Krzysztof Piątek surprised his fans and showed off his class. He chose a luxurious handbag from a French brand.

Krzysztof Piątek arrived at the Polish national team training camp in style. However, it wasn't just the player himself who caused a stir, but also the accessory he chose. The athlete arrived with a luxurious bag from the brand, one that even Coco Chanel has worn.

This was no ordinary bag. Piątek carried the Cap Vert Bag on his shoulder – a small but incredibly distinctive bag from the Goyard workshop. The brand was founded in 1853 in Paris and from the outset, catered to the aristocracy and the cosmopolitan elite of travelers. Its trademark was a hand-painted herringbone pattern, reminiscent of a wicker weave – a symbol of artisan tradition and Parisian elegance.

Unlike other fashion houses, Goyard doesn't invest in high-profile advertising campaigns or seek popularity on social media. Instead, it cultivates an image of discreet luxury, accessible only to the initiated. Products are available exclusively in select boutiques, making them even more desirable.

The Cap Vert model , chosen by Piątek, is lightweight, practical, and instantly recognizable thanks to its vibrant colors and iconic pattern. The orange version is a bold choice—perfect for the transition from summer to fall. Prices start at $2,200, or approximately 8,000 złoty.

Over the years, Goyard has gained a loyal following among artists, designers, and pop culture icons. Coco Chanel owned her own travel suitcase with a distinctive herringbone motif, and Karl Lagerfeld was always accompanied by a set of Goyard trunks, which accompanied him on almost every trip. Today, Goyard products can be found on the shoulders of Hollywood stars and on the streets of Milan.

Personalization is a crucial element of the brand's philosophy. Customers can order hand-painted initials, coats of arms, or graphic motifs, making each bag one-of-a-kind. It's not just an accessory, but a hallmark of its owner.

- Autumn is coming, orange is back in fashion! 🍁 Pio, Pio, welcome to the national team training camp 🤝 – commented with a wink on the TVP Sport profile on X.

While editors treated Piątek's purchase as a fashion statement, fans weren't so understanding. A flurry of comments appeared under the video, ranging from ironic to sarcastic.

"You can have millions in your bank account, but you can't buy class and elegance," wrote one internet user. Another added: "They didn't have men's fanny packs... what a disaster."

Although most of the comments were bordering on mockery, there were also voices that Piątek was simply keeping up with the times and bringing to Poland what has been an everyday occurrence in Milan or Paris for years – men with designer bags.

Was Piątek trying to provoke? It's hard to say. One thing is certain – the footballer is well aware that these days, a uniform can send a message as powerful as a goal scored on the pitch.
