Goyard Cap-Vert PM Bag Guide: Size, What Fits and Price

Cap-Vert PM Dimensions, Weight and Pockets

The Cap-Vert PM is 8.66 inches across and 2.56 inches deep. That depth is useful for several small objects together, but it leaves little room to stack thick cases. Empty, the bag weighs about 13.6 oz, so a phone, power bank and wallet can account for much of the weight on your shoulder.

Goyard labels the dimensions length × width × height; width in that description is the depth from front to back. The measurements above describe the outside of the bag. The lining, seams and zipper ends all reduce the space available for your belongings.

Goyard does not publish the internal dimensions, zipper opening length, strap width, total strap length or capacity in liters. If a seller quotes those numbers, treat them as the seller’s own measurements and compare them with the exterior size above.

The leather panels beside the zipper and rectangular body borrow details from Goyard trunks. Inside, the flat pocket separates a few thin items from the main compartment, but there is no divider or included removable pouch. A soft pouch can keep small loose items together without taking as much room as a thick organizer.

One Current PM Size, with Standard and Personalized Versions

As of September 2026, Goyard lists the Cap-Vert in PM. The standard bag, Initials version, Stripes and Initials version, and Evergreen 2026 edition share the same dimensions and 385 g empty weight. Personalization changes the decoration rather than the capacity.

Standard colors and painted initials

The standard and personalized bags have yellow cotton lining. Goyard displays 11 color choices for the Cap-Vert in its online catalog, though a color choice on the website does not establish stock at your chosen store. Ask for the exact canvas and leather trim combination when contacting a boutique.

Evergreen 2026

Goyardine itself comes in black, red, orange, yellow, green, sky blue, navy, burgundy, grey, white, silver and gold, with other colors appearing periodically. That house-wide palette does not mean every color is made in the Cap-Vert, so ask a boutique which colors it can supply in your country.

The Evergreen limited edition combines khaki, dark green and opaline chevrons with a specific painted decoration. It has black cotton lining, which distinguishes it from the yellow-lined standard and personalized bags. Its shape, pockets and strap drop remain the same, so it does not solve a fit problem with the standard PM.

Name and search spellings

Goyard calls the current model the Cap-Vert PM Bag. Preowned listings also use Cap Vert, Capvert, Sac Cap Vert and Cap Vert camera bag, so search all of them. The Cap-Vert name appears in owner discussions from November 2011, which shows the bag has been around for some time but does not establish its launch date.

What Fits in the Goyard Cap-Vert PM?

A phone, cardholder or compact wallet, small key set and a few items such as AirPods and lip balm make a practical daily load. Sunglasses can join them if the case is compact. Start with the objects you carry every day, because a bulky case can leave enough space for a phone while making the wallet awkward to retrieve.

The iPhone 16 Pro Max measures 16.3 × 7.76 cm before adding a case, which makes a main-compartment fit plausible. Owners have carried earlier Pro Max phones, but a thick case can change how easily yours clears the zip. Keep the phone in the main chamber while assessing the rest of your load; front-pocket retention is a separate concern.

Why the zipper opening matters for a long wallet

A 19 cm Richelieu wallet appears smaller than the bag’s 22 cm exterior width, but that leaves only 3 cm before accounting for the side seams and zipper ends. A rigid item must pass between those ends and turn into position. Goyard does not publish the clear opening measurement, so the exterior width cannot settle long-wallet fit.

Try inserting and removing the wallet with the other essentials already inside. If its corners catch on the zipper ends, or removal requires pulling the opening apart, it is too awkward for regular use. A cardholder or compact wallet leaves more space for your hand and makes paying easier.

Passports, bottles and umbrellas

A bare UK passport, about 12.5 × 8.8 cm, should fit in the main compartment based on its dimensions. A thick passport cover takes more room. For travel, keep the passport and wallet behind the zip and use the front pocket for a ticket you can afford to lose.

A bottle taller than the bag’s 13 cm exterior height cannot stand upright with the zip closed. A 500 ml label says nothing about a bottle’s shape, and a short bottle laid sideways can displace most of your essentials. A folding umbrella creates a similar problem with its length and handle. If either is a daily requirement, a deeper bag will be more useful.

Pack without pressing the top into a bulge, then close the zip and remove your phone and wallet several times. That checks whether the load is usable throughout the day, including when you are standing at a checkout counter.

Strap Fit, Shoulder Comfort and Bag Rotation

The strap drop adjusts from 18.7 to 20.5 inches, a change of only 1.8 inches. It moves through holes in the leather and stays attached to the bag. You can wear it on the shoulder or across the body, but you cannot unclip it to add a longer strap or convert the bag into a clutch.

Torso length, clothing and your preferred bag position all affect the fit. There is no useful height cutoff: two people of similar height can want the bag to sit at different points. Try the longest setting over your winter coat if you expect to wear it year-round, then sit down and reach for the zipper.

A light load helps preserve the benefit of the 385 g empty weight. Carrying a power bank, thick wallet and heavy keys together adds pressure to the same leather strap, so assess comfort with those items inside. The simple rectangular shape works across wardrobes; the strap’s fit on your body matters more than whether a seller labels it a men’s or women’s bag.

Why it can tip or flip

Some owners find that the bag rotates around its side strap attachments when they lift it or move it off the shoulder. Keep the zipper closed before picking it up, and support the body when setting it down. During a try-on, lift the loaded bag by the strap and move between standing and sitting to see whether that movement bothers you.

The front pocket has no closure, so a phone can slide out if the bag tips, even when it fits comfortably while upright. Its grip also changes with the phone case and the contents behind it. For walking in a crowd or taking the bag on and off, put your phone inside the zipped compartment.

Cap-Vert Retail Price and Buying in September 2026

In the United States, the Cap-Vert Initials and Stripes and Initials versions each start at US$2,670 as of September 2026. That amount applies to personalized versions. Goyard does not display a public US price for the plain Cap-Vert PM or Evergreen 2026, so request a quote for either of those bags.

The starting amounts appear on Goyard’s Initials and Stripes and Initials pages. Ask for the total for your chosen artwork, delivery destination and taxes before paying. For a purchase in another country, obtain a local quote; converting the US personalized price will not give you the plain bag’s local retail price.

Boutiques, remote orders and online personalization

Use Goyard’s store locator or the contact form on its Cap-Vert PM page to ask for your color, price and purchase options. Goyard also has a Distant Sales inquiry route for remote purchases. Confirm that the store can supply and deliver the exact version before arranging a trip or payment.

The Stripes and Initials Cap-Vert appears in Goyard’s US Available Online catalog. Purchase options vary by country and configuration, so confirm whether your order can be completed online or needs assistance from Goyard. A displayed color or personalization preview alone does not confirm an order. Goyard’s February 2024 general terms describe the personalization configurator as a simulation for a boutique purchase, which is another reason to confirm the order route before relying on the online preview.

Personalization timing and returns

Goyard gives an estimated two to four weeks for personalized orders, with some complex designs taking up to six weeks, and states that personalized orders cannot be returned. Try the size and strap before choosing painted initials. For eligible non-personalized online purchases, Goyard lists a 30-day return window from receipt; confirm the terms for your country and sales channel when ordering.

Cap-Vert vs Belvédère PM, Petit Flot, Plumet and Other Crossbodies

The Belvédère PM is the closest Goyard comparison if you still want a compact crossbody but need more pockets or a removable strap. The Petit Flot PM adds much more depth for bulky objects. The Plumet goes in the other direction, reducing the bag to a nearly flat carrier for cards, cash and a phone.

Cap-Vert or Belvédère PM?

The Belvédère PM measures 22 × 7 × 16 cm and weighs 380 g. Its extra 3 cm of height comes with two front inside pockets, a rear inside flat pocket and an exterior flat pocket. Those separate small belongings, while its removable strap allows more flexibility than the Cap-Vert’s fixed strap.

For frequent access, the Cap-Vert’s top zip has fewer opening steps than the Belvédère’s flap, tab and loop. Try both closures several times with your phone inside. The Cap-Vert is the better match when simple access matters most; the Belvédère is worth the extra handling when you use the pockets and removable strap.

More depth with Petit Flot, less bulk with Plumet

The Petit Flot PM measures 17 × 14.5 × 23 cm and weighs 260 g. Its deeper, taller bucket body gives irregular objects more room, and its strap can be set in three configurations. You give up the Cap-Vert’s full zip closure, so consider how much you value keeping the opening covered.

The Plumet measures 20.5 × 2.5 × 14 cm and weighs 148 g. A zipped change pocket, two card pockets and two compartments make it useful when you want to leave a separate wallet at home. Its shallow body is a poor substitute for the Cap-Vert if a sunglasses case or bulky key set is part of your daily load.

Louis Vuitton Mini Soft Trunk and Gucci Ophidia

The Louis Vuitton Mini Soft Trunk M44735 has an exterior zip pocket, which addresses the Cap-Vert front pocket’s lack of closure. At 18.5 × 8 × 13 cm, it is deeper but narrower, so long items need their own fit check. Its adjustable strap remains attached, making it unsuitable if strap swapping is the reason you are looking elsewhere.

The Gucci Ophidia small shoulder bag, style 735132 FABLE 9442, measures about 24.9 × 6.1 × 15.5 cm and weighs approximately 499 g. Gucci lists space for an iPhone Pro Max or Plus, AirPods, a long wallet and lipstick. It offers a chain top handle as well as an adjustable canvas shoulder strap. The larger body is useful if a long wallet is essential, although you carry more bag even on lightly packed days.

Care and Preowned Cap-Vert Inspection

On a preowned Cap-Vert, examine the fixed strap and zipper closely because both are central to using the bag. Ask for photographs with the bag empty as well as lightly filled: stuffing can hide a compressed top, bowed front pocket or distorted side panel.

• Corners and base: Look at all four lower corners and the full base for rubbed canvas, worn chevrons and scuffed edges. Include the back panel, where the bag rests against clothing.
• Zipper and leather panels: Request a video of the zip opening and closing. Inspect the teeth, tape, pull, ends and surrounding leather for separation, cracking or damage.
• Strap and anchors: Check the full strap, edge coating, adjustment holes and both side attachments. Ask about added holes, shortening or repairs, which can change the usable drop.
• Front pocket and top shape: Look for a stretched pocket edge, bowing and persistent collapse at the top. Test the pocket with your phone if you plan to use it there.
• Lining and inside pocket: Ask for clear interior photos and disclosure of stains, residue and odors. Standard bags have yellow lining; the Evergreen 2026 edition has black lining.
• Measurements and seller terms: Obtain strap drop at both settings, the bag’s exterior measurements, a list of included packaging and paperwork, repair history, and the return deadline.

The fixed strap deserves particular attention if its edges or anchors are damaged, because replacing it is not a simple strap swap. Ask Goyard about service options before buying a bag that needs work. Include delivery, taxes, import charges and potential return shipping when comparing sellers, and get any final-sale restriction in writing.

Cleaning and storage

Use a soft lint-free cloth with light wiping, and dab away water promptly with an absorbent cloth. Goyard advises avoiding rough surfaces, water, oils, makeup, perfume, prolonged light, heat and dampness. Repeated scrubbing can damage the chevrons or leather; household cleaners, solvents and machine washing are unsuitable.

Store the bag in its dust cover with tissue paper inside to support the shape, away from heat and moisture. Avoid plastic storage. For deep cleaning or reconditioning, contact Goyard rather than experimenting with sprays, coatings or leather treatments.

When the Cap-Vert PM Makes Sense

The Cap-Vert works well for errands, dinner and travel days when you carry a phone, compact wallet and small essentials. Its main compartment closes securely, and you can reach your belongings without undoing a flap. Buy it once the loaded bag sits comfortably at your preferred height and the items you reach for most clear the opening easily.

A long wallet, bottle or umbrella makes a roomier bag easier to live with. If the strap already feels short in light clothing, the small adjustment range leaves little help for winter. Those are reasons to compare another shape before choosing a color or paying for personalization.
