Fashion lovers say this popular $2,000 designer purse melts — and is ruining their clothes: ‘I won't get this bag again ever'
This haute tote may be too hot to handle — literally.
Fashionistas near and far claim the straps of these costly designer totes are leaving their clothes stained and bag handles fused together.
'POV: your $2,000 Goyard has officially entered the 'melting' phase of its lifespan and is no longer usable,' wrote NYC influencer Janet Lin, in the closed-caption of a complaint clip.

4 Lin, a NYC-based influencer, virally shared images of the clothing stains she claims were made by her 'melting' Goyard PM tote bag.

The viral vid, with over 2.2 million TikTok views, features a crestfallen Lin walking down Fifth Avenue in a white long-sleeve shirt. She zoomed in on her shoulder, where a navy blue paint blot, allegedly caused by the handles of the Parisian imprint's 'Saint Louis PM' bag, had inked the top.
Representatives for Goyard did not immediately respond to The Post's request for a comment.

The luxe label — a favorite of VIPs such as Kylie Jenner and Hailey Bieber — however, does warn wearers to protect the purse from 'extended exposure to artificial, natural light or intense heat,' per its site.

4 Lin and others alleged that their Goyard totes become 'unusable' once the hand-painted leather begins to deteritorate.

But, thus far in 2025, Big Apple temperatures have yet to exceed 85 degrees, which, by most standards, hardly counts as 'intense heat.'

Lin, who claims to have snagged her 'authentic' Goyard bag nearly two years ago, continued ranting about the gooey carryall in subsequent posts.
'Do not buy a Goyard tote,' she urged in a separate snippet, hoping to 'de-influence' folks from shopping the bougie brand.
'The hand-painted leather started softening, melting and staining my clothes,' groaned Lin, while offering audiences close-up looks at the 'sticky' straps.
4 The outraged content creator shared visuals of the bag's damaged straps.

She then shared a series of screenshots from equally peeved Goyard customers, who've also endured the pain of the bag's stain.
'Same thing happened to me. I was shocked when my real and rather expensive bag melted,' a commenter carped.
'Mine did this the first day I got it [because] I was walking under the hot sun all day and stained my white tank,' said another.

GOYARD TOTE IS MELTING PT 2 Follow-up on my Goyard tote situation… the straps are literally melting and staining my clothes. I paid $2,000 for this. 🫠 my brown classic tote seems totally fine though, the blue one is the only issue At first I thought it was just me but after posting, I got flooded with messages and comments from people saying the same exact thing happened to theirs. So I guess this is a real issue. Next step: I'm taking it to the Goyard store to see what they say. Will they do anything? Who knows. If you own a Goyard tote or you're thinking about getting one… save this and do your research first. #goyard #luxurybagfail #goyardtote ♬ original sound – Janet Lin
'I officially retired [my Goyard] after the handles melted onto my clothes [and] left a literal stain on the seat of my car,' another added.
'Yea pissed me off when the straps started peeling, [the company] said it's normal wear and they're not fixing it,' an outraged ex-client raved.
'Love Goyard, but I won't get this bag again ever.'

New Yorker dresses as ‘washed up scum' Andrew Cuomo in Mermaid Parade
A man dressed as a bizzare depiction of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo showed up to march in the Coney Island Mermaid Parade Saturday — with a special plea for his fellow New Yorkers. 'I'm trying to get reelected on Tuesday and I thought I'd bring my message to the voters,' the man who only called himself 'washed up scum,' sarcastically told The Post. 3 The man dressed as Andrew Cuomo in the Mermaid Parade insisted people call him 'washed up scum.' Samantha Olander The costume was complete with messy green strings to represent algae the former Governor would have encountered as he washed up on the shore, a torn-up dress shirt — and Cuomo's oversized head. On his backside, the man had a sign that read 'don't rank me,' a reference to the Big Apple's ranked choice voting, where electors place up to five mayoral candidates in order of preference. 3 Voters in NYC can rank up to five candidates in order of preference for the mayoral election. Samantha Olander 'I made the state fill up with as much scum as I could when I was governor and I'd like to do that to the city,' the mystery man said, adding it was his first mermaid parade. Cuomo is the frontrunner heading into Tuesday's Democratic mayoral primary, though surging socialist Zohran Mamdani has been making up ground — cutting the ex-lawmaker's lead in half from just a month ago. The Ex-Governor is ahead 55% to 45% against Mamdani in the latest poll released Wednesday. The heated NYC Democratic mayoral primary has lit a fire under Big Apple voters — twice the number of New Yorkers are turning out for early voting compared to four years ago, data from the city Board of Elections shows. 3 Cuomo resigned as New York Governor in disgrace in 2021.

Where to Eat, Drink and Chill in Kauai's Tastiest Beach Town
Before traveling to Hawaii for the first time, I spent hours browsing through Instagram and TikTok foodie posts. Gathering ideas for all the delicious meals I'd eat, I had high expectations for the food in Poipu Beach, located on the south shore of Kauai. As it turns out, this island's food scene impressed me even more than expected. From nicer, more sophisticated spots like Red Salt Restaurant to quick bar bites at Kalapaki Joe's, check out these best Kauai food and drink spots on your next visit. These must-visit restaurants in Kauai won't let you down. I love Indian food and will make a point to grab it during any trip. This tucked-away restaurant, "That Indian Place", has excellent food and will adjust to your spice preferences. I ordered the butter chicken (mild) and the chicken sagwala (mild), along with some garlic naan bread. The local atmosphere and outdoor dining patio really made this place stand out as one of my favorite spots to eat throughout the whole trip. Top menu items Mango LassiButter ChickenChicken Tikka MasalaChicken SagwalaPaneer Tikka Stop by Brennecke's Beach Broiler as you stroll along Poipu Beach for a lively, vibrant atmosphere. Locals and visitors alike know this top spot as one of the best places for food and drink on Kauai. While crowded, you can grab some phenomenal bites here as well as tropical-style frozen cocktails. I loved the desserts here too. If you plan on doing some appetizer or bar hopping along the main strip, definitely make this restaurant/bar a must-visit spot. Top menu items Seafood Pupu PlatterMango MadnessLava Lava FlowPineapple Rum Upside Down Cake If you want to try a Loco Moco, stop by Red Salt Restaurant, attached to the beautiful Ko'a Kea Resort. This spot served the best Loco Moco I had while in Hawaii. A Loco Moco is a Hawaiian favorite comfort food, made with white rice, gravy, a hamburger patty, and topped with a fried egg. It sounds interesting, but trust me once you try it, you'll want to order it time and time again. The ocean views from this restaurant also set the scene for a nice meal. Top menu items Lemon Pineapple PancakesLoco Moco Acai Bowl Unlike other islands with numerous national chains, Kauai offers a more locally inspired dining scene. This laid-back, down-to-earth island provides numerous options for fresh, local seafood, including mahimahi, ahi tuna, and ono. The island also has many traditional Hawaiian plates to try. I highly recommend trying at least one classic Hawaiian dish, such as the Loco Moco, during your visit. You'll also find spam musubi almost everywhere, another classic food in Kauai.
