Thank you. Yes this is the small and I do find it very roomy. It can fit a lot. It can even fit my small umbrella and a small evian bottled water.
Hello, Ladies! I was at the boutique yesterday and saw this beauty! Mini 2.55 white with aged GHW and vertical quilting from 21K. It’s not on the website, so it was an unexpected find.
Initially, I wanted a white Gabrielle backpack (small) or white mini 2.55, so I have mixed feelings about this bag. It’s stunning, and the color is a soft, beautiful cream white. However, I’m not entirely sure about the puffiness (more trendy) and vertical quilting. What’s your opinion? Is it unique and worth it? Could it be the perfect little white bag and stand the test of time or should I stick to my original wish list and wait?

I really like it. I would consider it a "throwback", not trendy. There are gorgeous Vintage bags in Vertical quits. But obviously you have to love it more than the one you had in mind.
Thanks so much for your reply. Great insight! It does have a “throwback” feeling. I’m torn
Been seeing it the last few days on the stocks page and wasn’t sure where or when it got released until now, but definitely loving it. It caught my eye. I was tempted although I bought a bag already this month and still waiting for a reaerve for next month.
I love it…. I think it gives your bag collection variety which is my new current thing. Everyone has a mini it’s not special but when I see this it excites me
It’s very tempting indeed! It’s different and so pretty. May I ask what is the stocks page? I’m looking for more pictures of this bag that depict exact color because my phone pics are not very accurate. Do you think this bag will be posted on the Chanel website soon or some bags are sold exclusively in boutiques?
I actually got a Gabrielle backpack last week, so couldn’t have gotten this plus I have a white pearl crush mini, a white coco handle, and a cream/beige 19 so don’t need another white/cream bag. Otherwise, I would love this if I were to get a white bag. It’s so pretty, and I do get a vintage and modern vibe to it.
The stocks page (well pages) is here in the forum where others post available bags at different boutiques.You definitely have more pics….

when I see a piece like this it definitely makes me wonder what other bags does she have.

I recently got it too (what are the chances haha) — was searching for it high and low and my wonderful CA finally located one. Which one did you get? Mine is small size, black.
It sounds like you have a wonderful collection and a good selection of white/cream bags
All my bags are black, that’s why I’m looking for a perfect white bag to add. I love Gabrielle backpack so much, so I was considering getting it in all white. But I’m not entirely sure if I can find that color, since it was pretty hard to find even black. According to YT review videos, it was last available in 2018-2019.Thanks so much for your input and helping me to decide!

I have a very small collection, but I think it’s pretty versatile in terms of sizes and functionality. My only other two Chanel pieces are medium classic flap in caviar with SHW and a small Gabrielle backpack. The only thing is all my bags are black. It works well with my wardrobe, but I do miss a lighter color bag. My plan is to add a white, beige and perhabs red (or some other color) bag down the road, so I have some versatility in color too. Since I found this white mini 2.55, I thought maybe the time is now haha. I don’t have a mini, and I don’t have white in my collection. The reason I was considering another Gabrielle backpack (white) is because I really like the style & mixed metal chain. I prefer SHW on my bags, but some colors just look better with GHW (like this mini 2.55 21K) — so mixed hardware is a perfect in-between.
Thanks so much for your help!

Thanks! I got the same Gabrielle backpack
black/small. I actually searched for it in 2018 when I was on vacay but didn’t end up getting it since I think it was more expensive buying it in Japan plus was scared of bringing it back home and being charged even more for custom duties on declaration. But yeah, started looking for it again somewhat this year and was on unofficial waitlists at 2 boutiques for a few months. They told me they only get one or two every few months. When I had called customer service, they told me it was not available but if so was currently made only in black and red this year and the large was discontinued.I say yes to the cream mini reissue flap!!! I actually would rather have that as opposed to my white pearl crush mini due to it being more delicate and high maintenance. I would trade, lol.
