Got this yesterday, love the chevron design so much. however, I noticed the base of the bag is very wrinkled. When I compared the base of another Gabrielle in black quilting in store, the base looks very smooth.

I wonder if this wrinkling on the base is common? Will the creases at the bottom make the base of the bag more easy to wear off?IMG_3264.JPGIMG_3272.JPGIMG_3275.JPGIMG_3274.JPG
 
That’s normal. Both of my gabby look like that.

Mine is wrinkled too. I hadn't noticed it. I suppose it is common.
 
Visited my local boutique yesterday to check out the Gabrielle hobo and I can’t stop thinking about it since. Here’s a photo of it next to my small flap. It is taller in height but narrower in terms of width. Capacity wise I would say probably similar to the small flap. Maybe can fit just a little bit more.

Now the question is... should I get it? It would be my second Chanel bag.

Of course! It's a very different style. Gabrielle looks elegant, modern and perhaps you could choose another colour if you want something different. I am delighted with my Gabrielle and I also own the Timeless and Le Boy. All of them are different but give you this point of elegance from Chanel.

Get it!!! You won’t regret it. It’s so versatile & modern. You’ve got a classic so this will be something different.

Since getting this bag, I have not reached for any other. I have the Le Boy as well and love it but this bag is just something else. Get it and will not regret it.

I have small gabrielle, chanel medium flap and small flap. I tend to use small gabrielle more. I love it so much.
 
Thank you ladies for sharing your thoughts! I really like it and am tempted
but can’t help feeling a little guilty for wanting to get another Chanel when I got my small classic flap just < 5 months ago. Then again with the price increases Chanel does I should get it earlier rather than later, right?
