I've been contemplating added a GST to my collection. I used to have a PTT, but I kind of remember it being heavy? Or maybe not, but I can't recall the exact reason I sold years ago.... Pros and cons of the GST would be greatly appreciated! THX

I like my GST, but it is heavy. . . and I find it impractical for work because of that and that it just isn't as comfortable to carry as I would like. I ended up getting a Cerf tote and love it - works better for an everyday bag. YMMV.

Has anyone ever put a purse insert inside their GST on both sides? I’ve had mine for 10 years and need some support for the corners. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Hi! I have several GSTs, and mine sag slightly as well. Mine sags mostly in the back of the bag, and I think I finally figured out why! It's because I put a lot of "heavy" stuff in the inside back zipper pocket such as my keys and 3 lipsticks. Stick you fist down in that back inside zipper and you can see what I mean). The front of my GST looks fine, no sag. I think it's because i never use that inside front little pocket.

That said, I do not use a purse insert as I think they look kind of cheap (my opinion). It also takes up space, especially for a GST since it is already divided. I sent two GSTs to have then cleaned and also asked they fix the sag which they did. It looks great and is super straight... almost a bit too straight, but it looks crispy.

Now that I have two GSTs that stand tall and several others than have a slight sag, I actually do not mind a slight sag. I think it gives the bag that "cool used luxury bag vibe". So, as long as my GSTs don't sag too much, I will leave it as is. If they start to get really bad, I will send it in for a cleaning and stiffening.

I think if it really bothers you, send it in to get it fixed. I think bag inserts will take away from the limited space of the outside sections. And if you put in two inserts, you will now squeeze the center zipper section and take away from that open space.

I hope that helps with your question in deciding what to do.
