All the best with your new GST! I love the style.
I, like you paid $1750 for both of mine.
I was picking up my Classic Flap and saw the GST in white...I asked about the price - then it was $1650. - when I went back to get it - it had increased to $1750! Rats! But I got it anyway.
Then thanks to a celeb pic of someone with the beige GST, I asked my SA if she had one - she said yes and the price would increase at the end of the month. But, they increased it before then...so when I went in to buy it, she started telling me it had increased, etc., etc., I told her I did not think it was fair based on what I was told - so she talked to the manager and I got it for $1750. as well.
I felt very happy with my new bag in tow and saving a few bucks. as I left the store....
Enjoy your bag, it is beautiful - black might be my next one......thanks for the temptation!!!
