Goyard tells everyone to keep in mind this bag was made to be a beach bag. Therefore, the lining isn’t very durable. And I see you carry books in yours. Your straps will eventually give way if you continue doing that. But hey, since I paid full price for my nice Goyard St. Louis, I try do everything to make my investment last. If the cost of such a nice bag is no skin off your back, carry on with what you’re doing. Lol!
