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??

In stores now, not sure about the tweeds. I returned the pink b/c it had more of a two-toned look in different light that I didn't like. I am collecting the small ones for travel, as all my boys don't like to be packed (they smush) :smile:

Um...wow and WOW?? I've never even seen that leather pink on pink before! It looks like strawberry milkshake! Do you know anything about upcoming exotics?

I don't, I am not a big exotics person, but I didn't keep the pink b/c to me, it looked like sunburned skin with half of the skin ready to peel? You know how they turn different colors when you peel? As I recall the white on white had the same sort of 2 toned thing going on, which turned me off. As for exotics, my SA did tell me that some great python combos were coming!

The medium is just too large for me. I pretty much carry old medium boys, and the small fits just about as much as an old medium boy. So the decision for me was size?? I wanted bags I could travel with, I have too many everyday bags already. HOWEVER, I think the medium Gabrielle is a great everyday bag size. I know there are issues with the leather drooping, and my SA's have had plenty of returns citing defectiveness over that. But others really like how it slouches away! The small won't do that, so that was a factor for me too :)

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

Congrats on the beautiful bag! I have been searching for the perfect chanel backpack myself. I was wondering if you have any problems keeping the bag closed as it doesn't seem to have something to cinch the top shut.
