Learn More about Our Favorite Goyard Crossbody Bags: Cap-Vert and Belvedere

Goyard Crossbody Bags

When it comes to luxury bags, Goyard is known for its timeless craftsmanship, unique designs, and understated exclusivity. While Goyard bags like the Saint Louis and Anjou are renowned for their practicality, the brand’s crossbody bags offer a perfect blend of style and functionality. Designed to appeal to both men and women, Goyard’s crossbody bags come in a variety of colors, including classic neutrals and bold primary shades. Unlike many luxury brands that create distinct collections for men and women, Goyard’s designs remain unisex, versatile, and effortlessly stylish.

Among their crossbody offerings, the Cap-Vert and Belvedere bags stand out as fan favorites. Whether you're seeking a compact, sleek everyday option or a more spacious and structured silhouette, these bags offer something for everyone. Let’s take a closer look at what makes them special.

Goyard Cap-Vert Crossbody

The Cap-Vert crossbody bag draws inspiration from Goyard’s iconic Courier Trunks, bringing a touch of the brand’s heritage into a modern, everyday accessory. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this mini bag features creased leather panels that mimic the reinforced edges of traditional Goyard trunks. The wrap-around zipper further enhances its structured, rectangular silhouette, creating a refined yet functional design.

This bag is available in a single size, PM (13 cm x 6.5 cm x 22 cm), and comes in all of Goyard’s signature colors, including Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Sky Blue, Navy Blue, Burgundy, White, Grey, Black/Black, and Black/Tan.

More than A Crossbody

More than just a stylish crossbody, the Cap-Vert PM is designed for versatility. Its adjustable shoulder strap allows for comfortable wear, whether you’re out for a casual day in the city or attending an evening event. The secure wrap-around zipper keeps your essentials safe, making it an excellent choice for those who prioritize both fashion and function.

The Goyard Belvedere Crossbody

The Belvedere PM is another standout from Goyard’s crossbody lineup, offering a slightly more spacious and rounded silhouette compared to the Cap-Vert. With dimensions of 22 cm x 7 cm x 16 cm, it accommodates more essentials while maintaining a sleek profile. For those who prefer a larger messenger-style bag, Goyard also offers the Belvedere MM, which measures 29 cm x 9 cm x 23 cm.

One of the key highlights of the Belvedere bag is its adjustable shoulder strap, allowing for versatile wear over the shoulder or across the body. The thoughtful design ensures comfort without compromising on elegance.

Extra Pockets For Easy Organization

What sets the Belvedere apart is its focus on organization. It features both interior and exterior pockets, providing convenient storage for easy access to essentials. Additionally, the flap closure, secured with a leather strap and Palladium metal tab, adds an extra layer of protection while enhancing the bag’s sophisticated look.

A Nod to Goyard's Rich Heritage

The design of the Belvedere crossbody pays homage to Goyard’s roots. Before the brand became synonymous with luxury, the Goyard family specialized in log driving, a trade that required durable, functional bags. The Belvedere’s messenger-style silhouette is a modern reinterpretation of the bags once used by log workers in the Morvan Forest, where they carried their packed lunches. Today, this crossbody serves as an elegant yet practical companion for urban lifestyles, blending history with contemporary fashion.

Both the Cap-Vert and Belvedere crossbody bags embody Goyard’s commitment to craftsmanship, versatility, and timeless design. If you prefer a compact, structured bag with a sleek, minimalist appeal, the Cap-Vert PM is an excellent choice. If you’re looking for a slightly larger, more classic messenger bag with extra organization, the Belvedere PM or MM offers a practical yet stylish solution.

How Much is a Goyard Belvedere?

The Goyard Belvedere, known for its structured silhouette and versatile design, has a retail price starting at approximately $3,200 for the standard Goyardine canvas version. As with all Goyard bags, prices can vary based on size, color, and availability. On the secondary market, the Belvedere often sells for $3,500 to $5,000, with limited-edition colors or discontinued variations commanding higher premiums. Special-order versions in custom hues or exotic materials can exceed these figures, making them highly sought-after by collectors.

How Much is a Goyard Cap-Vert?

The price of a Goyard Cap-Vert varies depending on factors such as material, condition, and availability. As of recent pricing, a brand-new Goyard Cap-Vert in classic Goyardine canvas retails for around $2,500. However, due to the brand’s exclusivity and limited boutique locations, resale prices can fluctuate. On the secondary market, unworn or rare colorways often command premiums, with prices ranging from $3,000 to $4,500. Special-order Cap-Vert bags in unique color combinations or exotic leathers can fetch even higher prices, depending on rarity and demand.

While Goyard bags in pristine condition often command a premium over retail, Sotheby’s offers a curated selection of these bags in a variety of the most sought-after colors and sizes through our marketplace. By shopping with Sotheby’s, you can purchase a store-fresh Goyard bag without the need to visit a physical store. While it’s possible to acquire a Goyard bag directly from one of Goyard’s exclusive boutiques, the brand has a limited number of locations worldwide and restricts the number of purchases each customer can make annually. Many buyers come to Sotheby’s not only for the opportunity to purchase more than four Goyard bags in a year, but also to bypass the lengthy wait and uncertainty of boutique availability. While we always recommend building a relationship with a Goyard Sales Associate, Sotheby’s can save you valuable time and streamline your Goyard acquisition process.

4. Discovery

One of the greatest advantages of shopping in a global luxury marketplace is the chance to discover unique, one-of-a-kind Goyard pieces and rare, limited-edition bags no longer available at Goyard boutiques.
