Girl, you have been asking this for months. :eek: We've already answered and I have shown you pictures. What more do you need (genuinely asking, I don't mean this hypothetically)? I think the only way you will have your answer is if you buy it and see if it works for you. They have 20% off going on now for Black Friday/Cyber Monday, which makes the Medium insert come out to $28.

I understood you the first time and I realize the question was not posed to you as I was asking specifically about the red color, which you had mentioned you did not receive, but thank you for your response.

USA NM warehouse has black mediums. Raiven, my SA at Bellevue Bravern NM boutique is fulfilling her customer waitlist. I don’t know how many are left, but Raiven got me another immediately (in two days), because I really regretted selling my first one a couple of months ago. Raiven is awesome!

Still a minimalist- one bag in, one bag out. :angel: I’m glad I got the Gabby again. :love: It fits the perfect amount of day trip items, the zipper makes it secure, and I like that I can carry it on both shoulders (“V”)/around waist & on shoulder, on subways/metro or at the wharfs and piers. ;)
...and it fits my iPad mini.:tup:
I’m done... for now.:graucho:

It's interesting that you are not the only person that has sold their Gabrielle and bought it again. So glad to hear you are happy once again with the Gabrielle.

If I may add to the pluses you mention, I think it is modern, avant-garde, and understated. Also, it is still uncommon among the ladies.

Gabrielle has arrived. I am so in love! My only criticism is the cream colored fabric lining. I’m pretty good at getting lipgloss on the lining of my bags. But besides that, tweed!!

Absolutely stunning bag and looks amazing on you! I replied in another thread asking what size this was, but found out it's medium. This is the exact size and color i tried on and i love, love and want it. This Tweed is divine in real life. Congratulations.

Hi @coxswain1,I just got the same bag today :nuts: But now I’m thinking if I should keep it or return it because I’m kinda worried for the tweed part....what is your thoughts/opinion on this bag after using it? Thank you ;)

I’m a bit nervous as well to be honest. I haven’t used it yet either and I’ve been trying to do research on maintaining tweed. I really want to keep it. I figure I’ll pick my favorite side and always carry it so the other side rubs on my body. Loose threads are going to happen no matter what. I did find a 10 year old discussion on TPF where someone recommended Vectra spray.

I’m still nervous. Are you keeping it??

I started to do research right after I bought it but I realized that it is quite difficult to find information/posts for the Chanel tweed bag :sad: This bag is really beautiful & it was love at first sight,I even tried the leather one in green & blue,but I don’t really like the slouchy leather so I end up getting this one.
I will try to return it but I’m not sure how it works with the return policy in Europe so I’m gonna give it a try & hopefully I’ll be able to get my money back :hrmm: What about you??Are you keeping it or you are still thinking about it??

I’m still thinking about it. I have 14 days to ship it back from date of purchase. I really want to keep it, but if I don’t get the nerve to use it soon it will go back.

I love this on you! It looks so special and a standout piece. And you carry it so beautifully! Love it. Hope you get to keep it but I totally get the part about worrying if it lasts...
