Mama of three young children and finally decided a backpack would probably be the most practical for me .. having a hard time justifying the insane Chanel prices but honestly I can’t find a backpack that I can dress up and down like a Chanel backpack. I initially loved the urban spirit for its classy look and caviar leather in the current season. Starting the think the Gabrielle is kind of a nice option for its versatility as a crossbody and hand held, though I prefer the look of the urban spirit. Ive also been reading that the Gabrielle does not age well as the leather /pu straps starts to wear from the chain rubbing and the base getting easily scratched. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.
