Controversy Surrounding The Discontinuing Of The Chanel Gabrielle Bag

The Gabrielle Chanel Bag Discontinuing 2023

A transitional major bestseller, and now The Gabrielle Bag from Chanel is being completely discontinued. What does this say about the brand going forward? This isn’t the first popular style from the French fashion house to take the road of discontinuing, some other special pieces including The Medallion Tote, Grand Shopper known as the” GST” were also conveniently discontinued. And how does this impact the consignment preowned market? It drives handbag addict mania to the forefront.

I have noticed first hand, how some bags on preloved sites have gone up in value even higher than what these bags cost at retail value. With the economy being a tad shaky now, the idea of paying such hefty prices is unrealistic. For others, it is a matter of finding one in the best shape and maybe even a possible discount.

The best places to look for The Gabrielle Bag from Chanel, or any of the other well-known discontinued gems by the French brand are places like The Real Real who I highly recommend for a discount since you can get 20% off on your entire purchase, Fashionphile who has a great selection of Gabrielle Bags including different colours and styles. And many other discontinued treasures over the years, including most famously, The Chanel GST, PTT, Chanel Jumbo Single Flap Bag, and Medallion tote.

A woman's purse should be able to hold her whole life—usually some combination of phone, keys, wallet, charger, snacks, more comfortable shoes, receipts, lip balm, a computer, hand lotion, more snacks. Perhaps intuiting this, the Gabrielle is big enough to fit all these things and can adapt to be worn seven different ways, even as a fanny pack.

Style advice, a pop of colour is always fun but for a really good time go for a more modern and classic piece. It is the best way to go, and you don’t have to worry about the bag working for all seasons. The Gabrielle even discounted has an evergreen and modern feel, while it stays and continues to be chic and effortless.

Here are some links so you can shop this gorgeous bag for yourself and not miss out on these amazing deals.

  1. It always makes me wonder why they choose to discontinue a particular bag, I guess they have their reasons. I know they don't like the pre-loved idea. This is a nice size bag, hopefullyb they will introduce a similar bag.

    1. I think people go to pre-loved because you can get retro styles. And they tend to be better quality at a better price point. They probably will, and do a newer style.

    1. I think sometimes it could be the lower price point. Since they like to not keep items from the past that were below 5K. But, it could be their way of redesigning it possibly.

  7. This style is certainly a versatile one! Hopefully they are just discontinuing it for a short time to redesign and bring back.

    I hope you are having a great week so far!

  8. It is a lovely looking bag and I love how versatile it is, the way it can be worn in different ways. This discontinuation will push up the second hand price for sure. Great read xx

  10. TBH, I'm so out of the loop I didn't even know this Chanel bag existed! I do like its size, so I'm surprised it's not a very popular style.

    1. I think the so called classics, like the flap and so on, are the well known ones. But there are more practical styles that still maintain the classic style.

  11. That's a very nice bag (despite not being iconic as the 2.55): so I guess that there are marketing strategies behind its story....
    Anyway it's still a deal! thanx for sharing those discounted bags! :D

  16. While I've never owned one of these bags before, I am super surprised they would discontinue it. It's so beautiful, and looks like such a classic style. I wonder if it's based solely on how much money they've made off of them in a period of time, like ratings with tv shows. That's probably a bad analogy, but I think you'll probably get what I mean, haha.

    1. It actually isn't. To be honest, I think that would make sense. They have done this with other pieces over the years and maybe that is the reason behind it.

  18. It looks like a good sized bag so it is a shame that they discontinued it! Definitely not something in my budget though - even preloved! :)

    Thanks for joining the Weekday Wear Link up :)
