This is the older model GST. Over the years, Chanel has made some slight modifications to their models. For this GST model, the previous generation models are still more highly coveted today - for some well-founded reasons - the bag is slightly larger, the hardware is larger and "chunkier," there is much more structure to the bag (hard bottom panel), wider, more chain, and there are four protective golden feet. Also, the center zipper compartment is the "main" compartment and has two side slit exterior pockets, instead of an open main compartment with a center smaller zipper area. This allows for more items to be secured in the main compartment while outside stash pockets can hold keys, phone, etc. The current model of the GST do not have these attributes.
The exterior is in excellent condition, with no major signs of wear other than small rubbing on the tip of a few corners. The interior, lined in black canvas, shows little signs of wear as well. Caviar leather is still a deep rich Beige Caviar calfskin that contrasts nicely with the 18k Gold Plated hardware.
This item is in very good condition with very few signs of normal use. Corners are clean with only very tiny signs of rubbing at the very tip. Gold hardware is a deep, yellow gold hardware and shiny. Note: Chanel no longer uses 18k gold to plate their golden hardware as they did with this model. Interior shows some marks, but overall clean. Please see photos for details.
