As someone who has owned for quite a few years now, I always like to say that the Gabrielle bag is alive and breathing, just because it is changing and adapting so much depending on the way you personally wear it 😅💚
I’ve had this bag for years and never really could figure out how to wear it. I just cleaned out my closet and found it and your video helped so much with wrapping the chain around for cross body. Thank you!
Nailed it within the first minute of this video! Loved your thoughtful intro-it was what kept me watching. Thanks for providing your insights instead of just pithy regurgitations of specifications, what fits inside, etc. A really great review. xoxo Diana
So insightful! As a man I was hesitant to add this one to my collection but I feel when styled it could be either masculine or feminine - I think you've convinced me to pull the trigger!
Thank you for this video!! I’m thinking about getting one myself specially that they’re discontinuing it…I do like the new 2020 medium sizing but I can’t justify the boutique price 😅
Wow thank you so much for a detailed review! I want to get this bag but I’ve seen a video and the leather peeled from the straps! Do u have that problem? Do you wear this bag often?
I haven’t worn this as much during the summer (too heavy style-wise/I wear mine in the cooler months to balance with bulkier sweaters and coats). However, I wore mine a lot last fall/winter and just pulled it back out a week ago (looking at it right now actually) and the larger leather part of the strap shows some wrinkling from use/looks aged like the calfskin part of the bag, but it’s not peeling (and the leather woven through the chain looks the same as the day I bought it). No issues with mine 👍🏼
I have a Gabrielle in this size, and yes the leather in the chains of my bag peeled quite badly. I had to get them completely replaced. But I still love those bag especially more so now that it’s apparently discontinued?
Since Chanel changed the naming structure/sizes on this style, I’d look at the serial number to determine how old a piece is, as that’ll be more accurate. The first 2 digits of the serial number can give you an indication of the year it was produced.

Alive and breathing - I like it!

😅 I hear ya! If you can find one pre-loved (in good condition), it’s definitely worth it. Good luck 🍀
Just subscribed. Thanks for the video

Have you had issues with straps peeling?
I have not / no issues with the straps on mine 👍🏼✨
Beautiful ❤
Thank you ❤️✨
If a medium has 4 vertical diamonds how old is it ?
