saint Louis/Artois). It instantly:
• Adds structure
• Creates compartments
• Protects the unlined interior from pen leaks or lipstick mishaps
• Use pouches: one for tech, one for beauty, one for “random” (medicine, tissues, etc.).

Travel & weekend use, best Goyard sizes for carry-on and overnight

For short trips and weekends, think about how you pack:

• If you pack light and love a tote:
• Saint Louis GM or Anjou GM works beautifully as a combined personal item + city tote.
• If you like a more structured travel bag:
• Boeing 45 or 50 duffles are excellent as carry-ons.
• If you carry tons of stuff (kids, snacks, jackets, the whole house):
• Saint Louis XXL is your “throw everything in” beach/road trip bag.

Practical travel detail: many people slide their Goyard tote over a suitcase handle by balancing it sideways. It’s not perfect (no dedicated trolley sleeve like some Tumi bags), but it works if you don’t overload the tote.

Special occasions & evening, compact styles and alternatives

For dinners, weddings, or events where you don’t want to haul your entire life:

Look at:

• Saïgon Mini or PM, chic, structured, works for dressy outfits.
• Belvedere PM, easy crossbody that fits phone, small wallet, keys, and a lip product.
• Small pouch from a Saint Louis (yes, the detachable pouch), great as a minimalist clutch.

If Goyard is your only bag purchase and you still want something event-appropriate, I’d:

• Choose a Saint Louis PM or Artois PM as the all-rounder.
• For events, carry just the detachable pouch inside as your clutch. It’s a subtle hack and looks intentional.

Size-Based Features & Functionality

Two Goyard bags might have similar measurements but feel totally different on your shoulder. That’s where weight, structure, and handle drop come in.

Weight differences across sizes and material impact (Goyardine vs leather)

Goyard is known for being extremely lightweight, thanks to its coated canvas called Goyardine. But not all Goyard bags weigh the same.

• Saint Louis (Goyardine, unlined): incredibly light, almost shockingly so when empty.
• Anjou (Goyardine + full leather lining): noticeably heavier than Saint Louis, even though the dimensions are similar.
• Artois, Bellechasse, structured models: slightly heavier due to extra leather and reinforcement.

Rough feel:

• Saint Louis PM: feels lighter than many high-street totes from Zara or Coach.
• Anjou GM: starts to feel weighty before you even add a laptop.

If you have shoulder/back issues or carry your life around daily, factoring in base weight matters more than the exact bag size.

Interior capacity (approx liters) and organization options

We can’t see “liters” on a price tag, but it helps to visualize capacity:

• Saint Louis PM: roughly in the 12–14 L range
• Saint Louis GM: around 20–22 L
• Saint Louis XXL: closer to 30 L+
• Artois PM: around 9–10 L
• Artois MM: around 13–15 L
• Artois GM: around 18–20 L

Because Saint Louis totes are soft and open, they feel bigger than a structured bag with the same liter volume.

For organization:

• Use inserts to create mini-pockets inside.
• Add a zip pouch for valuables since many Goyard bags (Saint Louis especially) are open-top.

Handle drop, shoulder carryability, and strap-adjustment guidance

Handle drop is the distance from the top of the handle to the top edge of the bag when the bag is hanging.

Why it matters:

• Too short = digs into your armpit, especially with coats.
• Too long = bag hangs too low, bumps your hip or feels clumsy.

General feel:

• Saint Louis PM/GM/XXL: shoulder-friendly, even over light outerwear.
• Artois PM: can feel a bit snug on broader shoulders or thick coats.
• Structured top-handle bags (Saïgon): better as hand/arm carry, with optional strap for crossbody.

For crossbody bags (Belvedere, Saïgon with strap):

• Straps are adjustable but not infinite. If you’re very tall (over ~5’9″) and prefer low-slung crossbody, test it in store or ask sellers for strap length in cm before buying online.

If you’re unsure, try this: measure a bag you already love on your shoulder and compare that handle drop to the Goyard measurements above.

Measuring Tips: How to Measure Your Bag & Compare With Other Brands

If you’ve got a tote you already love, you can reverse-engineer your ideal Goyard bag size by measuring it.

Step-by-step: measuring length, height, depth and strap drop

Grab a flexible measuring tape (sewing-style is best) and your current bag.

1. Length (L)

• Lay the bag flat or stand it upright.
• Measure across the bottom front edge from left corner to right corner.

1. Height (H)

• From the base of the bag straight up to the top edge (don’t include handles).

1. Depth (D)

• Measure the side base from front to back.

1. Handle Drop

• Hold the bag upright.
• Measure from the top of the handle to the top edge of the bag’s body.

Write those numbers down in cm and inches (use the 2.54 conversion) and compare them to the Goyard chart in the earlier section.

How Goyard sizes compare to Louis Vuitton, Prada, Chanel, cross-brand fit guide

If you’re already familiar with other brands, this will help translate:

• Goyard Saint Louis PM ≈ in the realm of Louis Vuitton Neverfull PM in footprint, but lighter and floppier.
• Saint Louis GM ≈ similar to Louis Vuitton Neverfull GM, slightly different proportions but same “giant tote” energy.
• Artois MM ≈ sits somewhere between Prada Galleria Medium and a Neverfull MM in capacity, but with more structure.
• Bellechasse MM ≈ closer in feel to a structured work tote like a Saint Laurent Sac de Jour (small/medium) in terms of vertical height and stiffness.
• Saïgon PM ≈ similar capacity to a Chanel Classic Flap Jumbo in what it realistically carries (phone, small wallet, keys, lipstick, compact).

This is where comparing your existing bags becomes super helpful. If you know your Neverfull GM is overkill for everyday, then a Saint Louis PM or Artois MM will likely be your sweet spot.

Sizing & Authenticity: Spotting Fake or Misstated Goyard Bag Size

One underrated way to spot trouble with a Goyard listing? The measurements just don’t add up.

Common size inconsistencies in counterfeits and used-market listings

Red flags to watch for:

• Totally off measurements

Example: a “Saint Louis PM” listed as 38 × 30 × 18 cm. That’s much closer to GM territory. Either the seller measured it strangely… or it’s mislabeled (sometimes intentionally).

• Strap length wildly wrong

If the handle drop is only 14 cm on a “Saint Louis GM”, it won’t sit on your shoulder like a real one.

• Strange proportions in photos

If the height looks almost square vs rectangular, compare it to photos from official Goyard boutiques or reputable resellers like Fashionphile, Rebag, or Vestiaire Collective.

What to check in product listings: exact measurements, photos with scale

Before you click “Buy now,” check:

• Exact L × H × D in cm

• Ask the seller to confirm with a measuring tape in photos.

• Handle drop

• Crucial if you want shoulder carry.

• Photos with scale

• Look for the bag next to a standard object (A4 paper, laptop, a water bottle) or ask for it if not shown.

• Modeling shots

• Even mirror selfies help you see how the size looks on a real body.

If the seller resists giving measurements or says things like “I don’t have a tape measure, but it’s standard size,” that’s your sign to walk away (or at least proceed with serious caution).

Personalization, Custom Orders & Availability by Size

Goyard has that old-world, slightly mysterious vibe, and that extends to personalization and special sizes.

Goyard personalization options (initials, stripes) and how that affects sizing/appearance

You can have hand-painted monograms, stripes, and motifs added to most Goyardine bags:

• Initials (1–3 letters)
• Classic stripes in multiple color combos
• Sometimes special motifs (crowns, pets, etc., depending on boutique and season)

This doesn’t change the actual bag size, but it absolutely changes the visual weight:

• On a PM bag, large initials can dominate the surface, making it look bolder and more statement-y.
• On a GM or XXL, monograms feel more balanced and less “in your face.”

If you’re petite or you like discreet bags, you might prefer:

• Smaller initials on a smaller size, or
• Placing personalization near the top or corner so it doesn’t visually expand the bag.

Made-to-order or limited sizes, how to request and expected lead times

Some sizes or colors may not be immediately available, especially in rare colors or certain models.

In boutique, you can:

• Ask if a particular color/size combo is in stock anywhere else.
• Request a transfer or be placed on a waitlist.
• In some cases, inquire about special orders (this can vary by region and boutique policy).

Lead times for personalization can range roughly from a couple of weeks to a few months, depending on:

• How complex the design is
• How busy the workshop is

So if you’re planning a bag for a wedding, trip, or milestone birthday, build in some buffer time.

Buying & Trying: In-Store vs Online Sizing Considerations

You can absolutely figure out your ideal Goyard bag size online, but trying in-store (if you can) helps you feel how the bag sits on your body.

Tips for trying on in store (what to bring, how to evaluate handle drop)

If you’re going to a Goyard boutique or a department store that carries Goyard (like Bergdorf Goodman or some Le Bon Marché-type stores in Europe), plan like this:

Bring:

• Your laptop or tablet (if that’s a daily essential)
• A water bottle you actually use
• Your current wallet and pouches

Then, in store:

1. Load the bag with your actual stuff.

Don’t be shy, this is the time to see if that Saint Louis PM suddenly feels tiny.
2. Try it with your typical outerwear thickness.

If you live somewhere cold, think about winter coats. If you’re trying in summer, at least mentally add a few cm.
3. Walk around for a few minutes.

Notice: does the corner dig into your hip? Does the strap slip off your shoulder?

A bag that feels a tiny bit roomy in store will usually feel perfect in real life once you add a few more inevitable items.

How to verify online listings, measurement checklist and return policy tips

When buying online (brand-new from official partners or resale):

• Check L × H × D in cm against the size chart earlier.
• Confirm which size name (PM, MM, GM, XXL) is on the receipt or tag.
• Ask for clear photos of corners, handles, and base to ensure it hasn’t stretched or warped badly (which can subtly change fit).

Return policy basics:

• For new: verify you can at least exchange if the size doesn’t work.
• For resale: many platforms allow returns if the item is not as described, including size. Screenshot descriptions and measurements just in case.

A small extra step that helps: cut a piece of paper or cardboard to the base size (L × D), lay it on your desk or floor, and put your daily items inside that rectangle. It gives you a more physical sense of how your life fits inside that Goyard footprint.

Care, Storage & Longevity by Size

Bigger bags tend to suffer more abuse, overstuffing, stretching, dumping on the floor, so size does matter for longevity.

Cleaning and storage best practices for small vs large Goyard bags

In general:

• Wipe Goyardine (coated canvas) with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
• Avoid harsh chemicals, alcohol wipes, or scrubbing.

Smaller bags (Saïgon, Belvedere, small totes):

• Store with light stuffing (tissue, old t-shirts) to keep shape.
• Keep the strap tucked neatly inside to avoid bending or kinks.

Larger totes (Saint Louis, Anjou, Artois GM/XXL):

• Don’t overstuff when storing: just enough filling to hold the base.
• Store upright in their dust bags, not buried under other bags.
• Avoid hanging them for long periods when heavily loaded, this can stress the handles.

How overpacking affects shape and longevity, size-specific advice

If you consistently push a PM bag to GM-level capacity, it’ll show:

• Corners wear faster.
• Handles stretch and can become misshapen.
• The base can bow out or sag.

Specifically:

• Saint Louis PM overstuffed with a laptop and heavy items can cause the thin straps to dig and wear sooner.
• Artois and Bellechasse handle heavy loads a bit better due to structure, but you’ll still see stress at stitching points.

If you routinely carry:

• A laptop + charger + water + books → You’re a GM or larger person.
• Mostly wallet, phone, makeup, small planner → PM or MM will be healthier for the bag long-term.

A simple rule: choose the size where you can carry your daily items at about 70–80% capacity, not 100–110%. Your shoulders, and your Goyard, will thank you.

FAQ — Common Questions About Goyard Bag Size

Let’s hit some of the most common “wait, but…” questions.

Which Goyard bag size is best for travel?

For air travel as a personal item or carry-on:

• Saint Louis GM is the sweet spot: big enough for laptop, layers, and in-flight essentials, but not comically huge.
• If you travel very heavy or with kids, Saint Louis XXL or a Boeing 45/50 duffle is amazing as a weekender.

For city travel / sightseeing:

• Belvedere PM/MM crossbody or Saïgon Mini works well, you’re hands-free and not dragging a giant tote on cobblestones.

Can a Goyard PM fit a 13″ laptop?

It depends on the model:

• Saint Louis PM: a 13″ laptop can sometimes squeeze in diagonally or without a sleeve, but it’s not ideal. It’s tight and doesn’t protect the corners well.
• Artois PM: generally no for a comfortable, practical fit.

If a 13″ laptop is a non-negotiable daily item, go straight to:

• Saint Louis GM, or
• Artois MM (for more structure and a zip).

How to measure handle drop for shoulder carry?

To measure handle drop on your Goyard (or any bag):

1. Stand the bag upright on a table.
2. Let the handles fall naturally.
3. Place the zero of the tape at the top edge of the bag’s opening.
4. Measure straight up to the highest point of the handle.

For comfortable shoulder carry:

• Many people like 18–22 cm (7–8.5″) handle drop, depending on coat thickness.

Are XXL Saint Louis totes genuine Goyard sizes?

Yes, Saint Louis XXL is a genuine Goyard size, but:

• It’s less commonly stocked than PM/GM.
• You might see it more in certain boutiques or in limited colors.

If a listing says “XXL” but the measurements are basically GM dimensions, that’s a red flag. Expect something around 50 × 40 × 23 cm for a true XXL.

Conclusion — Choosing the Right Goyard Bag Size for You

If you’ve made it this far, you’re clearly doing what most people skip: actually thinking through which Goyard bag size fits your life, not just your Instagram feed.

Here’s the simple way to wrap it up:

• If you mainly carry essentials (phone, wallet, small pouch): look at Saint Louis PM, Artois PM, Bellechasse PM, or Belvedere PM.
• If you’re a laptop + everything else person: Saint Louis GM, Anjou GM, Artois MM/GM are your power players.
• If you want a travel beast or beach tote: Saint Louis XXL or Boeing 45/50 will make your suitcase jealous.
• For events and evenings: Saïgon Mini/PM, Belvedere PM, or the Saint Louis detachable pouch make Goyard work with dressier looks.

1. Measure a bag you already love.
2. Compare it to the Goyard size chart above.
3. Decide if you’re really a PM, MM, GM, or XXL personality.

Once you’ve nailed your ideal Goyard bag size, everything else becomes fun, colors, monograms, stripes, the whole fantasy. And the best part? When that box finally arrives (or that sales associate finally hands over the dust bag), you’ll know it’s not just pretty… it’s perfect for how you actually live.
