The Chanel Iridescent Aged Calfskin Quilted Small Gabrielle Hobo in Rose is a luminous, pearlized variation of the house’s signature Gabrielle silhouette, which was first introduced in Spring 2017. This specific 2019 iteration is prized for its high-shine, “rainbow” finish that shifts in the light, contrasting a soft quilted body with a more rigid, structured base.
