Pre-Loved Chanel Gabrielle
The hobo-meets-flap that hangs two ways.
The Gabrielle, launched in 2017 and named after Gabrielle Coco Chanel, is a hybrid design blending a structured base with a soft, slouchy top and a distinctive two-tone chain. Conceived as a nomadic, wear-it-your-way bag, it can be carried cross-body, on the shoulder or by hand. It marked one of Chanel's most ambitious new pillars of the last decade.

Why the Gabrielle is iconic
Backed by a major campaign, the Gabrielle was designed as a versatile everyday bag with a signature part-gold, part-silver chain and a hybrid hobo-flap shape. It was one of the boldest new Chanel silhouettes launched under Karl Lagerfeld in recent years.
What to pay pre-owned
Expect roughly £1,200 to £2,600 pre-owned in the UK, with a median around £1,520 for a small in good condition. Classic black and caviar-look versions hold value best, while size, leather and the currency of the colourway move the price.
Sizes & variants
Found as the Gabrielle hobo and backpack in small, medium and large, in aged calfskin or nylon-look fabrics, with the signature mixed gold and silver chain.
How to authenticate
- 1.Match the serial sticker to the authenticity card and confirm both are consistent with the bag's release period.
- 2.Inspect the hologram for crisp, colour-shifting micro-text and that it has not been tampered with.
- 3.Check the two-tone chain, CC hardware, even quilting on the panels and neat, consistent stitching throughout.
Guidance only — always buy from sellers offering an authentication guarantee.
Buying a pre-owned Chanel Gabrielle — FAQs
How is the Gabrielle worn?
Its long two-tone chain lets it be worn cross-body, doubled on the shoulder or carried by hand, giving it real day-to-night versatility.
Does the Gabrielle hold its value?
It holds value less strongly than the Classic Flap, so a good pre-owned example in a classic colour can offer noticeably better value than paying full retail.
Is the soft, slouchy shape a fault?
No; the relaxed upper body over a structured base is by design, giving the Gabrielle its distinctive hybrid hobo-flap silhouette.
