Look, I get it. We all want a little bit of that boujee vibe without, you know, actually going broke. And scarves are the *perfect* gateway drug to designer dreams, I think. They’re relatively smaller, less commitment than, say, a whole tote (although, those are cute too! We’ll get there.). But still, the *Goyard-ness* is still there, right?
I saw somethin the other day, a kinda kinda Goyard-ish scarf on Vestiaire Collective. It was a pre-owned, which, hello, eco-friendly *and* potentially cheaper. (Second-hand is the way to go these days, gotta save the planet and my bank account, you feel me?) The listing said it was a “Goyard Silk Goyardine Scarf” but honestly, who knows what you’ll actually get? Be careful out there, girl!
Then there’s the whole “dupe” debate. Like, is it okay to buy something that’s *trying* to look like Goyard? I’m torn. On one hand, everyone deserves to feel good about what they’re wearing. On the other hand, supporting legit designers is important, too. It’s a moral quandary, I tell ya! I even saw something about Luxury LD offering “Goyard’s exclusive designs” but… wait, are they *actually* Goyard? The wording is kinda sus, ya know?
The RealReal has authenticated Goyard scarves, which is definitely a plus. At least you know you’re (probably) getting the real deal, even if it’s pre-loved. And, let’s be honest, a slightly worn scarf has character. It’s lived a life! It’s got stories to tell! (Maybe. Or maybe it just had a run-in with someone’s latte. Who knows?)
And, oh my god, silk? Forget about it. That’s like, the *ultimate* luxury fabric. Someone mentioned a “Scarf N°1” that reinterprets the chevron pattern, but honestly, anything less than silk just feels… *meh.* Like, if you’re gonna fake it ’til you make it, at least fake it with *quality*, right?
But hey, if you can’t swing the real deal, or even a convincing dupe, there are tons of scarves out there with similar vibes. I mean, chevrons aren’t exactly a patented design. Just find something you love, something that makes you feel confident, and rock it! And for the love of all that is holy, make sure it looks good with your favorite bag (Goyard or not!).
