Karl Lagerfeld created the Gabrielle bag to honor the spirit of the House’s founder. More specifically, he created a bag with a rigid base and a supple body, lending it stability and functionality. 

It was first introduced for the 2017 Spring-Summer Ready-to-Wear collection amid a massive marketing campaign featuring Kristen Stewart, Caroline de Maigret, Pharrell Williams, and Cara Delevingne as spokespeople. 

As the choice of spokespeople suggests, Gabrielle was designed with Chanel’s younger customers in mind. Unfortunately, the bag wasn’t an instant hit. However, it picked up steam after celebrities like Katie Holmes, Nicki Minaj, and Meghan Markle were spotted with it. 

The Gabrielle hobo is the primary silhouette but the line also includes a shopping tote, a backpack, and a drawstring bag. 

Notable features include a trapezoid shape, a double metal chain featuring Chanel hardware in gold, silver, and ruthenium tones, and signature diamond-patterned stitching.
