All About Gabrielle Hobo Bag

It’s Spring, and in spring 2017 the infamous Chanel Gabrielle bag was first launched. Gabrielle was targeted towards a younger demographic. It was designed by the late Karl Lagerfeld. His inspiration was Gabrielle Chanel. Gabrielle paid tribute to the founder and her constant desire to put women’s freedom first, freedom of style. The bag was said to be an effortless “it” bag with a contemporary twist. The bag’s shape takes inspiration from oculus glasses. The adjustable strap lets you wear it three different ways: over the shoulder, cross body or both at the same time. The Gabrielle received mixed reviews amongst Chanel fans, doubting the longevity of the bags’ style. The bag was well received amongst celebrities and influencers. The Gabrielle has become a staple in Chanel’s collection. Here are some Chanel Gabrielle Hobo Bags that we have in stock: […]

All About The Chanel GST Tote

The only GST I like is the Chanel GST – not the tax, the Grand Shopping Tote.  This tote was available in two other sizes: the Petite Shopping Tote (PST) and the Grand Shopping Tote XL (GST XL). The oldest GST first launched  in early 2004, then it was reissued in 2010, and discontinued in 2015. The GST tote rose to fame in the early to mid 2000’s with the entire cast of The Hills, Paris Hilton and many other reality TV stars sporting the bag on their arm. There are two models of this tote; the original model style code was  A20995, and the newer model ( the reissued one) style code was A50995.   What are the differences between the two styles? 1. Its light as air This bag is extremely light and, considering its full caviar leather […]
