I can’t believe you’ve already had this bag for a year! The base is definitely durable but my biggest concern is the top portion and how slouchy it gets - but I do love the v-style of wearing it as well! It looks so cool and comfy 💕
My Daily Sweet i have had mine for some time now, and for me i can say that the bottom part isn't that worrying, but the top half is a bit more concerning, but i think it depends on the size you get... ( i have the large and it's doing pretty fine in my opinion...)
Can’t wait to get mine a few months - your first video made me want this! It’s such a beautiful bag! I don’t like the flap bags, find it annoying to to be lifting and closing so I sold my woc and mini Rectangle. I think I will love the zipper style of this!
Hi Amy your reviews really helped me and I have it in both small and medium. It wasn’t a bag I liked at first sight but really grew on me!! I agree it’s a fun bag and the chains are so pretty !! The only thing I find a bit frustrating is the small opening. My fave way to wear it is also in the V - so comfortable and helps with weight distribution and security !!
For me who has the Gabrielle in large, i do agree that the wear and tear is faster with the softer part, but so far i haven't had any scratches in the bottom part. It is my first designer bag and i definetly am NOT disappointed, the versatility, design is amazing✨
The only thing that is kind of annoying with the large, is that when you want to wear it as a long crossbody, the soft part will loose it's shape really fast! But except that, and for some people maybe the creasing ( though i don't mind it, i knew it beforehand that it will be unevitable) i love it ✨♥️
you convinced me to buy this bag. thankfully my local neimans had this bag in stock and i did not hesitate! early birthday gift to myself :) so excited to wear mine out!
I received and opened my Small Gabrielle today! I got it for a BIG birthday but couldn't wait 8 days to open it when I can start using it for a little romantic weekend in San Diego this week. This review was INCREDIBLY helpful when I was determining 1) which size to get and 2) how it was going to fair with wear and tear. Thanks Amy!
Thanks for doing a 1 year review! I was on the fence because I was so worried about the wear and tear on the hard base. This bag is definitely going back on my wishlist!
You really helped me when I was researching this bag as I don’t have a store nearby. Thank you 💕! My small black chevron version has no wear/tear after 7 months, even after using it 3 weeks straight on holiday. You style it so well in your OOTDs. It comes second to my Reissue, I love it that much! Thanks for this video. 💕💕
I didn’t love this bag when it first came out but I can’t get off my mind. I’ve decided the small is the best size for wear and tear in my mind. You’re right that size and color combo are hard to find preloved. I need to bite the bullet and just buy it, you style it so well. Thanks for the review and I love my Dior earrings as well thanks to you!!
Thank you I think this bag is very nice and very cool with the straps I like the zip top and the simplicity I’m sick of flap bags. But I am going to check out the Coco handle review you have
Hi Amy! Thanks for your review, i am so in love with this bag now! From hate to love.. i got it in the medium size in all black because i want to use it as a work bag. I feel this chanel bag is just so refreshing and different as most of the chanel bags are always in flaps and i find it harder to get in and out of your bag. The zippy on the gabrielle is so smooth and easy to reach for my items!
FashionablyAMY it is so amazing that after one year or so, you are still loving the bag so much! Yes, I noticed your zippy is in gold after I continue watching. I Guess it is the lighting initially which makes it look like silver! :D I can’t wait to use it later too!
Hi Amy, I definitely agree with u that this is such a gorgeous bag!! And it’s indeed very cool to carry....thanks for ur review and love ur ootd post, stunning
I bought it last year in December and love it so much. The key holder is definitely something important for me who always lock my keys inside my room. 🤣🤣😂😂
Thanks for the review in such a great detail. I wanted to get it in Dec 2017 when I got my classic flap. At the time, Gabrielle was priced at $4125+tax. Now it has gone up so much..... I still want to get it though and I want it in black as well
🥰🥰🥰 I loooove the design of this bag, but the small size makes me look big😅 so I will be going for the medium size (the one next to this).. thank you so much for your videos on this bag 👍🏻 it really helps!
This bag and the crocodile one are in high demand. They're hard to find and if you do find them, be prepared to pay big bucks especially in the second hand market. Took me awhile to source one and many were asking for retail price or a little below it. they have good resale value though! :D
hi! does anyone know what exactly is the hardware on the gabrielle? aged/ matte gold? I have a gabrielle cardholder and you can see the hardware is a little “distressed”, some silver are showing from the GHW. I’ve seen pictures of new boy bags having the same hardware but no one ever talks about it, so I don’t know whether it is normal :,( thank you in advance!
Hi Amy, thanks for this awesome analytic video. Your slim moon shaped pouch caught my attention. I’ve been hunting for something like that to keep my small misc stuff or money like you do. May I know where you get it? Thanks 🙏🏻
i keep coming back to this video because i am very hesitant when it comes to this bag, do you think a so black version is worth getting? i like it better personally but am scared that if i get bored of it, cause i know there's a possibility that i will eventually, do you think it will keep its value?
Oh my goodness it's hard to pick just one! If I can only have one, I'll pick Gabrielle but I don't wear her on a daily basis whereas with the psm, I treat it as my everyday bag since it's sooooo carefree!
Hi amy which material gabrielle hobo do you own here . I so want to get this and yes thank you for your review i am totally going ahead with it . Kindly share what material is ths hobo. Thank you . ❤
Ohh this makes it harder! I am trying to decide between a mini and a Gabrielle. Which one do you wear more? I feel like the Gabrielle will be much more casual because it doesn't scream Chanel as much as the Mini. What do you think?
Your long way of wearing it reminds me of the late 90s or early 2000s I seem to think cross body’s then were really long. I remember those endless Highschool summers going to barbecues with the really long crochet or denim cross bodies ❤️ youth 😂
Love the Gabrielle small hobo! I got the white & black one first because I already have many black bags. I love it so much and got so much use out of it. I ended up getting it in the ice blue color (19P) also. Will you ever consider buying a second one in different color? :P
I’m getting my first Chanel bag, and I can’t decide between the old medium Le Boy & the small Gabrielle!! Which one would you recommend for everyday use and also fashionable? Sorry for my bad English
Both are fashionable and iconic but it depends on your preference too. I personally find the boy bag bulky and I much prefer how the gabrielle looks and feels especially in the small size.
Hi Amy, Im looking to buy my first chanel handbag but I’m confuse between this Gabrielle hobo bag and the Chanel classic woc. Additionally this cost more so I’m just not sure if you would recommend this bag or the woc?
I don't like the WOC so I would personally pick the Gabrielle. Having said that if you only need a super mini bag most of the time, then a woc is a better option for you and it is a lot more affordable and retains value relatively well too.
Thanks so much for this video. I have the Gabrielle hobo in the medium with the beige/black. I am looking to get this bag but I can’t seem to take the plunge on the price. It has definitely increased over The year. Thank you thank you. Love this video. Very helpful. Btw- just an FYI; I think that leather strap inside the bag has it in all of the Gabrielle’s. My medium has it and I don’t really use it either.
Hi AMY, I have watched both of yor videos about Chanel Gabrielle and know Im consider to get a purchase of this bae. If you were me(a boy) which bag will you buy? Chanel classic flap size small/medium and Gabrielle in size small/medium Hope to see your reply soon
In my opinion, you should go for small size, it'll look better with your body shape and if you don't have to carry a lot stuffs, small size is definitely the best choice xx
I think it depends on your height and your size preference. I personally think the size mini/small looks best on me but the size up looks great on guys!
Babe, I completely agree with you. I love my Gabby .. more than the classic flap... it’s just a cool looking bag and one of the few that my hubby completely approve of !

Got this bag after watching you wearing it. #amymademedoit And it is not the first time. Chanel square mini fendi mon tresor, kan i and peekaboo too! Love you Amy you are my girl xx
I saw Sophie's video too and don't get the hate for this bag! It's so practical and versatile. I love my small Gabby!
The Gabrielle has grown on me enormously. Thank you for your input on it - you helped me fall in love with it.
I can’t believe you’ve already had this bag for a year! The base is definitely durable but my biggest concern is the top portion and how slouchy it gets - but I do love the v-style of wearing it as well! It looks so cool and comfy 💕

Time flies! It just depends on the size you get. My one has no crumbling to speak of because it's so tiny!
You just made me fall in love with the Gabrielle💕 it’s such a cool bag & you wear it so well! And your review is so thoughtful.
Coming back to the Gabrielle! What a beautiful bag and still not badly priced!
Can’t wait to get mine a few months - your first video made me want this! It’s such a beautiful bag! I don’t like the flap bags, find it annoying to to be lifting and closing so I sold my woc and mini Rectangle. I think I will love the zipper style of this!
I love your show and the chanel bag to you should do more of these shows
Beautiful bag! Got mine in chevron black ♥️ happy to add gabrielle in my collection! Love ur review! More power!
not in my budget but your video is making me want one! It seems like a really well-made, sturdy, and versatile bag!
Great video, love the mod shots! Those are always so helpful.
Hi Amy your reviews really helped me and I have it in both small and medium. It wasn’t a bag I liked at first sight but really grew on me!! I agree it’s a fun bag and the chains are so pretty !! The only thing I find a bit frustrating is the small opening. My fave way to wear it is also in the V - so comfortable and helps with weight distribution and security !!
That's amazing thank you for sharing!
Love this bag. I have the large,in blue gray. Useful for everyday. Wears beautifully.
For me who has the Gabrielle in large, i do agree that the wear and tear is faster with the softer part, but so far i haven't had any scratches in the bottom part.
It is my first designer bag and i definetly am NOT disappointed, the versatility, design is amazing✨

Excellent feedback! 👌🏻👌🏻
I’m convinced. Will be receiving my bag this upcoming Monday. I cannot wait!
you convinced me to buy this bag. thankfully my local neimans had this bag in stock and i did not hesitate! early birthday gift to myself :) so excited to wear mine out!
Ive watched many vids, this one is most informative for daily use tips.
I received and opened my Small Gabrielle today! I got it for a BIG birthday but couldn't wait 8 days to open it when I can start using it for a little romantic weekend in San Diego this week. This review was INCREDIBLY helpful when I was determining 1) which size to get and 2) how it was going to fair with wear and tear. Thanks Amy!
Big congratulations, enjoy your beautiful bag and happy birthday my dear! ❤️
I’m getting the Gabrielle bag after watching this video!
I love this bag in small, black! It looks amazing on you! It’s on the top of my wish list, 🖤🖤🖤
Thanks for doing a 1 year review! I was on the fence because I was so worried about the wear and tear on the hard base. This bag is definitely going back on my wishlist!
Angie W sameee! And i just saw the new baby pink one, it’s so cute!!
I’m going to Vegas soon and I just ordered this bag. I can’t wait to bring it with me.
You really helped me when I was researching this bag as I don’t have a store nearby. Thank you 💕! My small black chevron version has no wear/tear after 7 months, even after using it 3 weeks straight on holiday. You style it so well in your OOTDs.

That's amazing! The chevron is so pretty!
I love the look of the chevron I actually like it in the larger size too !
I didn’t love this bag when it first came out but I can’t get off my mind. I’ve decided the small is the best size for wear and tear in my mind. You’re right that size and color combo are hard to find preloved. I need to bite the bullet and just buy it, you style it so well.

Twins on the earrings! 👯♀️👯♀️

Coming soon!
Hi Amy! Thanks for your review, i am so in love with this bag now! From hate to love.. i got it in the medium size in all black because i want to use it as a work bag. I feel this chanel bag is just so refreshing and different as most of the chanel bags are always in flaps and i find it harder to get in and out of your bag. The zippy on the gabrielle is so smooth and easy to reach for my items!
oh one more thing, i just realized your zippy is in silver! Is it because it is in the small size? My zippy is in gold and is in the medium size..
Actually my zipper is also in gold, the pull is ruthenium and the cc charm is antique gold. I love the gabrielle, I"m wearing it today :)
FashionablyAMY it is so amazing that after one year or so, you are still loving the bag so much! Yes, I noticed your zippy is in gold after I continue watching. I Guess it is the lighting initially which makes it look like silver! :D I can’t wait to use it later too!
I had a choice between this or the mini coco. I picked this because of the edgy look! :D
Hi Amy, I definitely agree with u that this is such a gorgeous bag!! And it’s indeed very cool to carry....thanks for ur review and love ur ootd post, stunning
I agree with your review 100%. I have the beige/black combo and I hArdly see any wear too.
Fantastic!💋
I bought it last year in December and love it so much. The key holder is definitely something important for me who always lock my keys inside my room. 🤣🤣😂😂
Thanks for the review in such a great detail. I wanted to get it in Dec 2017 when I got my classic flap. At the time, Gabrielle was priced at $4125+tax. Now it has gone up so much..... I still want to get it though and I want it in black as well
Awesome review babe! So thorough and useful! Love love love!!!! I need this size!
You do need one babe! But your medium size is pretty cool too! 😎
You wear this bag so well. 🙌🏼 As long as you enjoy it, that’s all that matters.
Thank you my dear friend ❤️
🥰🥰🥰 I loooove the design of this bag, but the small size makes me look big😅 so I will be going for the medium size (the one next to this).. thank you so much for your videos on this bag 👍🏻 it really helps!
Good choice! The new size up is pretty amazing! 😊
This bag and the crocodile one are in high demand. They're hard to find and if you do find them, be prepared to pay big bucks especially in the second hand market. Took me awhile to source one and many were asking for retail price or a little below it. they have good resale value though! :D
hi! does anyone know what exactly is the hardware on the gabrielle? aged/ matte gold? I have a gabrielle cardholder and you can see the hardware is a little “distressed”, some silver are showing from
the GHW. I’ve seen pictures of new boy bags having the same hardware but no one ever talks about it, so I don’t know whether it is normal :,( thank you in advance!
Hi Amy, thanks for this awesome analytic video. Your slim moon shaped pouch caught my attention. I’ve been hunting for something like that to keep my small misc stuff or money like you do. May I know where you get it? Thanks 🙏🏻
It's part of a bag that I got from Joseph and Stacey
I see. Thanks for answering 😁
It's a very cool and a classic silhouette.
i keep coming back to this video because i am very hesitant when it comes to this bag, do you think a so black version is worth getting? i like it better personally but am scared that if i get bored of it, cause i know there's a possibility that i will eventually, do you think it will keep its value?
Value is never guaranteed and depends on the popularity and demand at the time. Buy it if you love it but hold off if you're not sure :)
I know you love this Gabrielle bag and your LV Palms Springs Mini. Between these two which would you get if only can get one. Thanks and great video!
Oh my goodness it's hard to pick just one! If I can only have one, I'll pick Gabrielle but I don't wear her on a daily basis whereas with the psm, I treat it as my everyday bag since it's sooooo carefree!
Hi amy which material gabrielle hobo do you own here . I so want to get this and yes thank you for your review i am totally going ahead with it . Kindly share what material is ths hobo. Thank you . ❤
Distressed calfskin
Ohh this makes it harder! I am trying to decide between a mini and a Gabrielle. Which one do you wear more? I feel like the Gabrielle will be much more casual because it doesn't scream Chanel as much as the Mini. What do you think?
I honestly need both. I would probably still get the mini first. I'll discuss your question in my next Q&A.
Thank you so much for your in depth response, it really helped with my decision! And yes, I think I need them both!@@FashionablyAMY
Wow!!!Thanks for a lot of information!!!
Your long way of wearing it reminds me of the late 90s or early 2000s I seem to think cross body’s then were really long. I remember those endless Highschool summers going to barbecues with the really long crochet or denim cross bodies ❤️ youth 😂
Pls help I will get gabrielle small bag this month but I’m thinking which one way is better chevron or quilted ?
I love both but I think I prefer quilted a bit more.
Love the Gabrielle small hobo! I got the white & black one first because I already have many black bags. I love it so much and got so much use out of it. I ended up getting it in the ice blue color (19P) also. Will you ever consider buying a second one in different color? :P
Absolutely! I would love a gold, gray or even light pink one!
Hi Amy, between gabrielle and celine box, which one will you pick? Can't decide which one to buy
I would pick Gabrielle in my size. But I know Celine box bag is possibly more roomy and under the radar but I personally would pick Gabrielle.
I’m getting my first Chanel bag, and I can’t decide between the old medium Le Boy & the small Gabrielle!! Which one would you recommend for everyday use and also fashionable? Sorry for my bad English
Both are fashionable and iconic but it depends on your preference too. I personally find the boy bag bulky and I much prefer how the gabrielle looks and feels especially in the small size.
Hi Amy, Im looking to buy my first chanel handbag but I’m confuse between this Gabrielle hobo bag and the Chanel classic woc. Additionally this cost more so I’m just not sure if you would recommend this bag or the woc?
I don't like the WOC so I would personally pick the Gabrielle. Having said that if you only need a super mini bag most of the time, then a woc is a better option for you and it is a lot more affordable and retains value relatively well too.
I am watching now. I can’t wait.
Thanks so much for this video. I have the Gabrielle hobo in the medium with the beige/black. I am looking to get this bag but I can’t seem to take the plunge on the price. It has definitely increased over The year. Thank you thank you. Love this video. Very helpful. Btw- just an FYI; I think that leather strap inside the bag has it in all of the Gabrielle’s. My medium has it and I don’t really use it either.
how much does it cost now?? if I want to buy it this year?
i bought it recently for 3900 US before tax
Hi AMY, I have watched both of yor videos about Chanel Gabrielle and know Im consider to get a purchase of this bae.
If you were me(a boy) which bag will you buy? Chanel classic flap size small/medium and Gabrielle in size small/medium
Hope to see your reply soon
In my opinion, you should go for small size, it'll look better with your body shape and if you don't have to carry a lot stuffs, small size is definitely the best choice xx
I think it depends on your height and your size preference. I personally think the size mini/small looks best on me but the size up looks great on guys!
Love this review!! May I know that which one is more heavier between the classic flap 10” or Small Gabrielle ?
I don't own the small classic flap so I can't tell you the answer but I would imagine the classic flap would be lighter.
I agree-super cool pretty!
Its so Gorgeous Amy. I love your videos
It's so cute bag :) Im gonna get it soon 🤣 it likes unisex bag to me
I loooove it ❤️✨💫
Definitely a cool pretty bag .. I ve watched lots of Sophie’s videos but honestly don’t share her taste in bags. No offence 🙂
Babe, I completely agree with you. I love my Gabby .. more than the classic flap... it’s just a cool looking bag and one of the few that my hubby completely approve of !
That's awesome! Bravo to hubby for having great taste!
The bag looks very chic on u my lady. 🖤👍🏻😘😘😘Sandy
Hi Amy . Is this bag heavy?
Not that heavy as I have the small size
It is a cool fun way, and no looks like a toilet tissue paper😂 Love it!
First! Woo hoo!
❤️❤️❤️
@@FashionablyAMY oh and i saw tweed one on the street. Absolutely gorgeous.. but definitely a gamble in Vancouver weather.
Love it
