Hey, may I know what can you fit in this? It’s super cute!From the beach to dinner with my Gabrielle clutch with chain.
Thanks. It holds a little more than a WOC. On either side, the zipped compartments have card slots, so you can put several cards, cash, a lip balm or gloss, car key and the center holds my phone.
Hi Ladies,
I have a question about last years' lambskin Gabrielle vs. this year's goatskin/patent goatskin Gabrielle. I don't quite like patent skin so I am hesitated to get one from this year. However, I noticed past seasons' lambskin sagged and caused creased line in the lower middle part which makes Gabrielle looks worn and aged. I don't know should I go for the new Gabrielle or chase a used lambskin Gabrielle.
Has anyone has this year's goatskin/patent goatskin experience and can share? How do you like it? Is it stronger or look better than the older lambskin Gabrielle? TIA!

I have the navy/black in the aged calfskin (which would be last year's Gabrielle; I don't think they have done lambskin), and the ombre gold/black from pre-fall this year, which is goatskin. The goatskin is definitely stiffer, but long term, I think it will crease....maybe not as much as the aged calf, but it doesn't feel stiff like a flap or more structured bag. It's thicker, but overall, I think the goatskin will still slouch, if that makes sense. I personally don't mind the slouchy look of the aged calf; it's super soft, and it's held up very well. Are you able to go in and try both on? They're different vibes, but it's a great bag that's also practical. Before I found my new navy/black Gabi, I ordered a couple of different sizes from Fashionphile to try on and see the leather/chains (30 days free returns!). If you decide on the aged calfskin, I'd look at pre-loved first. Had I wanted all black, I found 2 great Gabis that were in perfect condition at nearly $1k less than new. I'm assuming you know that the Gabi is slated for a price increase in a few days as well? Good luck deciding!
P.S. Pictures of both my aged calf and goatskin Gabis are on pg 74, posts #1108 and #1109 of this thread, if that helps!
Could you share with me the source where the 2 Gabis you were referring to, please? PM is perfectly fine. I really need to make a trip to BH before they increase the price, which is one day away. But, I'd rather to take time and make a right decision instead of jump on the wagon and get something I regret later.

I am answering my own questions. I just went to BH boutique and tested on both aged goatskin vs. ombre goat patent Gabrielle. Ombre/patent leather is stiffer, but I still like the aged goatskin look better. I asked the sales ladies about the upcoming price increases. She said she heard only the special leather or tweet Gabi prices are increasing but not the goatskin Gabi, but we never know util it really happens.
Oh, good....glad you got to see both in person. (Sent you a PM yesterday about where I bought mine.) The aged calfskin and the goatskin are quite different, so it’s good to try them out. It would be nice if the regular Gabis stayed at the current price point!
I was the same! I didn't love the Gabrielle until I tried it on, and played with it.....and then even more as I used my medium Gabi. Looks great on you!I've never considered the Gabrielle until I tried it on in the new grey color in the small size! Now I am absolutely in love
OMG! Gabrielle price did go up, including the aged goatskin leather. Aged Goatskin Medium went up from $4100 to $4500, and Ombre Patent Goatskin Medium went up from $4300 to $4700. I didn't pay attention on others since those two were the ones I was looking at. I am glad I didn't listen to the sales girls a few days ago and got it before the price went up.

Really? Did you ask about the small size and how much did it go up to? When I got mine it was $3600
Chanel ‘s website shows the small Gabrielle I bought on May 30 for $3600 now at $3900.
