An Ode to Coco Chanel: the Iconic Chanel Gabrielle
Introduced in the spring-summer 2017 collection, the Chanel Gabrielle became the ‘it bag’ to flaunt. Over the years, the late Karl Lagerfeld designer continued to recreate pieces that capture Coco Chanel’s equestrian spirit. This iconic bag is a blend of beauty and practicality - a combination Coco Chanel was a cheerleader for while designing the Chanel 2.55 Bag.

Despite an unusual shape, the Gabrielle hobo is considered chic and classy. Patterned after the binocular cases men used to wear over the shoulder at the racecourse, Chanel Gabrielle carries a cool and contemporary vibe. The full line includes a shopping tote, a backpack, and a drawstring bag. From fashion parties to jet-setting, this timeless handbag has become the accessory of choice all over the world. Joining the classic Chanel Boy Bag that celebrates androgynous style cheering Coco’s pioneering masculine-feminine aesthetic, the Chanel Gabrielle has become a crowd favorite!
Beauty is in the details
Mounted on a rigid thermoformed base, the lower part of the bag is lightweight. The sturdy and structured base maintains the construct of the bag, ensuring the bag doesn’t topple while rummaging through the contents of the bag. Taking inspiration from jokey players, the top half of the bag is crafted with supple and smooth aged calfskin leather.

The adjustable strap flaunts luxurious silver-tone or gold-tone metal chains to rock the bag in more than one way. Wear it across the body, on your shoulder, or wrap the chain to make it a tote. Lined with the unique red fabric on the inside, the Chanel Gabrielle houses a zip pocket and a lipstick holder along with ample space to carry your essentials. Talk about functionality and aesthetics! Any situation or mood – the Chanel Gabrielle got you covered!
Beauty is in the details
To call the Chanel Gabrielle a single bag wouldn’t be enough. The chic design comes as a shopping tote, backpack, and a drawstring bag. Choose your favorite fashion companion from a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. Available in seasonal basic colors like black, combination of beige & black, white & black. Also, in vibrant shades of red, pink, light blue, and blue.

    Traditionally, the Classic Flap is a double flap bag that consists of an exterior flap closure and an interior flap compartment. However, on occasion, it has also been made in sizes that can only fit the exterior flap with an open interior.
