So, naturally, we’re all looking for ways to get that luxe look without, y’know, selling a kidney. And while the excerpts above mostly talk about totes, let’s stretch that idea to shoes, shall we? I mean, if you can dupe a bag, why not a shoe? The logic is, like, air tight, right?
Now, I haven’t seen a *ton* of “official” Goyard shoes floating around the internet (maybe they’re super exclusive and I’m just not cool enough to be invited to that party), but that doesn’t mean we can’t get creative! Think about it: that iconic Goyardine canvas pattern? You could totally find a pair of plain white sneakers and get them custom painted. I’ve seen people do amazing things with fabric markers, y’all. Or maybe hunt around on Etsy for a small business that does custom shoe designs. You could send them a picture of a Goyard tote and say, “Make this into shoe form, please!”
I saw one listing, kinda related, on Etsy, that was for a “Spacious Work Tote” that was a Goyard dupe. While not a shoe, it shows that the spirit of Goyard can be achieved on a budget!
Also, gotta say, if Luxury LD is really offering instant updates on “Goyard’s exclusive designs,” I might just have to sign up! Even if it’s just to fantasize about the real deal while I’m rocking my DIY “inspired” version.
Okay, maybe I’m being a *little* optimistic here. Finding a perfect Goyard shoe dupe might be like finding a unicorn riding a bicycle. But hey, a girl can dream, right? And in the meantime, there’s always the option of rocking a pair of plain black flats and pairing them with a Goyard-inspired tote. Close enough, right? Plus, you can always add a little DIY flair, like a Goyard-esque keychain on your shoes… okay, maybe that’s taking it too far.
Anyway, the point is, don’t let a hefty price tag keep you from expressing your style. Get creative, do some digging, and you might just stumble upon your own little piece of luxury… even if it’s not *exactly* the real deal. And hey, at least you’ll have more money left over for, like, pizza. And pizza is ALWAYS a good investment. Just sayin’.
