Chanel Small Gabrielle Messenger in Black Aged Calfskin - SOLD

This is a 100% authentic Chanel Chanel Small Gabrielle Messenger in Black Aged Calfskin with a mix of Pewter Ruthenium, Antiqued Gold, Shiny Silver and Polished Gold Hardware.

RRP £2,950

Named after ‘Coco’ Chanels real first name, the Gabrielle Hobo is eclectically inspired, both by Virtual Reality Goggles and vintage binocular cases. 

Combining a gloriously creasy and distressed quilted calfskin upper with a firm and glossy structured lower base, this beautiful Chanel is the perfect balance of suppleness and rigidity.

Multi way options to wear….. on your shoulder, cross body or wrap the fabulous chains so you can carry in the hand for a really modern look.

Intended to be a unisex piece, Chanel introduced the first man (Pharrell Williams) in the house’s 108 year of existence to be part of their ad campaign.

Condition -   Excellent*

Details -

The distressed calfskin upper is pristine. Beautifully striated, soft and super tactile with that deep black tone that looks a shimmery, gunmetal grey in some lights.

The smooth, solid lower area is crafted from a very dense shell covered by a glossy calfskin which displays its own natural finish and character. As part of the construction, the hide displays tiny, curved, parallel lines that, on very close inspection, look like miniscule scratches, (see last photo in the gallery below). These are not scratches or a fault, just normal creasing in the finish as the leather has been moulded around the firm panelling.

There are three tiny, dot scratches* to the base curves of the bag, ( shown in close up detail in the zoomed photo above) but to the naked eye are very difficult to see as the reflective nature of the glazed calfskin camoflagues all manner of imperfections effortlessly.

Hardware is excellent throughout and the straps without any detriment.

The interior is lined in a muted red, grossgrain with two large slip sections, zipped pocket and leather key clip. The protective film remains in place on the inner, embossed zip pull.
