I’m seriously considering the Gabrielle hobo in either small or medium in likely all black or some dark neutral. I’ve been loving all the pictures and mod shots of all the pretty Gabrielle’s in here!

My question is, what do you think will look better on me? I’m 5’7”. I haven’t gone to the boutique yet to try them. Anyone around my height can comment? Is it comfortable cross body?

Basically I’m looking for an everyday bag to carry my small wallet/cardholder, coin purse, cell phone, 6 ring key holder, lipstick - bare minimum.
I have a Chanel WOC and I’m finding it a bit too small and cumbersome to stuff everything in.

Also, how hard it is to get in black in small or medium? I’m fairly new to this bag.

Thanks for any input!

I’m 5,6” and I’m leaning towards the small, with the medium being my second choice. The small size just looks more “chic” and seems to be able to dress up better.

Hi there! I’m 5’6” and I prefer the medium Gabrielle hobo. I think it fits perfectly crossbody when you wear the chain in the “V” style and sits so comfortably! I felt the small was just a tad too small for my liking and I prefer having more flexibility with the medium. These are from my Instagram to give you a sense for where it hits on me crossbody. HTH!

The medium looks great too - thanks for sharing your pics ! For me personally, I think the small would be more versatile though in terms of being able to dress it up a bit :)

Thank you for posting these pics! It’s super helpful and I’m leaning towards the medium myself. I still have to go to the boutique to actually try them on. I love the Gucci shirt by the way!

Does anyone have an opinion of the cross quilt vs the chevon style quilting for the Gabrielle? Does it hold up as well or better?

I’m not sure, but I did see both at the boutique in the medium size and the chevron one is much puffier than the quilted. So I assume that the chevron will be less likely to slouch over time as it does seem more supported from the puffiness. I went ahead and got the chevron so can comment more once I actually use the bag. I’m interested to see if anyone else can comment on this.

Just needed to vent. I preordered the bag, waited for three weeks, and thought I could finally join the club today as I just recieved my small Gabrielle. Then upon closer inspection, I noticed a tiny scratch near the top.:wtf::mad:

Now I have to send it back and wait..
