Model History:
The Gabrielle bag, introduced in 2017 under the direction of Karl Lagerfeld, pays tribute to the free spirit of Gabrielle Chanel. Conceived to be functional and hybrid, it features a semi-rigid structure, a stable bottom and an innovative shoulder strap allowing multiple carries. This collector’s version, enriched with gold patches evoking the world of Chanel (key, flame, silhouette, stylized camellia), accentuates the bold character of the model, linking it to the visual heritage of the house. Designed to combine urban style with couture tradition, the Gabrielle is positioned as an emblematic model of contemporary Chanel.
Exterior Details:
The upper part of the bag is crafted in supple, textured distressed calf leather, with irregular diamond quilting. Gold embroidered patches with iconic motifs adorn the front, adding a unique touch to this model. The rigid bottom in smooth black leather ensures stability and structure, with clean, rounded corners. The zipper opens with a leather pull tab and CC charm. The two-tone chain mixes gold and antique silver metal, interlaced with black leather, and extends into an adjustable leather section with snap fasteners.
Interior Details:
The interior is lined in burgundy canvas and features one zipped pocket and one patch pocket, practical for everyday organization. The Chanel logo and the words “Made in Italy” are embossed on a matching leather label. The zippered opening allows quick access to contents while ensuring good security. The whole is clean and well-preserved, with no visible stains or tears.

The bag is in very good condition. The leather shows a discreet but even patina, consistent with the use of aged leather. The corners are intact, with no scratches or marked rubbing. The chain retains its shine, without oxidation. The interior is clean, with very slight signs of use. The closure works perfectly and the embroidery is intact.
