Chanel around here - rarely. this past winter i did see a woman with a tan GST - but she weny by so quickly i couldn't get a good look. when i use my vintage with the tassel, i think people recognize it is a "name"bag but probably couldn't say what name. my big one (pic) doubt anyone would know what it is. and my new E/W caviar with the new chain - HA - they probably think it is some knock-off LOL. that's what happens when you don't belong to tPF and live over 2 hrs. from the closest Chanel boutique
