I Dissected a Goyard Bag — Here's What $2,600 Actually Buys

Goyard doesn't sell online, doesn't advertise, and doesn't disclose prices, and about 95% of the bags on resale markets are fake. So I bought one, authenticated it, and cut it open.

Here's what the math says, and what's actually driving the price — history, scarcity, or the materials themselves.
