Comparing the Saigon Tote With the Original Saigon Bag

When comparing the new Goyard Saigon tote bag with the original Saigon bag, a few key differences emerge. Unlike the original Saigon, which features a single beachwood top handle, the Saigon tote boasts two leather top handles for added convenience and comfort. 

Additionally, while the original Saigon bag is more structured (except the soft mini Saigon), the Saigon tote is less rigid, offering a more relaxed and versatile silhouette. Another obvious distinction is the size: the Saigon tote is larger than the original Saigon bags and does not come with a crossbody strap. 

The Saigon tote offers flexibility in styling options, allowing you to wear it with the gussets tucked in at the sides or expanded. You can also adjust the front flap keeping it tucked inside for a different look or secured normally. Overall, both bags share the essence of Saigon that Goyard fans love.
