Q: What typically fits inside the Chanel Medium Gabrielle Patent Bag?
A: With approximate measurements of 28 x 22 x 10 cm, it is well suited to everyday essentials such as a phone, long wallet, keys, sunglasses, make-up pouch, charger and a small tablet or e-reader. Because the base is structured and fairly narrow, flatter items usually organise best. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact dimensions of this item.

Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody?
A: Yes. The Gabrielle is known for its versatile chain-and-leather strap design, which allows for shoulder and crossbody styling. For this specific item, the strap drop is approximately 46 cm, so the fit will vary slightly depending on height and how you prefer to wear it.

Q: Is the medium Gabrielle a good everyday size?
A: Yes. The medium size is generally favoured for daily use because it offers more space than the smaller versions while still feeling manageable for city wear, shopping, lunch dates and travel. It is more of an everyday bag than a compact evening style.

Q: Does the patent base help the bag keep its shape?
A: Yes. One of the signature details of the Gabrielle is its structured glossy base, which helps the softer quilted upper maintain its silhouette better than a fully soft hobo bag. To help preserve the shape, avoid overfilling and store it upright when not in use.

Q: Is the top zip closure secure?
A: Yes. This bag features a top zip closure and internal pockets, which make it more secure than an open-top hobo style while still keeping daily essentials easy to access.

Q: Does the Gabrielle show wear easily?
A: As with many pre-owned luxury bags, the smoother and glossier areas can show marks sooner than heavily grained finishes, and light scratches to the hardware are common with use. This specific bag is listed in Very Good condition, with a light trace of use to the exterior and interior, and shiny hardware with light scratches.

Q: How should I care for patent leather and mixed materials on this bag?
A: Gently wipe the surface with a soft dry or lightly damp cloth, and avoid harsh cleaning products that may affect the finish. Keep the bag away from prolonged sunlight, humidity and colour transfer from dark clothing or rough surfaces. When storing, keep it upright and protect the chains so they do not rub against the leather unnecessarily.

Q: What product information is included with this item?
A: This item includes an authenticity card and serial number. Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page, so if a box, dust bag or any other item is not listed there, it should not be assumed to be included.

Q: How do you authenticate this Chanel bag?
A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully checked by in-house experts before sale. For Chanel pieces, this includes assessing details such as materials, stitching, hardware, construction and serial information to ensure authenticity.
