Chanel Gabrielle First Impressions

This is a first impression review of the Gabrielle Backpack and Gabrielle Hobo bag from Chanel.
I haven't had either for long- but there are a few points I wanted to make about both.
I make a lot of references to shopping at Sainsbury's in this video- and if you want a lovely story to read (and this is one of the reasons I like shopping with them) I love this link:

You are my very very very very (very) favorite luxury KZbinr! You're always very cute and fun while imparting lots of good info on the bags. Thank you for your content!

[@ginawiggles918]

Same here. In fact I've unsubscribed 15 or so handbag you tubers. While I no longer collect bags I love Emma and enjoy hearing about her life, jobs, & family. She's the kind of person I'd like to have as a friend IRL.

[@courteneyjung325]

I am so glad that you love your Gabrielle bags. They are definitely underrated but they are cool 😎 girl’s 👧 bags.

[@Juneparks10]

Hi Emma. Every time you do “First Impressions” very detailed. I trust your reviews and just loving your videos ❤️😘❤️

[@heidigiberson3245]

Hello from across the pond! Just wanted to say thank you. Your videos and authenticity has inspired me to finally pull the trigger and share my love of handbags too. It’s refreshing to watch videos from someone being so real and genuine and I really enjoy yours! Also those Gabrielle bags are just gorgeous!!!

[@racquelking8283]

I laughed so hard when you said “It’s going to be a good day. We’re going to Sainsbury’s”. I’m American and I can soooo relate. The Gabrielle looks good on you!

[@kimsjane]

You are so wonderful and adorable! Thanks for the fun and enjoyable review and first impressions. I love how you are so fuss free and casual with your use of the handbags! You really do use and love them. These 2 are on my wishlist and hope I can get them someday!

[@RaffaelloButtrey]

HEY LYXBAG !! I have been watching you for years and im so proud of where you have made it! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day.

[@wolnistajavika5475]

Gabrielle and reissue are my favorite bags by Chanel 😻

[@tiffanyhood8002]

Thank you for making me laugh. I love your edits. I,personally, love both bags and I never thought I’d say that. I really think they’re beautiful. Congratulations.

[@Zombiepinup12]

The hobo has been on my wishlist for forever! So gorgeous girl!!

[@jeanneobbard]

I don't even want a Chanel bag but I'm addicted to the sound those chain handles make when you fiddle with them! LOL. Enjoy your beautiful bags.

[@BrandiJager]

*hidupz* looks regal and sophisticated! Many compliments! Great work, you can add this to your collection

[@gia9811]

Love,love the bags! Great job on your first impressions.

[@sharonozvenom]

I have the white/black medium hobo and I love the “no branding “ showing aspect of it too . 💕 👍👜

[@rolo9404]

totally love your honesty, i really laugh loud with your mannerisms. another fab video. :)

[@anjaprachtstueckwerk7546]

It makes me happy to see how happy you are with your Gabrielle bags! Both of them wouldn´t be bags of my choice (not even if I could afford them...), but you certainly rock them! I agree on your doubts about the big shoulder strap with the Chanel wording on it. In my opinion this bag is consistent on its own and does not need the strap.

[@ellenbeach3006]

I enjoy watching your vlogs. I never considered adding the backpack to my wardrobe but you totally rock it.

[@MalibuKarina]

these are the 2 bags im missing from my chanel collection! love both of them so much....thank you for a wonderful video. it's good to see a fellow mama using these cool edgy bags!

[@carrieharrison3795]

Hi Emma. Love all your videos so much! But especially love your cut-ins where you add commentary about your reviews...lol. You keep me smiling and laughing. I too love my handbags - not sorry!!! Have a great day.

[@glendaplease971]

I love them, and I love them on you!! Thanks for being so honest! Love your videos!

[@janealae]

Never have I ever...showed up to one of your videos so soon after you uploaded. Woohoo!

[@sinzianaromanescu9167]

You have the best reviews in my opinion!

[@vanolla]

I got the exact same Gabrielle hobo this January after lusting for it since it came out. Like you, i was ambivalent about the short strap but at that time, it was the only medium available. I use my hobo all the time, loving the many ways I can carry it. It was definitely a worthy purchase for me!

[@CIrwin-nx5bv]

Ahhh 😌 lovely video! Yes, we all enjoy our handbags 👜 and watching videos about other people’s bags 😅

[@pris8337]

Loving your hair like this Emma

[@RafikhanDggd]

What a great vlog. I love my Neverful Med and GM. And Longchamp. Use it on flights and road trips. To my two daughters-in-law. 😍 *Niceshopx* 😍

[@louiseh297]

Love these bags, if I had the money, I’d buy both too! You look fab in the Burberry jumper and I love your hair in this video. I think you’re the only luxury you tuber that can really make me laugh 🤣🤣🤣

[@CaterinaChapman]

I have the polene nano and I highly recommend it! It is the cutest bag ever!

[@brokebrowngal590]

Loving the Gabrielle bag🥰

[@elinalall3475]

Thanks for sharing your first impressions. It was very informative. After you've pointed out the pros and cons I am liking the Gabrielle hobo more and more! but I'm holding out for a Lady Dior first, someday : ). Have a great day!

[@kimmerly]

Hahahaha Emma I love you! Thank you for your lovely videos!

[@purselady2533]

I love the Chanel Gabriel. I just purchased one. Enjoy!!

[@hilaryshim9040]

Hi, loving your video as always.

[@danishpastry6137]

I love the Gabrielle, and if I could afford to invest in a Chanel bag, I think that would be the one. The contrast of the quilting and the smooth leather is so beautiful (and yes, it does have a creased look, but it's so obvious that its intentional). The fact that the branding isn't so obvious really appeals too, I'm not into branding! I don't get dressed up too much, so bags need to be able to be worn casually, so this ticks do many boxes. Please keep up your videos, it's great that you are so passionate about your bags, and the reviews help me focus on what's important and what's not, if and when I choose to invest.

[@xmishiex]

Thank you for sharing eye candies for every viewer and some Sainsbury’s shoppers out there. 😀

[@jilltomfohr]

Gorgeous, gorgeous! You make me want both! Gotta update my budget to save more for Chanel!!

[@suzannehall5200]

I really like the Gabrielle. They are so beautiful and practical.

[@tina10028]

Love them both!

[@cherryjulz]

Informative and entertaining😊Love the science experiments😂

[@djones2183]

Such and in-depth review! Thank you :) Your Gabrielle hobo is just a stunner! I have the Gabrielle backpack and I am obsessed with it, initially I wasn't a fan of the hobo but now I want it. I am now torn as to what my next bag purchase should be (aka Emma what would you suggest please) Chanel Mini rectangular or LV Dauphine (found it in amazing condition for a very good amount off pre-loved - also if I buy the Dauphine I could also purchase the Valentino rockstud spike bag)

[@dtropea2063]

Beautiful bags. Enjoy them and be safe!

[@Jessiestyle]

the gabby backpack was my first in store purchase a few years ago!!! it my fav bag!

[@kklvoescc]

I’m actually so happy to hear you are loving them! I love my Gabrielle backpack and always say it’s one of the most underrated bags especially here in the USA. It’s just not that popular but I think it’s amazing and super versatile and edgy and cute. This was such a great review. TFS! 😘😘😘

[@Raphamarques]

i love watching your videos and the way you speak and present yourself.... so calming to me for some reason hahahahaha, amazing channel :)

[@MuffBlackie]

Thank you for sharing...I didn't take to Gabrielle when I first saw it but I don't know when it started growing on me! Now I want one!! hahaha for Christmas :)

[@brigittebazel2754]

I Love the fancy strap. You will be happy you have it.

[@lisap9057]

I didn’t like the look of the Gabrielle when it was first launched but it’s one of my favourite Chanel bags. It is easy to style and use. The chain strap is like jewellery and you can wear it so many ways.❤️

[@clarehodder4845]

Love the backpack 😊

[@Denise-kn8ly]

Love you and your videos ☺️❤️

[@annar1884]

I’m waiting to see which bag you’re taking to Tesco! 🙃😄

[@abibee884]

I bought this bag after I saw your reveal video and I have to agree with you. It’s just the best. It just works if you like understated glam and it somehow doesn’t make me feel guilty for wearing luxury during these times. Love your videos 😍👌🏿

[@francesclement1115]

I love your perspective. 😊 the Gabrielle hobo is growing on me. But I really want a slouchy hobo bag in a softer leather to use casually. Like the Hermès picotin. Just wish that one could be worn on the shoulder.

[@andreaenglish1965]

Scarf is a good idea, I have a small Chanel roll top bucket bag and do not like fully pulling in the chain as it’s quite delicate and the cc looks better , so I pop a scarf on the top especially when I am on the Southport train heading into Liverpool makes me feel more secure💕💕

[@my50plus_universe68]

Love them both 💕💕🖤

[@alisonkuppusamy9085]

The back pack is cute, the Gabrielle suits you; I know what you mean about structured bags I love your Trendy and Jumbo (how is it I know the names - you’ve taught us all well) 😂 stay safe

[@trisha6053]

I actually didn't realise I liked the Gabrielle until I tried it on. I have a feeling this is going to be one of those bags that will gradually become popular and stand the test of time. Unlike those bags that become popular overnight and die off just as quickly It is the most comfortable and practical bag I own.

[@irenewhitney7468]

I like both. And as long as you like them and use them then enjoy them.

[@francineseguin6780]

Greetings from Canada Emma, Love your videos and how guilt free you are when buying your purchases. You come off being so sweet, feminine and lady like. Sincerely, Francine Séguin xxx

[@vekavekaaa]

They are beautiful. I'm glad you are happy. Now, I'm wondering about the bag you've bought and returned. Perhaps a video about it. Have you ever returned bags before?

[@damsden2582]

So enjoy your channel. I like both of these bags and I think you will use the extra strap for the Gabrielle bag eventually. It is so pretty.

[@jonnalyn3710]

Thank you for the information. Had same issue with my backpack. Now i know its normal and not just me 😉🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@catherinele1580]

It was love at first sight when i saw my gabby hobo and i decided on the urban spirit backpack 🎒 in mini size as it is more secure with the cc lock!

[@oishimoomoo]

i love the modshots at the end hahahahaha

[@gregbromley152]

I love the Gabrielle bag. It is unfortunately smaller than the bags I tend to carry because I haven't figured out how not to bring half of my house with me when I leave it. But that is a really good looking bag.

[@ginawiggles918]

Hi Emma. Glad you're enjoying your recent purchases. I guess England is just more stylish than where I live. I frequent a very affluent area quite often (Newport Beach, California) and I rarely see designer handbags. Well, other than LV Neverfulls. Occasionally a Chanel flap....a couple of Birkins at fancy restaurants. I enjoy spotting handbags so it's a bit disappointing. Maybe people here just spend more money on their cars....or plastic surgery. ;-D

[@valeriek627]

Hi Emma, such a great video, it was very helpful 👍 Could you please make a video and compare Chanel gabrielle vs Chanel trendy cc... I am a bit torn between those two, its hard to make a decition and there is no videos like that on KZbin unfortunatly 😔 thank you in advance xxx

[@pappyone6062]

I got the bucket bag from fashionphile a few mo this ago. It was cream although the picture looked white. The chain was wayyyy too long (I’m 5’2”) but I mean way too long. Pretty small. The outside panels were a bit weird. Red inside which bothered me because I like very light slg’s in the summer and I was afraid of color transfer. Sent back right away. I think I want the small backpack instead. Thanks for the review! Actually I think it was called the Gabrielle purse bag.

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

Thank you for the video!

[@andreeamogovan4095]

Congratulations on your bags! They are both gorgeous ! What size is the backpack? Maybe you mentioned it and I missed it .. thank you ! 🤗

[@triciap6006]

Oh my gosh the last clip 😆😆😆

[@onlyClaire]

I have metal hooks that hang around my headrest legs that I secure my bag on when I'm driving - bought after needing to do an emergency stop and watching (in slow motion) my handbag fly forward and onto the floor 🤦

[@clarisestark6849]

Love your videos Emma, so uplifting 💖what shelving unit do you store your bags on, I’m struggling to find storage that is deep and tall enough x

[@jbomb6624]

Ikea kallax ;-)

[@clarisestark6849]

@@jbomb6624 thankyou will check it out now x

[@meiltoo]

They look so good on you! But i feel the backpack is fussy to use, because the straps will move about when you try to get stuff from the bag while carrying the bag...

[@kristinrogers2586]

I quite like the strap on the hobo, especially with your boots

[@christinadelimitrou557]

The more I see it on your channel, the more I warm up to the Gabrielle. Oh uh... PS: Curious what the bag you returned was :)

[@eveyluvvs]

Was it just me or did everybody have tons of ads watching this video?? Like way more than usual. It was a bit odd. Either way, thanks for the first impressions! Lovely bags

[@Vtones25]

i didn’t for this video, but that was happening with other random videos that normally have no ads at all. my guess is KZbin being weird

[@Zoe.TheBody360]

I love both the bags and think the Gabrielle is pretty cool - just maybe no 3.5K cool!! lol Btw what do you use to achieve your soft curls in the video....your hair looks gorgeous?

[@vividlashbrows3620]

Hi Emma! Have u ever put the strap onto the back pack? I have both too and thought about putting the strap on back pack so it has a top handle but not sure if the rings fit. I should really get it out of the box to test it 😂

[@bethannesam8671]

Hi love your videos take care x

[@nicoleg2253]

Great video Emma! Would you consider purchasing a Chanel 19 bag? 💕

[@MikSonus]

I have the small Gabrielle backpack and I bought an insert from a company called Zoomoni. They do one specifically for this. It has a few outer pockets where small bits fit nicely. It sits really high in the bag though (which I like) The same company does an insert for the Chanel medium boy bag, that works great for this backpack and sits lower. I also added rings on the grommets. Added a strap, which means I can just sling it over my arm like a shopper tote. Works comfy. Love both bags on you, great buys 💜

[@rebeccaschuh5054]

Thank you for your impressions in these bags; I love your videos! I’m just now looking at a Gabrielle bag the same as yours with the Chanel handle; do you still like yours?

[@Emmaanders]

I love it. I mostly use it without the additional handle but would definitely recommend it either way xx

[@dreedree]

Love your video! If you ever consider selling your Chanel short strap for the hobo can you please me know? I’m dying for it 🥺

[@Reiki-CrystalsOmakaseByClara]

This hair style suits you so much.

[@RossWinchester]

I really love the Gabrielle and I would adore to own one but from what I they often look "limp" after awhile, that turns me off because I like bags that mantein their shape, so I'm really torn. I don't want to have buyer's regret...

[@sandraburns8386]

Hiya Emma, I’m gonna give you my honest opinion, I love the Gabriel bag but I’m not a lover of the backpack. I know loads of people say how lovely they are but their just not for me to be honest.but the Gabriel bag is just so easy and carefree looking that’s my type of bag to be honest. Thank you for this honest and very funny review and for making me cring yet laugh at you ramming in your diary 😂😂 xx

[@pennyleather9935]

Nice use of the word ‘crud’ ! 😉

[@joannawasilewska7601]

I love your gabrielle bag. . Do you know the price of a small Gabrielle without the strap?

[@jq77]

Helloooooo :) thanks for the video! Stay safe.

[@pappyone6062]

Do you carry it crossbody in the front?

[@MM-iu8fk]

Hi Emma🙋🏼‍♀️ Is the backpack the small size? And how much was it may I ask? Much love 🌺

[@stephaniep97]

I was surprised to hear you say the Gabrielle is the 2nd most expensive bag you have since you have a few Lady Dior bags. I'm assuming that's because of where you live? Here in the states the Gabrielle is pretty comparable in price to the Lady Dior

[@lissetteeckert2567]

Hey there! Is your backpack the small or large in size?

[@yolandadixon7090]

Did you find any large Gabrielle backpacks during your shopping? How did you like it?

[@Sarah_RDG]

I really wish the Gabrielle felt good on me, but when I tried it on in store (before all this) it was WAY too long on me and the chains felt heavy. ._.

[@elisollle]

I bought the small Gabrielle with the handle and same for me.... would have been better to go with the one without the extra strap 🙄 I’m wearing it with the strap clipped in diagonal

[@charlotteb1873]

Do they still sell the backpack in store?

[@michellecrawford5692]

Did you get the small or medium?

[@cubanjewlzz]

What size is your bags?????

[@simbamufasa]

Amazing revieuw like always, and wow you like amazing for 32 year woman. Greetings from Belgium
