hi all, i'm looking for a spacious tote but i don't have the GST yet. i have a petit shopper but it can't hold all that i need with my kids. i have the medallion tote but i can't get into it easily and it's more of just basics fit.

i heard the gst can get heavy so is there an alternative tote to the GST or should i invest in one?

what GST colors are usually available? i prefer lambskin b/c i find it lighter to hold than caviar. what's the price difference?

thanks.

Maybe you will like the large Cotton Club tote?
I don't think it's as heavy as the GST.

There are some nice pictures of the CC totes in the reference library.

GST does not come in lambskin, I believe.

I personally think the Diamond stitch tote is veryyy cute! but it has a zipper on top, so it's not very easy-access either per se. An alternative to the cotton club tote is the cambon tote.

Hi. :smile: I've also heard from a few women here that the GST can get heavy... but I'm sure that depends on the person, and what you put inside. I've seen the GST in black w/ gold or silver hardware (the silver is coming out for fall), beige with gold, white with silver, brown with silver (not available now; there was a distressed brown calfskin available last fall I believe, but I'm not sure if you can track that down now). :smile: A bordeaux color (caviar leather) with silver hardware is also coming out for fall.

I love the Cotton Club tote - I have one in bronze, and find that's it's lightweight (especially for a substantial tote), and fits plenty. It has a zippered top, but I think that it's easy enough to get in and out of. Here's a pic I took a while back of mine:

If you like an unstructured tote (however, it doesn't have a zippered top), there is always the Cabas. The Khaki (my personal favorite) is coming back for fall, but black is great too, dark silver, etc. Here is a pic of my Khaki Cabas and Bronze CC tote :smile::

If you like lambskin best, I personally adore the Vintage Ligne tote... you can find pictures in the Reference Library, and I have this in dark chocolate. It's so light, has a zipper, and is just gorgeous IMO:

I don't think you can find this color any longer, but this tote also came in a lighter caramel brown, black, and grey.

Sorry for writing a Chanel tote novel haha... I hope I helped a little though... good luck finding a tote!! :smile:
