This it the regular/medium size. It's quite heavy due to it being all leather, but it's okay. I can wear it cross body with my casual outfit, yet I can make it formal if I held it in hand. She's roomy so I'm planning to use it more as a travelling bag.

Very similar to the difference in the Retourne and Sellier Kellys. The Gabrielle is very structured, rigid, ladylike. The Gaby is relaxed and more boho. It depends on your needs/lifestyle, but for me the Gaby is the keeper if I had only one. Also the Gaby holds a little bit more due to the side snaps (which come open rather easily, just like on every bag I have ever had with snaps).
Thanks for the feedback! Your bag is definitely gorgeous!!
I was at first leaning towards the Gabrielle, but at now thinking the Gaby might fit better for my lifestyle. I at first thought it was not as eye-catching as the Gabrielle, but like you said it’s similar to the difference in Kellys—and while the Sellier Kelly’s are certainly breathtaking and gorgeous, the Retourne feels like it blends more with my style.
At this point I guess it’s a waiting game for the mini Gaby arrivals! I wonder if they will ever make an in-between-size Gaby (not quite as large as the “regular” size and not quite as mini as—well—the mini.
I didn’t realize the Gaby has side snaps! There are so few photos available of the bag!
Hi,
I have a petite rejane and I have borrowed my mom's mini rejane many times; I don't have the CC mini gabrielle. While I absolutely adore the size of the mini rejane, it holds just the bare essentials: keys, credit card holder, lipstick and that's about it. And b/c of it's diminutive sz, it's also harder to get things in and out of. The petite rejane is a lot roomier and can fit an iPhone X, small wallet, a few cosmetics & keys; it also has a larger opening and makes for easier access to what's inside. One last thought: the taurillon leather of the Moynat bags are practically indestructible and pretty much water resistant; don't know about the leather of the Chanel gabrielle leather; perhaps someone else who has one can chime in? HTH!
Curtis from the boutique in NYC texted to me some photos of some of the bags they have in their store. My regular SA, Annishia, was off that day. I love how the coworkers work as a team to create the most pleasant experience for customers. I thought I’d share. Please contact Curtis if you see anything you like and have more questions- he’s s sweetie!I love the look of your Gabby! Could you tell me a rough estimate of its size? I’m looking at the Hermes Bolide, choking at its pricetag, and wondering if this fits the bill.
Thanks for sharing. I'm a bit perplexed by the fringe on the new Quattro. Where does it go when you turn it inside out?
The Gaby is 32cm wide x 13 x 21 high. I don't have a 32 Kelly but it seems like the Gaby is a bit shorter and deeper, for comparison. It also holds more than a Bolide 30, mostly because of the snaps that open and allow the bag to be completely filled.

Good question. I’ll try to get a photo. I’m not into fringe, but it looks great on some people..
Sounds really nice! I’m a stay-at-home mom and I dress casual, most of the time. May I ask the price, too?
Sounds like a great bag for you, (as long as it's big enough). I like big bags so the Gaby (which I do adore) is just a little tight. (Well not really tight but if I acquire anything additional during the day I can't necessarily just stuff it in there.) But I cope, LOL. It's around $4500 USD. IMO Moynat bags are equal in quality to H, and the Gaby leather is really, really wonderful.
Here’s what Curtis just texted. They look like they have the design all figured out. But, does the fringe stick out a bit when turned back out to the outside?Thanks for sharing. I'm a bit perplexed by the fringe on the new Quattro. Where does it go when you turn it inside out?
Gaby is flying off the shelves in NYC. Here are some photos Curtis had available from the last shipment. Hopefully a more will be available soon!
