I just got back from Paris too, I was there for Valentines,,, I didn't plan on buying a bag at all.. I went to the 31 Rue Cambon store just to maybe pickup a lipstick.. and maybe some earnings.. I had no clue Chanel bags were cheaper in Paris... In talking with the SA and asking if the GST was being discontinued was when I saw the price tag... I was so shocked... I ended up purchasing the GST in Beige GHW.. The money I saved was AWESOME and the experience of receiving that white bag and white box was priceless.... I am returning to Paris in October and hope to buy another bag. The SA informed me that GST production for the United States has been stopped and will only be available in Europe and Asia. How awesome is buying a bag from the original store with the address on the bag and the SAVINGS.. I am still in shock
