I think you made the right choice.
It is ofcourse personal preference, but to me the mini is too east west if you know what i mean.
I hope you'll enjoy her and do share your future experiences😊
 
Thank you ladies for all of your input. Because of your pics and advice, I did not and could not pull the trigger. I don't want to spend so much money on a bag that I had reservations to begin with. I originally posted here because I had some qualms about the GHW that my SA was holding for me since I prefer SHW for my more casual lifestyle. I want a tote that can transition from work to weekends. Like PP, I do not like the feel of the Prada saffiano leather. It's too stiff to my liking (granted it's beautiful, just not my preference). I already have LV neverfull and marylebone so I wanted a more sophisticated tote, hence Chanel GST or Cerf. I learned so much about Cerfs from all of your posts and pictures, thank you, thank you, thank you! I will hold out for SHW, at least for now. (I am also on wait list for blk GST SHW, they are all sold out, at least boutiques near me!)

I'm so glad that I could help someone else! I feel in Chanel, that we don't always hear the full story or the correct story, they often 'spin the truth' to their advantage in an attempt to make you purchase (I work in luxury fashion and have seen this sales tactic before but I don't use it).

I loved my GST, definitely one of my favourite classic Chanel's! All the very best and I look forward to seeing a reveal when you find your new bag! :p
 
Does everyone prefer the original to the seasonal leather?


I just bought the A15206 model (blk w/ GHW, 30cm) which I believe is the original style & leather and I like it much better than the seasonal leather - I find that the seasonal leather is just too grainy for that style of bag - the original leather makes it look "cleaner" and smoother for that structured look and it does not hurt that it is cheaper too :p
