First off, this Gabrielle thing – it’s been around a while, like since 2017, if I’m remembering correctly. Karl Lagerfeld designed it, and the whole point, according to WWD (which, you know, is a *big* deal in fashion), was that it’s supposed to be worn a bunch of different ways. Crossbody, one shoulder… whatever floats your boat. And honestly, that makes sense. Who wants a bag that’s just stuck in one position all the time? Talk about boring!
Now, about the Guangzhou part. I’m guessing you’re looking for, like, the price or availability of the Gabrielle Hobo *in* Guangzhou, or maybe even… *gasp*… if there are, ahem, *alternatives* available there. Let’s just say Guangzhou is known for, uh, *sourcing* things. I’m not saying anything, just sayin’.
Anyway, the real deal Gabrielle comes in a bunch of flavors. We’ve got the hobo (obviously, since that’s what we’re talking about), but there’s also a backpack, a tote bag, and even a drawstring bag version. It’s a whole Gabrielle *family*. And they’re all kind of trapezoid-shaped, which is… interesting. Not my personal fave shape, TBH, but hey, to each their own.
Price-wise? Ouch. Prepare your wallet. I saw something about looking up Chanel prices in Hong Kong, which is probably a pretty good indicator, considering. Expect to drop some serious cash, especially for the limited edition stuff, like that pink tweed one with the gold hardware. *Drool*. It even comes with a box and dustbag! Gotta keep that baby safe, you know?
Speaking of hardware, I gotta say, the crossbody/one-shoulder thing is genius. Distributes the weight, which is a *huge* plus if you’re like me and tend to stuff your bag with everything but the kitchen sink. Plus, it just *looks* cool. I saw someone mention that combo looking great, and yeah, I agree. It’s a vibe.
