The Chanel GST Tote Is Discontinued… and I’m SO SAD
OMG! So the Chanel GST tote was discontinued! You always want the things you can’t have right??? That’s totally me! A few years ago I was in the Chanel store buying a bag when a woman near me was dressed all in black trying out the Chanel GST (Grand Shopping Tote). I nudged my boyfriend and said ‘that looks amazing on her’. As soon as she was out of sight (didn’t want to appear to be copying obvs). I tried it on myself and whilst I liked it, I wasn’t going to leave the shop with two handbags so I bought the one I had been previously looking at. That Christmas, I was in store and I spotted the GST in a red, a limited edition colour for the season. It was stunning and I wanted it! My boyfriend wrote down the code, had a word with the SA and he was ready to ‘surprise’ me. He ended up not surprising me as there was a death in the family and Christmas didn’t really happen that year. Sometimes it’s just not appropriate to spend four-figures on a bag when there’s tragedy in the air.
Chanel GST In Red
The next time we went in store, the red GST had sold out and the classic colours were all that remained. Once I had seen the red, I didn’t want black any more. I kept popping in to look at the options but I never saw a coloured one I loved as much and then… The worst happened! The GST got discontinued and finding a cute coloured GST was the least of my problems, now I couldn’t even get black. Hell. Even the boring beige had vanished!
On The Hunt
I told myself I didn’t care, I told myself I didn’t need another Chanel bag. I even gave myself a lecture about how the bags I already have are better than this one. I even convinced myself that the GST was impractical because it’s heavy to carry. But quite frankly… The heart wants what it wants and I’m still gutted I don’t have the Chanel GST. It’s a beautiful handbag, it’s roomy and stylish with a cool retro vibe. I haven’t set myself any New Years Resolutions, but I have told myself this: this year, my friends, I’m going to get one! Wish me luck! Also, if you are looking to buy a preloved Chanel bag, then please do read this post! It’s got loads of great tips in it!

Good luck!! I had a similar experience with a LE pair of rainbow tortoiseshell sunglasses from Chanel. I saw an ad for them but didn’t think I would ever see a pair in real life. I used them a template while searching for others but never found the right ones. Six months later, I went on the hunt for them, found out they had one left in stock (in Hawaii) but two days later my dog was attacked so I put the glasses on the back burner. Three months later I couldn’t stop thinking about them…went on the hunt again, the SA at my local Chanel boutique went above and beyond…the system said one in stock but didn’t say where, he went on a massive hunt, followed an instinct and found one tucked away in the store, itself! I’ve never gone faster to a store…ever…
It will happen…if you believe in it..it will happen and the wait/hunt will be worth it 🙂 🙂 🙂
It’s a tough feeling isn’t it? I hope you are well and thank you for stopping by!! xxxx
