Thanks! That’s a good idea. From the photo, it looks pretty, but not really for me. [emoji848] Maybe I’ll check it IRL to see what I really like.

Yes, it does!
I was really upset when I noticed the scratches on mine, but there isn't much one can do about that.
If you have a choice of the Black and this Black Iridescent, which one would you choose and why? I am unable to attend a boutique and have to rely on photos for the purchase.
Black! Not just cos I own one but because I think it’s classic
The iridescent is pretty and a nice addition if you already own a neutral Gabrielle and want something different. But if I were to pick my first I’ll go w the classic black. My SA also mentioned that the iridescent is a coating that may wear off over time so it requires more care.
I’d say black. But because I don’t like the photo of the iridescent that I saw.
I went with the blue purple black iridescent instead of the black in small. I had the chance to compare n choose between the 2 .. both are literally sell out colours.. but the iridescent won my heart ! It was already love at first sight...
Maybe because I had a few blacks in my other Chanel collection and I intend for a Black mini so I'm not doing Black for my Gabby.

Hi, I have the Gabrielle backpack and I LOVE it!After seeing Pearlicious02's small hobo, I am so tempted to get it too!
The chains are not heavy at all and the mixed metal is so cool! The aged calfskin holds pretty well - there are some creases due to the drawstring design. The hard base is useful as it keeps the shape of the bag but scuff marks are quite visible if you look close. But it does not bother me that much due to the whole "rugged" look of the bag.
I intentionally made one of the chains longer than the other and DIY some stoppers (using buttons and elastic bands) to prevent the chains from moving when I carry it using one side of the straps. I use the longer chain to carry crossbody and the shorter one for when I want to sling it on one side. Maybe some pictures will help:

And the "stoppers" I made

Hi! I really like the ideas of your stopper, because recently I just got the Gabrielle Backpack and whenever I want to wear it as a backpack the chain sometimes always gets pulled, and ended up being unbalanced Can you show and help me how to make the stopper?

You’re totally brilliant!!!
Which one should i get? Im debating between the quilted or chevron.
I normal like the quilted. But you look better with the chevron.
The chevron looks more structured and your outfit looks more chic when you tried the chevron. The oversized outfit you worn when trying the quilted, made the bag looking too small on you.
