Gabrielle
By Arielle · Catalogued July 2026
The Chanel Gabrielle is a hobo-shaped bag introduced in 2017 and named after Gabrielle Coco Chanel. It has a distinctive two-part body, a structured quilted base topped by a softer upper, that gives it a rounded, slouchy shape, and it hangs from a mixed gold-and-silver chain strap. The front closes with a CC logo. Positioned as a hands-free everyday style, it was a permanent line before being discontinued in 2023.
