I scored a black new medium two days before the price increase and the bag was bland new out of box with the metal plate. I was told that was the only one left in USA. Since so many sold out bags mysteriously appeared a couple of days after the price increase, I'm sure there are new medium ones somewhere. Have to say Chanel customer service is completely useless.
I only saw a small Gabrielle at my local boutique before my purchase. After I saw this video (although I didn't understand a word), I decided on the new medium.
I know it has been a while since you posted this, but thank you so much for posting this video. I have the old medium, with the thought that I already have so many small bags that are cute but don’t fit much. I am petite and I haven’t used it much because it looked a bit bulky on me worn on the shoulder, and it sits a bit too high when worn cross body. From watching the video now I know it looks amazing when worn with the split strap style! Thanks so much.
