I’m posting this for my mom who can’t make up her mind. She’s torn between the medium in either beige/black or the blue/black. Both would work in her wardrobe but the reason she’s torn is because she’s worried the beige will get really dirty/color transfer and she has a blue Kelly bag. I think both options are great and to me, the blue/black combo looks nothing like her Kelly. So between the two options, which one would you all pick? Even I’m torn, but just because I love both combos! Thanks!

I have the medium black/beige and it has not developed any color transfer despite my wardrobe of dark jeans and coats.
Was wondering if anyone who has the Gabrielle for a while now - change their mind about it?
I admit the first thing that attract me to the bag was the CC logo. Just felt so special to me. I have the small in all black and I feel that it is tad small for my frame. But I know I will not like the medium cause I only do mini bags. It fits quite a bit and I do enjoy the functionality
Whilst it is functional - the chain is driving me nuts. It just feels too much and sometimes I just don’t know what to do with it. I am not sure whether I shld just sell it cause honestly I a bit 50/50 with it right now. I just hope I don’t change my mind down the road.
Who here has bought it and sold it away. Was wondering how u feel about it after u sold it

I have her since march 2017 and i will never ever sell her...the leather is so durable and carefree...and you can style it in so many ways...i love it...you can put so many things inside her...perfect bag for daily use, travelling and going out...
the chains are the big plus for me...but i have to admit that they made me nuts, too...but only in the beginning
KEEP HER
I started my own reveal thread, but also wanted to share here; my new Gabrielle clutch with chain. I am so in love with this little bambino.
Congratulations Dextersmom for your new little companion. I hope you enjoy it! [emoji177][emoji179][emoji177][emoji179]

I’m having mixed feeling about my small black Gabrielle too after owning it after almost 3 months. I got it back in November and keep telling myself do not care about the base gets scratches but I couldn’t stop babying it and checking the base all the time when I take her out! The chain doesn’t bother me as much but the opening is so tiny that it scratches my hand all the time!
I know this bag is hard to come by but I start thinking maybe it’s not the right bag for me...as most of my other bags I have are caviar and they are just so carefree!
Sigh I’m sure this will not be in my collection forever even though I love the style and the vibe [emoji17][emoji17]

I have a reissue and a camera bag in the same leather. Definitely understand how carefree it is. But I admit my base is scratch up. Totally get the styling point but sometimes when I am in a rush u just feel like function like a normal crossbody if u know what I mean
I remember you took quite long to track urs down too! I guess we needed to have the bag to understand why we don’t need it.
I bought my medium in March of 2017, and sold it around July. I was on the fence about it, too. I was using it, but the chains were falling off my shoulder or getting tangled, my wrist was repeatedly scratched by the zipper, and the aged calfskin was really starting to get squishy looking over the base. It was a great bag because it held a lot of my stuff, but I was worried about how much I would like it in December, or January and forward. Then I got an offer for more than I paid for it because all the retailers were out of stock. I sold it without blinking an eye. Yes, I miss it sometimes because it was so different, fresh. But, I like my small flap bag.
Think about it. Use it. If you’re forcing yourself to use it or like it, think about it again. Give yourself time, and a break.
If you end up selling yours and regret it over a period of time (remember to give yourself some mourning time), the online consignment shops always have them.
Ditto. Love the style and vibe, but couldn’t stop checking my base every time I bumped the door jam or opened car door. It looked great, but I was becoming bag neurotic.
Yes you are so right! It took me almost half an year and i only used it maybe 3 times coz I always reach for other caviar bags or reissue. I’m still trying to give it last chance before I make up my mind to part with it. It hurts me but no point keeping a bag that makes me nervous every time I use it sigh.
Please keep us updated with your Gabrielle!

I absolutely get what you mean coz my heart almost jumps out if my throat every time I bump the bag into something! I know I’m paranoid but that’s just unfortunately how I am...and the more I try not to care the more I pay attention to it!
I’m actually considering to get the tiny version (it’s not called wallet on chain , can’t recall the name) as the size should be difficult to bump the base of the bag into something lol!
