Thank you for your response! Which insert do you use or would you recommend?

Of course! I bought the light lavender M1 Gabrielle insert from Samorga. I used leolionlv as the code for 10% off. It helps to structure the bag, and most importantly keep everything organized. Otherwise all my stuff was moving around in the bag and making it a more timely experience to dig whatever I needed out. Now I know where everything: key holder, wallet, phone, etc. is without looking.

one more question! Do you find it takes up a lot of room in the bag or not very much?

“A lot” can mean different things to different people. To me it does take up some room, but I am okay with that because I can have my things very well organized, which makes it much easier to grab what I need quickly. I think you might have to try it out for yourself to get a better idea if it is something you will use and like. I like mine and will continue using it in my Gabrielle hobo, but it is certainly not necessary.

I have attached a pic below to see if that helps answer your question. :)

Thank you I appreciate the feedback and your honesty! I will have to see how I like it without, I am actually more concerned about keeping the shape as I have heard a few people complain it sort of just slouches over time.

If you have the iridescent I’d recommend trying it without one for a while and seeing how you like it. The other models with distressed glazed calfskin as the body seem to slouch quite a bit more. If I get that model, I will definitely keep an insert in to help keep the shape of the bag. Enjoy your Gabrielle! [emoji1303]

I stayed in the store for quite some time considering if I should get this :doh: I believe it's a very difficult choice for you too. Here's another photo of me trying on. I don't think metallic is my kind of color? :confused1:

Omg I really love this color! It looks great on you too! I saw this color combo a few days before on Instagram but too bad I already have a full metallic on the way to me

Hope you ladies can help me with a question I have.

I adore the gabrielle, it is zipper and crossbody - so really right up my alley.

I prefer size is the smallest size as I only carry small bags only and the smallest does fit all my essential. Unfortunately it looks a bit out of porpotion for me, I am 5'2 and size US8, so yeah it doesn't look as good on me.

The medium does look more porpotionate and I guess it be nice to have a bigger bag to fit some of my boys items when we go out but I am just worried I won't reach for it as much.

Now shld I just stick to the size I know works for me but looks quite bad? ( I am considering getting some stopper for the chain and just have it one long chain like a normal sling bag which I think will look better ) or just give up and believe the Gabrielle is not for me? Something that I have been excited about. Btw I wanted the all black which the SA said it might look even smaller on me ( I tried the silver which have a pop of color so it does add a dimension on to it)
