Goyard Belvédère Bag Guide: PM vs MM

Goyard Belvédère PM vs MM: dimensions and weight

The current PM is the better starting point for a light everyday bag. Moving to the MM adds 7 cm across the front, 7 cm in height and 2 cm in depth, giving you more room to arrange a wallet and pouch without stacking everything tightly. It also adds 220 g before you put anything inside.

These are the current exterior measurements; Goyard presents the same dimensions in length × depth × height order. The curved flap, side gussets and seams reduce usable space inside, so a rigid object cannot fill the entire rectangle shown by the measurements.

Both sizes are made in France from Goyardine canvas with pebbled Decize taurillon leather, yellow cotton lining and palladium hardware. Choosing the MM changes the space and weight you carry, while the closure, pocket arrangement and carrying options remain the same.

Older bags were often measured by sellers using different conventions for base width, widest point, height and depth, so their numbers do not map neatly to Goyard's current table. When comparing an older PM, MM or GM, ask for the base width, widest point, clear opening and strap drop.

What fits in the Belvédère PM and MM?

The PM handles a phone, slim cardholder, keys, AirPods, lip balm and small sanitizer well when the items are compact. A small sunscreen or other personal items can join them, but a hard sunglasses case uses a large share of the 7 cm exterior depth. A soft glasses pouch leaves more room for the rest of your things.

The MM is useful when you want a compact wallet, glasses and a larger pouch together without packing as carefully. Its extra space makes those ordinary belongings easier to arrange; it does not make the opening square or remove the need for the flap to close.

iPhone 16 Pro Max and the rear pocket

An iPhone 16 Pro Max measures 16.3 × 7.76 cm, so it fits lying horizontally in the main compartment of either size; the PM is 22 cm across. Rear-pocket fit is a separate question: the PM is only 16 cm tall externally, and the pocket is smaller than that. Earlier PM versions have carried large iPhones in that pocket, but a thick case or grip can change the result on the current bag. Try your cased phone in the rear pocket if quick phone access is a reason you are buying it; otherwise keep it in the main compartment.

Bottles, umbrellas and tablets

Neither size is a dependable choice for a bottle without trying the exact one. A 500 ml capacity says nothing about a bottle’s height or diameter, and many bottles are too tall to stand in the PM. A short folding umbrella also has to pass through the opening and leave enough space beneath the flap. Bring these items to a fitting if you carry them every day.

Neither size is a tablet or laptop bag. Owner testing found the MM's flap would not close properly over a 13-inch iPad Pro, whose 28.16 cm long edge nearly matches the MM's 29 cm exterior width. The 11-inch iPad Pro, at about 25 × 17.8 cm, is a close call in the MM once you add a case or sleeve, and it is too large for the PM. If you want to carry an 11-inch tablet, try the MM fully closed around the actual device before buying.

The closure and inside pockets

The current Belvédère closes with a single leather tab and metal loop. To fasten it, align the flap with the loop and feed the tab through into its secured position. Opening reverses those steps. The tab can fall behind the canvas while the bag is open, which means retrieving it before you can close the bag again.

If you want one-motion access, compare the zip-top Cap-Vert PM instead.

Try the mechanism while wearing the bag with your usual belongings inside. Closing it on a counter can feel easier than closing it at your hip, particularly when you are also holding a phone or paying for something. Leaving the tab only partly threaded gives quicker access but does not secure the flap fully.

Inside, both sizes have two front pockets and one rear flat pocket around the main compartment. There is no current interior zip pocket. The exterior pocket sits against the back of the bag and stays open, so keep a passport or other valuables inside the closed main compartment. The older version with two front closures has a different interior, including a zipped pocket.

Strap, shoulder carry and crossbody fit

Both current sizes have a removable leather strap, adjusted through holes for shoulder or crossbody carry. There is no top handle. Goyard does not publish the current strap’s overall length, width or drop range, so measurements attached to an older Belvédère II listing should not be used to judge a new bag.

Try the bag at your preferred hip or waist height, then repeat with your usual jacket or winter coat. Check that you can lift the flap without the bag twisting away from you. If you are buying preowned, ask the seller to measure the shortest and longest usable strap drops on that exact bag.

The PM starts at 380 g, which makes it the easier choice when you want to keep the whole load light. The MM starts at 600 g before you use any of its extra space. Walk with it loaded before deciding: extra capacity is only useful if the strap remains comfortable on your shoulder.

Original Belvédère, Belvédère II and the current bag

The original PM is documented by 2015, owners were discussing the Belvédère II in 2018, and community reports place the move from smoother Vauzelles calfskin to pebbled Decize taurillon around 2022.

The original Belvédère has two front closures and an interior zip pocket. The later Belvédère II replaced the pair of closures with one central tab and uses flat inside pockets. That is the most useful distinction when looking at a preowned bag because it changes both access and where you can secure small valuables.

The current PM and MM retain the single central closure and use Decize taurillon leather. Goyard’s current web addresses include “belvedere-3,” and its product references begin with “BELVE3.” Sellers also use II, 2 and III inconsistently, so a listing title alone cannot establish the version. Compare the front closure, leather texture and interior before buying.

Older smooth-leather examples and a historical GM size also appear preowned. The current range lists PM and MM. For a GM or an earlier PM/MM, get measurements of the actual bag, including its opening; today’s size table does not describe every historical version.

Goyard Belvédère retail prices and buying in September 2026

As of September 2026, personalized Belvédère PM products start at US$3,110, and personalized MM products start at US$3,380. Goyard’s US pages for the plain PM and MM direct shoppers to contact the brand for pricing. The personalized starting amounts do not reveal the unpersonalized bag price or a separate artwork fee.

The PM Initials and MM Initials pages show those starting prices, with matching starting amounts for the respective Stripes and Initials versions. Ask for the total for your chosen color and artwork, including tax and delivery, before paying.

Boutiques and online ordering

For a plain bag, contact a Goyard boutique or use the contact option on the PM or MM page. Give the size and color you want, and confirm stock before making a special trip. A product page or color selector does not reserve a bag.

Selected personalized Belvédère products appear in Goyard’s US online assortment. Check the order options for your chosen version, color and delivery destination, or ask Goyard to arrange the purchase. For an unpersonalized PM or MM, start with a boutique inquiry.

Goyard’s online terms in September 2026 give about two to four weeks for personalized pieces, with complex artwork potentially taking up to six weeks, and exclude personalized orders from returns. Eligible non-personalized online purchases have a 30-day return window from receipt. Confirm the terms attached to a boutique purchase separately, especially before adding initials.

For Paris, London, Hong Kong or Singapore, request a local quote for the exact version. Converting a US personalized starting price will not tell you the local price of a plain bag. The Goyard price guide covers other models and regional price information.

Care and preowned inspection

A preowned Belvédère can give you access to an earlier interior, smooth leather or a color you cannot find in a boutique. Ask for clear photographs of the closure and pocket layout first, then inspect the parts that bend or rub during use. A light crease in a leather tab is less concerning than splitting, peeling edges or hardware that has become loose.

• Confirm the exact version from the front closure, interior pocket layout, leather texture and product code where available. A seller's II, 2 or 3 label can conflict with how the bag is built.
• Request close-ups of the closure-tab bend, both sides of the metal loop and the flap underside. On the original version, inspect both front closures and check the inside zipper.
• Look at both side edges with the flap open and closed. Belvédère II owners have reported rubbing where the flap and strap meet the body, which can wear the edge finishing even when the front of the bag looks clean.
• Ask for the full strap, its holes, edges and attachments. Confirm that the removable strap is present on a current bag and ask whether it has been shortened or replaced.
• Check all four corners, the bottom edge and an empty side profile. Filling a bag for photographs can hide flattened areas or bulging gussets.
• Request photos inside every pocket and across the yellow lining. Ask about stains, odor, cleaning, repainting, stitching repairs and any other alterations.

Before ordering, read the return deadline and condition restrictions, and confirm who pays return shipping or cross-border charges. Photographs can show wear clearly and still leave you with a bag whose strap or opening does not suit your belongings.

Cleaning and storage

Keep the canvas, leather and edge finishing away from abrasive surfaces, oils, makeup and perfume. Protect the bag from water, prolonged dampness, strong light and heat. If it gets wet, dab it with a soft absorbent cloth; repeated rubbing can damage the surface.

For routine care, use a soft lint-free cloth. Avoid solvents, household cleaners, machine cleaning and vigorous scrubbing. Store the bag in its dust bag with tissue supporting the shape, away from heat and damp, and avoid plastic storage.

Ask Goyard about deep cleaning or reconditioning before attempting a repair yourself. Service eligibility, cost and timing depend on the individual bag and its condition, so get that assessment before buying a heavily worn or altered example.

Belvédère alternatives: Cap-Vert, Petit Flot, Bohème and more

The Belvédère is worth choosing when you want crossbody carry, several pockets and a covered main compartment. If the closure, shallow depth or lack of a handle would bother you every day, these alternatives change those specific features.

Belvédère PM vs Goyard Cap-Vert PM

The Cap-Vert PM replaces the flap with a top zipper and has one inside flat pocket plus a front exterior pocket. At 22 cm across and 13 cm tall, it is the same width as the Belvédère PM but 3 cm shorter. It is the more direct choice for quick zip access, while the Belvédère offers more inside pockets and a removable strap; the Cap-Vert’s adjustable strap is fixed.

Belvédère vs Goyard Petit Flot

The Petit Flot weighs 260 g and has a 14.5 cm deep bucket body, giving irregularly shaped small belongings more room than either Belvédère. It supports shoulder and crossbody wear. Its drawstring opening and less divided interior suit someone happy to reach into one deeper space, but give less closure coverage and separation than the Belvédère’s flap and pockets.

Belvédère vs Goyard Bohème

The Bohème hobo is a much larger, softer shoulder bag with a top zipper. It measures 43 cm across, 27 cm high and 14 cm deep while weighing 330 g empty. It makes sense when you need a broad compartment for a larger daily load. You give up crossbody carry, so it solves a capacity problem rather than providing the same carrying experience as the Belvédère.

Belvédère PM vs Louis Vuitton Pochette Métis

The Monogram Pochette Métis adds a top handle, three inside compartments and an exterior zipped pocket. Its removable adjustable strap supports shoulder and crossbody use, and its contents can include a Sara long wallet. It weighs about 600 g, so the Belvédère PM saves 220 g before loading. Pick the Métis when a handle and compartment separation will help you more than a lighter bag.

Belvédère vs Gucci Ophidia small shoulder bag

The Gucci Ophidia small shoulder bag, style 838479 is a smaller option at about 19.1 × 9.4 × 5.1 cm. It has a zipper, two card slots and a short handle for shoulder or underarm wear. It suits a small wallet, lipstick and AirPods; it is not a substitute for the MM’s capacity or either Belvédère’s crossbody strap.
