The ❤Gabrielle❤ Bag: It's a HIT!!

This is just the thread I was looking for! I've ordered the medium denim version that's posted earlier in this thread, but I believe I saw the mini version not with a black or navy bottom (can't really tell with the colors on the pic), but in brown. Is my memory failing me? And alos, what do you Ladies think about the multi-colored versions? The 'used' leather look doesn't really speak to me, plus I own too many black bags anyway, so do you think it's wise to not buy the classic version of this bag, but jump right into a seasonal bag? You're advice is greatly appreciated! TIA!
Did you mean this multicoloured one?
Or the one Clara Delevingne was wearing on the ads?
 
Hmmm given the price maybe I'll still wait for the plain black [emoji23][emoji23] I also have dark red mini on my list for Act 1 [emoji389][emoji389][emoji389]

Are you getting this dear aki_sato? [emoji6]
Dear @fawnhagh Lol
Dark red mini sounds so delicious!
Reminds me of the ripe raspberry at the end of autumn!

I really like it but I don't know if we are getting it.
If we do, I'd like to try it first and check the tweed. My hubby said the leather will be more durable but my heart doesn't yearn for it :biggrin:
So let's see!

I do love the tweed version too - it gives a different vibe than the leather one, more feminine and elegant in my opinion. But as your husband said the leather version will probably last longer and I think that's the one I'm aiming for......

Please do share the pictures if you get to try the tweed version [emoji7][emoji7]
 
So excited to share my first Gabrielle bag with everyone - it's the black Gabrielle backpack in the new pre-fall (larger) size!!

The four different color chains are in ruthenium, silver, aged gold and shiny gold. It's not too obvious but kind of cool.

Size-wise, it's about an inch higher than the original Gabrielle backpack (and cost about US$400 more). Here's a comparison with my new-medium Boy. The backpack definitely holds more than the Boy but dimensions-wise they are close.

Here is a quickie modelling shot. (I'm 5'5" and US 6) I find it a good size on me. Sorry for the bad lighting.

I really love this bag! As others have said, the aged calf and bag design makes the bag feel much more carefree and I can't wait to start wearing it!

Gorgeous! You didn't happen to take a pic of this size with the smaller size did you? Would love to see that.

Sadly I couldn't pick it up myself as I was out of town when the bag arrived (i had to get a friend to get it from the boutique as my SA could not hold it until my return). Next time I have the chance, I'll take a comparison shot to share.

Love your new Gabrielle backpack @eckw, it is gorgeous. Your mod shots were very helpful and I like that this size is a tad larger than the original. Would you happen to have the style number for this new slightly larger size? I think I might have to track one down... thank you:smile:

Thanks so much! I really love how carefree this bag is! I even took it out in the rain today and wasn't all that bothered! And even though it's the larger size, it's still not very big but it holds so much!! The style code is: A94502 Y61477 94305

I'm not normally a backpack fan, but this one is really nice.
It looks great on you!!
 
I did get these last week, and I think it's a good starter set for basics for traveling or evenings out. I was SO on the anti-Gabrielle campaign, until I realized that this size and function were impossible to find anywhere else! Zipper, crossbody, bigger than a mini, fits all my essentials, comes in great colors, reasonable price, etc. etc. So, alas, I am a convert! The white on white is coming back for fall, and the purple will be iridescent with iridescent hardware. There will be some black scattered around. Plenty of tweed, but not sure how those will be received??
