While I would 100% say “Yes” to monogramming, that comes with some guidelines:

1. Think of your monogram like a tattoo for your bag & make sure you are picking something that you won’t get tired of.

2. Keep it simple & pick a 1-2 color combo that is neutral & compliments the bag color.

3. Place the monogram in a balanced position, either perfectly centered at the top of the bag or in a lower corner. The Goyard specialist will be able to assist in directing you on placement.

4. Get it done right. Have Goyard send the bag off, don’t skimp out on having someone else do it.

More history & information on Goyard, monogramming & pricing: 

Goyard was established in 1792 and is the oldest Parisian trunk maker still in the business. During this time, when several members of a family traveled together, their luggage would get mixed up. In France, tradition dictates that each piece be monogrammed with the initials of its owner to differentiate luggage, which tended to be very similar looking. In modern days, monogramming luggage has become a status symbol.

The stripes & lettering are hand painted on by a Goyard painter trained in Paris. Monogramming is considered an additional service and costs {up to 6 letters} $155 and the stripes {up to 3 stripes} will cost an additional $155.

I also get asked {very often} for the price of more popular Goyard Saint Louis, whose prices seem to be climbing each year. As of 1/17/2013 the pricing is as follows:

Black Large Tote: $1,280, Black Small Tote: $1,125

All other colors {including white}: Large Tote: $1,465, Small Tote: $1,670

I was told the prices will continue to raise so get your Goyard while it’s hot! The only places that sell Goyard are at select Barney’s locations and the {only} U.S based Goyard store in San Francisco.
