Really love this colour. Does anyone know the official colour name?
Just a question on what fits in the Gabrielle bag; I sold my Chanel 227 reissue flaps because I couldn’t fit enough in them.
Am considering purchasing a Gabrielle bag. What size Gabrielle would fit more than a 227 flap? Thanks:biggrin:

I think the Gabrielle hobo in your pic is small size... for your reference I had the Gabrielle hobo in medium which is so roomy and practical, and still a lot of rooms left after I put in my long wallet and foldable umbrella! IMG_1508665685.290765.jpgIMG_1508665694.942825.jpg
 
View attachment 3861802 View attachment 3861803 Can I ask the Gabrielle owners; has anyone had trouble with corner wear or scratching of the base leather (more so than other Chanel bags?)

As demonstrated in the images of this bag listed on fashionphile
:wtf: Can’t imagine what this poor bag went through. I don’t baby my bag at all. I’ve used mine almost daily for the past 6 months, taking it on very crowded train twice a day, putting it on the floor all the time, and even soaked in extremely heavy rain once. Still no visible noticeable scratch at all.

Oh wow, can you share what size/color combo you own? TIA

I just looked up that listing too and even the smooth leather connection piece of where the straps connect to the body of the bag is completely scraped off too.

I'm on the waitlist, but am still worried about the bottom because the boutique ones I saw were super scratched.

I cannot tell much, but I have wore my brand new one today. I was more careful obviously, but it did softly bang on some places. No scratches. However I use colonil on all my bags before I take them out! It does help a lot.I love my Gabrielle!

Stunning, the way you’ve styled it and with one chain wrapped over top. I need to mess with mine and do the same.

I have used my iridescent everyday for almost 2 months now with no scratches or leather peeling. I have no idea what the
person w/the Gabrielle on Fashionphile must’ve done to that poor bag. It looks brutally beaten, as if they dragged it across the floor with pressure.

I do take care when wearing this bag and shield it from walls/corners, but it still bumps from time to time. I have no visible scratches or wear. I did hit the middle bottom at some point, which caused the leather to skip slightly, leaving small ripples of leather as opposed to smoothed out. I was able to flatten the leather out for the most part by buffing with clean fingers in a circular motion. Buffing made the skid marks barely noticeable when looking at it up close.
