Story

The Gabrielle was Lagerfeld's last big Chanel launch concept: a hobo built on a rigid double base — borrowed from augmented-reality headset cases — so it sits upright and structured while the quilted body above stays soft. Its double chain mixes gold, silver, and ruthenium on purpose and can be worn doubled, crossed, or over one shoulder. Retired after a short run, which is exactly why collectors hunt it.

Specifications

Authentication checklist

1. The rigid thermoformed base is the structure — it should sit flat and upright unfilled; a collapsing base is wrong
2. The double chain genuinely mixes three metal finishes and includes the leather-and-chain shoulder section

Care notes

Wipe smooth leather with a soft dry cloth after use and condition only occasionally with a neutral leather balm — test any product inside first, and keep it away from perfume and hand sanitiser. Store the bag stuffed with acid-free paper, upright in its dust bag (not its box — leather needs airflow), away from direct sun and heat. Rest chains and hardware against a soft cloth so metal never presses into light leather for a season. Carry it in rotation rather than entombing it: leather that is aired, carried occasionally, and re-stuffed ages far better than leather stored untouched for years.
