- Hey everyone! Here's my initial thoughts of this Chanel Gabrielle. I have used it since I got it . I didn't like this bag when it first launched, but the look has really grown on me....
Anyway, in this video, I've took my Chanel Jumbo to do a comparison (because I heard it is quite similar in size), did a "What's In My Bag" and some mod shots for your reference.

Thx for the review Kat! Don’t worry about the fancy poses for Instagram. We love you because of your personality. Have a safe and wonderful trip to Europe!
Stacy Fu thank you! 😘😘😘
Great review, as always! I was the same as you when I first saw this bag - I just didn't get it. It's definitely growing on me!
LalaLovesLV thanks Lala! I can't wait to hear your thoughts on your new boy too! 😘
The best review that I saw... is not love at first sight for me but the more I see it, the love had grow stronger each day.
With your review, it gives me more confidence that I am making the right decision and I just got this lovely bag today
Oh Kat, you are SO addictive, honestly! I love love love your personality, your joy is radiant!! You are like my dream best friend! I just tried on this bag over the weekend and I am not sure about it at all. Might have to go try it again. Lol thank you for your great review and safe travels!! ✈️😘💜
Sun Star hahaha! Thanks babe! This bag grows on you. I was the same when I first tested it, I was like YUCK, but then the more I tried it, it GROWSSSSS ON YOU!
I just saw this bag today in the mini, wallet on the chain size. Wa!! Expensive for the mini size one, but it is growing on me in my mind. I may go back and buy it.
i've not seen the mini size one....if you get it, let me know how it goes!
Went back to the Chanel store yesterday and exchanged the Business Affinity style I had for the small Flap with handle (terrible name!). Took another look at the mini Gabrielle again. It has the hard leather bottom, and in the middle your phone slips right in and on either sides it has credit card holders. It's quite cute. I did see it on thepuseforum under Celebrities wearing Chanel. I passed on it for now because I just bought the Hermes Toolbox 20 (thanks to your & WinnieY's reviews) so I'm on ban island right now, lol.
Great review Kat! Yes this bag requires very few chain adjustments, I agree! I wore my mini and I had it on my shoulder and it was driving me nuts so I can only wear it cross body or deal with the bag slipping non stop.
SnapeHBP thanks Sam! there is just so much chain! Hahaha but it's great!
I love this bag so much! Thanks for the review babe and your brows look great!
FashionablyAMY thanks babe!! 😍😍can't wait to see your new bag!!! 😜😜😜
you have color transfer after awhile of using beige gabby?
Best Gabby review ever!!! I will have this bag one day - its on my ever growing wishlist of CCs. Your eyebrows are awesome!!!
And safe travels!!!
luxurylver SLL thank you!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍
Great review Kat. You mentioned the zipper is silver, but I have the same bag as yours
But the zipper of the bag is light gold. Would you mine reconfirm the zipper color. Thanks Kat.
thanks dear! it is actually rose gold, lol but so light , looks almost silver
thanks dear! it is actually champagne gold, lol but so light , looks almost silver
I just subscribed you are so real and unpretentious. I got the Gabrielle hobo and I absoulety love it. At first I thought it was so ugly but after I looked at it again I had to have it. A wonderful beautiful durable bag. Btw your eyebrows look great.
thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
Very thorough and thoughtful review. I’ve found that hobo bags are not for me but Chanel’s idea of having a double chain worn like that is interesting especially for traveling. I love love your Chanel Deauville for sure. Have a safe trip and I’m looking forward to your London vlogs.
gix2lee thanks dear!
Loved this video as it was a real and down to earth review of how we would use the bag everyday! I got a Gabrielle in the end
Hoorayyyy and congrats!!!
I have the Gabrielle in black and white in small size and I use it daily and because it's small I can use it as a clutch for going out at night. It's perfect
Thanks for the review. Hope you get the most use out of this bag on your trip. Safe travels and Enjoy
rde91969 thank you!!!!
Love this video and so happy your shared your review! Looking forward to hearing how you feel once you use it more!
thank you! will do!
Great review! I’m thinking of getting this bag too.
Handa Wang thanks! Yessssss!
You really love your Gab💖☺️.. Looks so spacious. Glad you are enjoying so much of the bag.
Gigi C. Yup yup!!! I am !
Babe ... this is by far the best review on the Gabby bag. The creasing didn’t bother me because it’s aged calfskin anyway. Glad you like yours .. I love mine and my all time fav so far ...my only gripe is the edges of the base bordering the ages calfskin shows some wear but I live with it 😋
Shirley Tan thank you babe! the bag is awesome!
awesome video. The Chanel Gabrielle is a very common causal Chanel bag. I prefer the Chanel single flap or double flap bag but I tuned into this video just to hear your personal review of this bag. Recently a year ago or less the Chanel hobo 2020 bag came out. Do you own that bag? I would love to see a review on that bag.
Thank Kat for sharing.. love this video, really made my day after a bad day at hospital today. Hope to see more from you as well. XOXO
meijun Lim thanks babe. Hope you are feeling better 😘😘😘
Hi Kat, awesome: you and I have similar taste when it comes to bags and on the plus side you also have the same body structure as me, perfect to see how a bag would look on me!!! 😃
rosa_gilly hehehe! Yes!!!!
You make me want to have this bag (and I am currently on Bag Ban Island). Hahahaha. Great video, Kat!
Darcy De Ramos hahah! Thanks dear! 😈
I love your bag - and your personable approach to the video ❤️
Fab review as always .. btw your eyebrows look good xx
Andri thanks Andri!!! 🤓
I agree, I wouldn't have noticed except that they look so good. And then you mentioned them.
oh Gosh! I love your Trendy CC! so sad! was thinking of it too. 😅😅
Jules T hahaha 😅
I just got the large cc Trendy and so far it’s not super fragile. But I didn’t get it for everyday. It is my love. I adore the look and became obsessed with it when I saw Anine Bing wear it on her Instagram account. I’m Interested in the Gabrielle bag as s true crossbody bc I’m 5’10” and most CHANEL straps aren’t long enough. Great review!
thanks! i loveeee the feel of the lambskin of the trendy! omg, i miss it!!!! but the gabby bag is also amazing!
Such a thorough review. You're so fabulous.
Ruth Anzalone thanks babe!
Thanks for review and have a great trip Kat! 😘
Becky Panda thanks babe!
I wish you had more subscribers. I love you. You’re so funny and I love your style.
MsStephers awwww, thank you! 😍😍😍😍
Have fun in London babe! my hubby is there too! I asked him to help look for coco mini handle but that particular store is out of stock 😭. Gabrielle bag is edgy! love it! saw it when I went for a style event. they have a super mini. sooo cute but Samsung note 8 can't fit in the slot. thank you as always for a great review beautiful! you might find another gorgeous Chanel while in UK 😍😍I'm of no help am I. LOL.
Jules T Hahahah! I am resistinggggg! 😍😍😍😂😂😂😂
I have just subscribed to your channel. Really enjoyed this review and you r really expressive without over the top. U r so funny too! I was also laughing at some expressions u made!
Thank you Connie! I appreciate it! ❤️
Fantastic review! Thank you so much 😊
thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
you're so productive, dear! we know how hard you must have been dealing with your mom's surgery and London trip, and yet you can still regularly update your yt content! Btw, I kinda prefer your old 'casual slouching in the living room' background. :D. feels more homey and genuine :). Not that the current background isnt nice, it's still pretty!
Devi Natalia thank you! 😍😍😍😍
Great review babe, I am totally with you, Gabrielle does grow on you 🤣🤣 I am actually eyeing on Gabrielle back pack, what is your view on her?
Christina Goh oooo! I like the backpack too! Haven't tried it but love the look!
Thank you for the review! Still not decided if I should buy the bag or not, I'm afriad that the leather will peel off easily :(
Oh no!!! Now I want one too.... Loved your review. Enjoy your trip!!! hahaha your insta faces are hillarious!! XOXO
Deise Nishimura thank you!
Have a wonderful trip Kat n pls try to vlog from London 😊
shalini kumar thanks dear, am vlogging!
Completely growing on me! Thank you for a great review
Lena Larsson thanks Lena!
Thank you for the review! Still not decided on buying. I'm scared that The leather will peel off easily :(
I'm glad I found your review! I'm eyeing this exact color combo and the size like the one you have. Very informative and actually realistic review. I also like your personality. :)
It's been a couple months now since you uploaded this video. Is your opinion still stand? Or are you already get bored with it? Is it holding up fine or you'd rather suggest against buying it? I'm a mom and I work full-time so I have lots of stuff to tote around. I don't abuse my bag, but I don't pamper it. I just wonder if it can withstand a normal usage.
Or.... maybe another follow up review? ;)
thank you! and yes, my opinion still stands for this bag! I LOVE IT. I don't get bored of my bags easily. Unless they don't fit into my lifestyle. It's holding up fine. In fact, I'm using it this week :)
Thank you very much! I'll go try it out at the boutique this weekend. Can't wait! :)
How much is this bag cost dear? The small size measurements as well please...
Thank you for this review of the bag - really well done :-) Thumps up!
thank you so much!
Any color transfer on this bag? Thanks
Big agree. The bag is awesome 😍. The chains are so much fun. Small size is so cute. And I love the Black because the chains pop on the black. Can wear it so many ways even short too handle. Amazing, unique and different.
thank you! yes the bag is awesome!
Haii kat ! Love all your videos :)
Recently i bought the same gabrielle but in size small. Can you do a video how do you store this bag ?
Does the leather part of the strap bothers you? It tends to stick out a bit - the ends. Haha.
mintyvintage a little bit but I kinda got used to it 😅
Aww, I just so enjoy watching your video!! And haha it's funny when you talked about your eyebrows, I think you still look very cute even they are a little bit darker lol, and after watch this, I feel I want this bag so badly!!! Not very good for my wallet though 😂
hahahah! it's such an amazing bag!!!!
Hi Kat!, this bag has growing on me....waited for so long till today i am ready to check out the utube. till i bump into your video. do u think its good to get this bag since its launced in 2017. i am petite short 4' 10 only. the mini size cant store much. but the medium size good for storing.
It is a good bag to get if you love the style and you use it! otherwise, if you just keep it, then no - don't :)
Any problems with color transfer?
YES! *CRYYYY * I rubbed it against my black winter jacket and I got AWFUL black stains on it. But i managed to get it out with a super duper leather cleaner!
Yikes! What leather cleaner did you use? I am getting a small beige/black soon so any information is much appreciated.
it's called Collonil (check out my instagram, about 8 rows down from the top. I got a picture of the cleaners and the awful stain it removed!) It's pretty strong so test it on a tiny spot first but OMG, it's amazzinnggggg)
Thanks! I just requested to follow your instagram.
Yessss I’m falling for this bag too girl!!!😆😍😘😘😘Sandy
PreMeYumLife I love it!!!! Kekeke! #badinfluence!
Hello Kat! just wondering if you have experienced any colour transfer on the beige yet? do you use any products to protect it from colour transfer?
yes i did!!!!
At 27:04.. u got me hitting the subscribe button!
issey ooi lol!!! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Does anyone know how tall she is??
I am 165cm (5ft 4
Thanks very detailed review. Question for you - I wear dresses to work so you think it’s easy to style with dresses? Not formal suits but skirt and floral dresses type? Thanks
actually, it will go very well with dresses. I find that it is very versatile and can jazz up a formal outfit yet blend into a casual look too.
am a new subbie.. love your reviews and personality 😍😘😘😘
thank you for subscribing!!!
I'm starting to love this bag, Kat!! =) What is your Gabrielle's size? Is it a medium? Do you still love it?
it's in the medium size. kekeke yes yes I do
Gabrielle hobo for sure. Those bulky Chanel sunglasses are the reason I chose to buy the Gabby lol
Gosh! This gabby bag is growing on me! I am on a bag ban island 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
