No. That's part of the classic ligne. Occasionally it will sell out at some stores because of demand, but it is always in production.
The new washed caviar GST that they're coming out with in Spring will be limited edition. The current "regular" caviar GST they already have out is not limited edition.
I know the silver hardware is seasonal, once in awhile they will release it but the gold one is a staple. That's accdg to the S/A in europe an UK. I dont know if it's true though
When I was ready to get my gst, they only had 1 with s/h. Per the SA they had several w the gh because they had just received more of the gh. As stated, the sh is not a limited edition though.
When I returned my black GST w/silver hardware a few weeks ago, my SA asked if I was sure about returning it because they were no longer making black w/silver hardware. I didn't ask about the other colors.
This thread is really interesting. My SA always told me gold and silver hardware GSTs were classics. The Ala Moana Chanel boutique just happens to be sold out of the GST's with silver hardware because they're popular, not because they're limited edition.
I was looking for a s/h GST too. I went to Chanel at Holt in Vancouver about 2 weeks ago to ask for it. My SA said that it's seasonal and they're sold out now (there's not even one black GST with s/h in available in Canada. urgh!) She said that they might get some in next year. I really hope the price wouldn't shoot up again.
