Chanel Gabrielle Backpack: Fake Leather? The Good, The Bad, and The Worn

[@ashleygrey7986]

You posted this right on time! Was trying to figure out whether to purchase a medium or small. Happy the medium isnt too much bigger being that I see a better deal on the resale market.

Hi Ashley! Glad you found it useful! I hope you score a good deal!

Hi, where can I find those chain links? The website you attached is not working for me. Thank you for such a wonderful review!

Hi! Thank you for such an informative review of the Gabrielle backpack. Did you manage to get your straps changed in a store in Singapore eventually?

[@ArissaHa]

Hi Rachel! I literally just got it back from the Ngee Ann City store yesterday! I have no idea if the straps are still PU or actual leather. We’ll see how it holds up after a few years

Where did you find your bag organizer for it?

[@chrisw4760]

Thanks for sharing❤. I’m in the hunt for black small size

[@ArissaHa]

I hope you find one soon!

I am obsessed with this backpack! I was lucky to find a small recently in the boutique. This video helped with my decision! Appreciate the tips on the bag organizer and chain adjustment. 🖤

[@ArissaHa]

You're very welcome! I'm glad you found the video useful.

Thank you for your sharing!! Got lots of useful info for the bag and I'm thinking to get one these few days. May I know when you purchased it??

[@ArissaHa]

I got it this April from TRR

Hii! thank you for sharing this video! My gabrielle backpack's strap is also flaking and peeling off :') my bag is a series 27 which was made in mid 2019 so surprisingly chanel still uses PU leather for it :( So I just wanted to ask, if I decided to replace the straps will chanel replace it with the new real leather strap or will they stick with the same PU material?

[@ArissaHa]

OMG bummer! I seriously though they would've changed it by then. I would assume they would change it to real leather cause if they changed it to PU again, it means we're going to return the bag again for repairs some time down the road.

Hello, do you need to show an actual receipt to have the chains fixed?

[@ArissaHa]

Hmm, I haven't been able to head down to get it fixed but from my friend who did, they didn't need the receipt. I guess that's what the serial number is for?

[@ashleygrey7986]

Hi question. For the bag organizer you linked. Did you order the small or medium size?

[@ArissaHa]

HI! I ordered a medium cause my Gabrielle backpack is a medium.

[@ashleygrey7986]
