Love this video I showed it to a person who wanted to know whether they should purchase this bag or the Chanel boy bag. Your video was soooo informative it really helped her fall in love with the Gabrielle bag.
I been eyeing this bag. I think it's funny how I thought it was ugly when I first saw it, but it's grown on me, and the different metal makes it so unique. Thank u for the best review on this Gabrielle. I like the small size like yours. Tfs!!!!
I just got my small gabby from the 19s collection last week. It was a bit of an impulse/unplanned purchase so I have not unboxed it have been on the fence about keeping it. I’m so happy to search reviews on here and realized you had one! If it’s good enough for Mel, then it’s definitely great enough for me. ☺️ You’re right, it is one that grows on you overtime as it is different than most Chanel bags. I’m really excited about it now.☺️😍 Thank you.
Accidentally stumbled to your video. Instantly Loving it, especially the belt style, would definitely try it with mine. Thank you for the inspiration 😊
I really love your video. Thank you! I had large Gabrielle hobo bag, but after using it for months I decided to sell it, too big for me. But since I really love the bag, I want either medium or small Gabrielle. Finally I bought the small Gabrielle in silver. Love love love the small one. Now I think I also want the medium size for travelling 😁
Seeing as Chanel did push at it being unisex was amazing! Although I feel the Reissue is fairly unisex; as well. Lovely video, Mel! I'm not the biggest fan of the larger sizes, but the mini is so adorable!
Very true the re-issue is definitely a unisex bag too :) Yes it was very cool that Pharrell was used in their campaign! Also I have to agree with you, i think the large is huge, the medium is quite nice but looked a bit bulky on me but yes the small is obviously my fave! Thank you so much for watching! :)
Normally I'm not a huge fan of hobo bags either but this one...i dunno it kinda just grew and grew on me lol Thanks so much for watching though, I really appreciate it! x
Thank you for the thorough review👍👍love the metallic Chanel bags. I think the chains are too irritating, wish it only had 1 chain strap however I’ll try a couple of these ways to wear the chain on mine 👍👍
Your handbag review videos always attract me. I like Gabrielle bag. Their four different metal chain is so unique and simply beautiful. I have small black backpack. It’s my most used Chanel bag🖤❤️💞
Hi, can I check with you will the gold calf skin Gabrielle bags leather peels off after years? As I heard that the gold is not dyed into the leather is surface coating. Really like to get one of this bag. Thanks
Another great video Mel.. I have the bag in the medium silver and it is my favorite Chanel bag. I find my flap bags too cumbersome for daily use. It's my tote bag with an edge... Thanks for the review and different ways to wear it.
Love your videos girl!! It would be very interesting to see a storage video, I am astonished with your whole collection and seeing how you keep everything nice and organized 👍🏼😍❤️
Hi Mel, This is a great video and I loved watching you demonstrate different ways of wearing this bag. This bag is very versatile and compliments every look. Thank you. xoxo Marjan
You have the absolute best reviews on RUclips!!! I look forward to them every time I see them pop up in my subscription feed! Now I think I need this bag…currently stalking fashionphile website, LOL. XOXO
Aww thank you lovely! What a huge compliment! I am so glad my reviews help and there will definitely be more this year. Hehe yes Fashionphile have some great ones..they have that small white tweed/black version I really wanted to! Let me know if you do get one! xo
Loved this video very much. Structured, simple and of course the most creative ways to wear the bag. I got to know more on this bag from the video than my sa shared
Yay so happy to hear you loved it! Yes I do know Chanel has 7 official ways to wear it but I had so much trying too come up with other ways too, thank you so much for watching lovely! :)
Such a nice in depth video...I always appreciate the time you take to provide details. I have a tweed version on my radar in medium. Thanks again for sharing!
My favourite way to wear it is to make it into a sort of top handle. Similar to the way you wore it by twisting the chain until it dangled, except you leave the leather area out instead!
Hi Mel~ this is the video that I made up my mind I confirmed I want it and in same size, and finally I got it~ If I wear it cross body, I find it is slightly shorter (we are same height) if I put the leather part of the chain at the bottom, hence it looks like a "handle" of the bag. Another way I like is, for the most easiest way of double strips on single shoulder, instead of putting all the chains (4 chains) on one shoulder, you can drop one of the chain (either the silver or gold) down at the bag, the drop chain will accessorize the bag, and the whole styling will look more casual. ;)
I bought the medium size and such a hard time deciding as well. But I think the medium is more my style, even though the small is super cute! Love your videos
Hey Mel, I love your videos and I had a question for you. Every time you mention your job I’m always curious what you do and what exactly you wear to work. It would be amazing if you made a video about that. Lots of love.
I asked you about this bag when it first came out..I see you decided you liked it! This was one of your best videos!!!!! I loved that you got creative & showed 12 ways to wear it!!!!!! Awesome Mel xo 🍒
Yes i remember, at the start I wasn't so sure lol Awww what a compliment! So happy you loved the video I had so much fun trying to come up with all the ways! xo
Thank you so much hunnie! I knew it was versatile but I did'nt realise how versatile it was until I starting trying coming up with all the different combos! Thank you I loved the colour too! xx💛
Great review! Is it possible that second D ring would add another Style option? Mmm, especially since you could undo the leather strap version thus allowing for the chains to go through the second D in some way?
Mel you are so cute I just love listening to you explain everything, i was looking at this one I think it was the bigger size in black but it sold out😬have a good week♥️
Does anyone know what the extra D ring is for? I can't imagine it being designed just for charms but really can't wrap my head around it! Thanks for a great video Mel!
Happy New Year Mel!!!! Hope you get better soon, wow never knew there were so many ways to wear this bag haha its beautiful I really liked it since I saw it on the runway, its very classic Chanel
Happy New Year Bel! Thank you I am soooo much better now! Well Chanel did say there was officially 7 ways to wear it but it was really fun trying different combos out to see how many ways you can actually wear it. I am sure there is more! I have to say I really wasn't are about it on the runway lol but just love it now! haha xo
Initially, i just disliked it but after trying the small black one recently, just fell in luv instantly. Though i didnt get it, is on my radar nw. Hope to get it when new stk arrives 🖤🖤
Finally someone make a full review video about the small size! I really consider this bag. But still doubting myself with lady dior/squaremini/diorama 🙈🙈🙈 i wish i can have it all 😂😂😂
Hello Mel! Happy New Year to you! 💕✨ your mini review and showcase of Gabrielle hobo is spot on! I was contemplating it and now I am so existed to consider the small over the medium size. 🤣 it does look cool yet elegant in some way, and I love ur take on the clutch with chain wrist, it’s actually dinner appropriate 👌 the cool one is actually the twist chain deco crossbody 😍 I can’t wait to get one soon! Would u consider another? 🤣
Hi Mel, I was wondering how your chanel metallic bag help up. Does it cracked or piled off. I know chanel bag is different material metallic. I want to get a balenciaga silver metallic bag. However I don’t know how does metallic bag last and care for? Should I risk to buy the bag?
Thank you so much lovely! Yay glad you enjoyed those little tidbits of info, I always find Chanel's history so interesting! :) Thank you so much for watching! xo
I have one in black and love love it so much 😍. I adjusted the strap so the ending won’t stick out and it is perfect. You can adjust the strap, it a little bit difficult to adjust but it is doable and won’t hurt the bag. Just don’t adjust it too often.
Hi Mel, I am rewatching this video as I am now considering to trade my medium for a small Gabrielle. I am slightly over 5ft and thinking that perhaps the medium is slightly large for my petite frame…only to realise it after 1yr+ of owning the bag (haha!). Thank you for the video. Always love watching your channel ☺
The cross backpack was my favorite version of carrying the bag. As soon as I saw you loading your bag I immediately thought of the Lady Dior bag except the Chanel bag is more flexible with softer angles rendering it more functional for loading and carrying objects. Apparently you agree. It's been a while since I've treated myself to Chanel and since Dacob broke his ban so did I and treated myself to the Chanel small Trendy CC with the dual handle. I didn't venture too far considering the purse is lambskin and it demonstrates many of the Chanel classic features. However, I did make one exception (which is a biggie for me) and overlooked the fact that the handbag was made in Italy. But that's our secret. We won't tell Dacob 😉😂😂. Enjoy your gorgeous addition to your Chanel collection. You made an excellent choice.
Girl you got real creative with all the ways to wear the bag.!
Love this video I showed it to a person who wanted to know whether they should purchase this bag or the Chanel boy bag. Your video was soooo informative it really helped her fall in love with the Gabrielle bag.

Thank u soooo much for this video I have this bag in Large and I didn't really know how to wear it besides the classic way. Thank u
Love the backpack style idea
I add a brooch thru the CC logo keychain on the dangling zipper pull! It just makes it more prettty
Love ways to wear it like V, but especially Belt and triple V. It's a bargain for both bag and belt in one🤩
Mel, hubby just bought this and will arrive on September. Can't wait. thank u for teaching all the ways to do it.
My absolute pleasure! It's so versatile and fun to play around with x
So well done, you answered every conceivable question. Love the bag. Thanks for such a thorough review.

Thank you so much Jade! It was such a fun video to film! xx
Excellent review as usual babe! I have been thinking about it in black but your gold is making me wonder if I should go with a pop of color instead! 😊

You’re seriously creative with the chains! Love the ideas and yes! I’m checking it out this weekend! 😊
I really want to invest in this. Seems so versatile and fit a lot of lifestyles
Love love love this bag! All of the ways you styled it were great!
My favourite way to wear it is to make it into a sort of top handle. Similar to the way you wore it by twisting the chain until it dangled, except you leave the leather area out instead!

Hi Mel, can I know how’s the bag holding up? Any peeling or discolouration so far? Thanks!
Hello! its 2022. thank you so much for this video. ❤
I bought the medium size and such a hard time deciding as well. But I think the medium is more my style, even though the small is super cute! Love your videos
Love this bag. So much fun to play with the chains 😀. I have the same size in black. You can make it into a short top handle as well. Great choice!
Superb review! very informative. Whats your thought on medium size?
So versatile and fun to wear it so many ways
Hi Mel, am new to your channel and I enjoy your genuine videos. Please keep up!
