I made a few pictures where the crease is clearly visible and must say it does not bother me any more. Yesterday I went to the Chanel boutique to get me a classic flap for my birthday and ended up with Gabrielle. The crease was visible in the shop and I compared this bag to many other classic flaps in beautiful colors, but I did not doubt my choice afterwards. I was very happy to have something different, slouchy and indeed less perfect from what I am used to:smile:

Mine has the same crease.

Hi all! I already have a medium beige / black Gabrielle and was so excited to finally snag a medium black / black. I'm also so happy to see this bag getting so much love as it's quickly become one of my favorite styles - all of your Gabrielle's are beautiful!

I reached out to Zachary from BG and he said all small and medium light purple are on reserve. Hoping that isn't true for the locals.

I was able to score my iridescent medium Gabrielle hobo yesterday at SCP boutique in Costa Mesa. They had the small available too, but it had a very small leather smudge/defect on the bottom of the base. They also had the backpack version, which was stunning with the rainbow hw.

Hi Elaria, don't mind me asking, do you know if BG still have the small gabrielle hobo in full black? I'm going to nyc in about 2 weeks time and I really wanted to get myself a gabrielle. I can't seems to find it anywhere in where I stay and it's been months! :sad:

Hey, I'm not in NY, but I have an SA I use at Bergdorf that answers emails and texts quickly. PM me if you'd like his info. He can definitely check stock of the Gabrielle in small for you. His name is Zachary.

Hi, I have the Gabrielle backpack and I LOVE it! :hbeat: After seeing Pearlicious02's small hobo, I am so tempted to get it too! :girlsigh:

The chains are not heavy at all and the mixed metal is so cool! The aged calfskin holds pretty well - there are some creases due to the drawstring design. The hard base is useful as it keeps the shape of the bag but scuff marks are quite visible if you look close. But it does not bother me that much due to the whole "rugged" look of the bag.

I intentionally made one of the chains longer than the other and DIY some stoppers (using buttons and elastic bands) to prevent the chains from moving when I carry it using one side of the straps. I use the longer chain to carry crossbody and the shorter one for when I want to sling it on one side. Maybe some pictures will help:

One side (shorter chain)

Using both chains on 1 side:

And the "stoppers" I made

OMG, that is PURE GENIUS! :tup: Can you let know how you made the stoppers? I have the backpack too and while I love it a TON, one of my pet peeve with it is that the straps does not stay in place when wearing one shoulder. I love your mod shots!
