Goyard Croc Universal Bag Clip Tan

The Goyard Croc Universel is a small magnetic clip that solves a specific problem: it fastens the front and back of Goyard's open-top soft bags, like the Saint Louis and the Anjou, so the bag closes securely and nobody can see inside at a restaurant, on a train, or on a plane. It is one of those quietly practical pieces the house is known for, and it doubles as a charm when it is on the bag.

The name has nothing to do with crocodile. "Croc" is French for hook, and it refers to the original trade of the Goyard family: the tool log drivers used to turn logs into the current on the river. This one is in tan calfskin, with a leather cord hanger, a stamped Goyard signature on the front, and a magnetic closure.

This one is new and comes with its box in good condition. At Konesseur, every Goyard piece is authenticated before listing, and because the house sells through a handful of boutiques and does not advertise, even its small accessories are hard to find second-hand.
