Named after Gabrielle Coco Chanel herself, the Gabrielle Hobo was the most talked-about new Chanel bag of its debut year — a relaxed, modern silhouette that offers something Chanel rarely does: genuine casual versatility. The mixed hardware (gold and silver) is a signature detail that has since been imitated by many other houses. The small size is ideal for day-to-night transition.
