So I've been thinking about getting a tote/bigger Chanel bag for work and travel; I went to my NM and got the black caviar GST (SH) thinking it will last me for a long long time. While the SA ringing up my credit card I saw this Accordion tote and totally fell in love... couldnt get it out of my mind...
Pros
GST: less expensive, vrey durable, well structured, fits a lot yet organized since it's squre and stiff, a timeless, classic piece
Accordion tote: less heavy (feels so), stylish, lambskin feels like heaven, very roomy, more casual look
Cons
Gst: a bit heavy especially stuffed; losing shape upon using; more conservative look than chic,
Accordion tote: $600 more; might look out-of-season pretty soon; the material ages and scratches easily; need to be more careful while using it (which i am not a super careful user) and since it's a soft tote all stuff in it will jam together.
So, tell me what you think! Which one do you like better, and why? Which one should I keep, should I go exchange or stay with my gst? Many many thanks.
