Just a few minutes ago, I couldn’t resist myself and started crawling all over Chanel site again. The classic section have remain unchanged before 2012. It could that I have missed something, but in the classic section they have added a new bag. It’s called the Chanel Biarittz Tote.
Apparently they are available in two sizes, small and large size (similar to PST and GST). The style of the bag is made very chic and a small CC logo is hanging just underneath the right strap. I think that is adorable.
The small Biarittz Tote comes in size: 10.6 x 10.6 x 4.3. Very petite, but a bit too small to do any shopping. The large Biarittz Tote is sized 12.6 x 14.2 x 7.1, much bigger. Unlike the PST and GST, the small and the large size are not similar. The large bag doesn’t have the CC logo attached to the strap, but on the zipper in the center. Two side pockets are included to make sure you have all the roomy space you need. I bet the large bag is more structured from the inside.
The bag is shown only in black, I am curious whether Chanel have made more colors available?

Hi Sassy,
Sooo happy to found this blog, since i adore chanel bag and love to have one. I’m planning to go to germany in june and hopefully i can have my first purchase there. Just wondering is large shopping bag is the same as GST? And how much it cost for both bags in europe?
On the design perspective, the Biarittz tote is not like the GST. It’s not a replacement of the GST, the GST remain a classic that lot of people wants. The GST cost around €1,750 and the Biarittz tote should be around €1,400. Let me know which one you decide to buy.
thanks for your prompt response. I love reading your blog since there were lots of useful info for me to prepare my trip next month…sooo excited!! The more i read your blog the more dilemma im in, since my dream bag is jumbo/ maxi flap bag but my savings is not there yet, then i read about the easy flap bag…is it worth to buy that item or just stick with the GST instead. Need your input on this 🙂
Wait wait, So A.P., you want the jumbo, but the saving is not there yet, so you decide to buy the GST, is that right? But is the GST also your dream bag?
I always wanted a flap bag,but after reading ur blog i found out about GST, love the design as well. Aside from that i don’t want to waste my europe trip and wanted to make a purchase there. Aside from germany, i will make visits to paris and amsterdam too.
I mean, if there;s any possible way you can get your ‘dream bag’, then go for it. I mean you are going to save it anyway if you buy it today or next year. But if it’s not possible, then try out the GST, where are you from btw?
Im from indonesia…yup this time i will go for GST i guess, then make more savings for my dream flap bag next year hopefully
Hi A.P., great to hear that. Keep me informed about your purchase, you might change your mind when you get into the boutique and see all the possibilities!!!
Hi Sassy,
Love your blog. I’m travelling to LA, Vegas & Hawaii in June (from Australia). Any recommendation in which state to buy the Large Shopping Tote in Toile? Do you know the price (including tax please)?
Many thanks,
Poppy
I don’t have the exact price of the Chanel tiole tote. It’s a new classic bag of the Chanel collection. You can read in the comment that someone bought the bag for £1150 (+ VAT). Calculated in USD would be $1,800. But do know that the prices in USD is slightly higher, so I would estimate between $1,800 – $2,000. Let me know when you bought the bag. =D
