Go with the GST, it's a gorgeous, versatile, practical bag. You can use it everyday and you can fit tons of stuff
Many congrats!!!!
Many congrats!!!!
I think you've just answered your own question. Be happy and don't stress and get the GST. It's a lovely bag, and you can save up from your job income towards getting that jumbo that you so want.
Aust Chanel is way overpriced. Maybe you can get the GST now as a gift, and the Jumbo later when you travel. The Reissue 227 is A$6400 in Sydney, in Europe with VAT refund it is about A$4800.
I feel you!Hello folks. Brief background: I was bitten by the high end designer bag bug in 2011, it all started with LV, then Prada followed by balenciaga. Now, chanel is calling my name (lol). I am about to make my first ever Chanel purchase and for the life of me, cannot decide on whether I should get the jumbo or GST. I know I want it in caviar leather. Here are my thoughts:
Jumbo: it's a classic, if I'm only going to own 1 chanel, I think this is it, it looks nicer to me (more lady like, KWIM?) and I can wear it casual or more formal. BUT, I'm not a flap girl, I'm a busy working mom and I do not own a single flap for this reason, although I must admit, I love the way they look. I don't know why I think this way, for those flap girls here, can you help convince me that going in and out of a flap isn't inconvenient?
GST: its convenient bec of the pockets, I can use it more of an everyday bag, I'm used to totes. It can hold more. And call me crazy, if I get this bag, I can rationalize me getting a WOC also bec of the price difference (2 Chanels for the price of 1, lol). But a part of me says, I have so many other totes already! LV neverfull mm and gm, cabas mezzo marylebone gm, prada tote.
Lovely ladies and gents of tPF, please help and enable a fellow tPFr make her first chanel purchase! Thank you all.
