• Why You’ll Love It

The CHANEL Grand Shopping Tote — the legendary GST — is one of those discontinued bags CHANEL probably should have never stopped making.

It has everything people want from an everyday CHANEL: durable diamond-quilted caviar leather, the enormous stitched CC across the front, leather-woven chain straps, a substantial rear pocket and enough interior space to actually function as a true luxury tote.

The black caviar and silver-hardware combination is especially timeless. It gives you all of the unmistakable CHANEL details without making the bag difficult to wear, and caviar is exactly the leather you want on a bag designed to be carried regularly.

Inside, the center zip compartment divides the bag into roomy sections with additional pockets for organization. The leather shoulder pads make the chain straps more comfortable, while the structured rectangular silhouette gives the GST its instantly recognizable profile.

And because CHANEL discontinued the GST, exceptional examples aren’t sitting in boutiques waiting to be replaced. Condition is becoming increasingly important — and this one is exceptionally clean.

• Excellent Pre-Owned Condition

This bag is in Excellent Pre-Owned Condition with only normal signs of careful carry and no significant flaws worth noting.

The black caviar leather remains rich, clean and beautifully textured with crisp diamond quilting and excellent overall structure.

Most importantly for a pre-owned GST, the corners and edges are exceptionally clean. There is no significant rubbing, worn-through leather, major scuffing or damage. The base and side panels are also beautifully preserved.

The oversized stitched CC remains full and beautifully defined. The rear quilted pocket presents extremely well, and the leather shoulder pads and leather woven throughout the chains remain in excellent condition.

The silver-tone hardware presents beautifully with normal evidence of careful handling, and the interior remains clean and well maintained.

Overall, this is an exceptionally attractive example that simply shows the normal signs of carry expected from a carefully used CHANEL bag.

• Collector & Reseller Notes:

The Grand Shopping Tote, universally known as the GST, is one of CHANEL’s most recognizable discontinued tote designs and continues to have a strong secondary-market following.

The oversized stitched CC, diamond quilting, substantial chain-and-leather shoulder straps, rear quilted pocket and divided interior make the silhouette immediately recognizable.

Black caviar with silver hardware is one of the most classic GST combinations, and clean examples are increasingly important because many GSTs on the secondary market show considerably more corner wear, softened structure and strap wear.

High-end dealer pricing demonstrates just how large that condition premium can become. A pristine black caviar/silver GST is currently positioned at approximately $6,053, while another example carried a $6,015 list-price anchor. Even significantly more worn examples are currently being offered on Poshmark above $5,000 — including approximately $5,080 and $5,490 examples.
