Cost of keeping it
Sales tax and the consignment commission are never recovered. Together they decide the result more than the bag does.

Resale platforms take 15–40%. Selling privately is cheaper and slower.
A scheduled personal-articles rider, roughly 1–1.5% of value.

cost of owning it, after resale
$192 per year · $1.92 per wear
The bag held its value and you still lost money. Sales tax, the consignment commission, insurance, and reconditioning consumed the whole of it. On handbags the commission alone is usually larger than any appreciation.

Total across the holding period
You recover 86% of what the bag cost you. It does not break even within 5 years at these assumptions — which is the normal outcome, not a failure of the bag.
Value versus what you actually keep
The gap between the two lines is sales tax, commission, insurance, and reconditioning.

Artois PM market position
Carries a smaller premium than the Saint Louis because supply at boutiques is better and the price is higher to begin with. Still one of only two bags outside Hermès in this dataset that resell above what they cost new.

Goyard Artois PM — common questions
- How much does a Goyard Artois PM cost?
- Boutique retail is $3,300 before tax. On the resale market an excellent-condition example currently asks around $3,750, a premium of 14% over retail. With sales tax at 8.5%, buying new costs $3,581 out of pocket.
- Does the Goyard Artois PM hold its value?
- Not in cash terms. Held 5 years and consigned at 25% commission, it returns about $3,094 — roughly 86% of the $3,581 all-in purchase cost. After $475 of insurance and reconditioning, owning it costs about $962, or $192 a year. That is normal for a handbag.
- What is the cost per wear of a Goyard Artois PM?
- At a typical 100 wears a year over 5 years — 500 wears in total — and after recovering $3,094 on resale, the Goyard Artois PM works out at about $1.92 per wear. Kept rather than sold, it is $8.11 per wear. Carrying it twice as often halves the figure, which is the only lever that reliably moves it.
- Is the Goyard Artois PM worth buying at retail or pre-owned?
- Retail, decisively — if you can be offered one. The boutique price is $3,300 against $3,750 on the resale market, so an offer at retail is worth about $450 the day you collect it.
- What does it cost to maintain a Goyard Artois PM?
- Budget approximately $250 for a full reconditioning — cleaning, edge paint, hardware, and interior — roughly every 4 years, plus around $45 a year to schedule it on a personal-articles policy. Over 5 years that totals about $475. Goyardine coated canvas is the variable: it decides how often the bag needs attention and how harshly resale grades the wear.
