Oh my goodness, a Diamond in the rough! Found at a downsizing sale and the woman had an amazing collection and this was just a treasure to find! Ultra great condition, not sure if it had "regular" use as its spotless inside and out. On the stripe it looks like something had been laying on it due to the weave of the ribbing, but it's not a snag or stain, juts something I noticed. I suspect it can work its way out... The Tassel is an added bonus and adjustable strap and all hardware + turquoise buttons are in excellent condition. This is a very very RARE find!
Here's what I learned about GABS!
In 1986 the
Italian lifestyle
brand Gabs was founded in Florence by Marco Campomaggi (see Campomaggi bags) and his wife Caterina
Lucchi.
Gabs Handbags became famous with the innovative "3-in-1 bag" (Gabs G3), a flexible bag that
by use of snaps can be transformed into 3 different bag shapes.
The trendy & cheeky Italian Gabs bags should bring a positive
approach to life & cheerfulness
The company's credo is:
"Do not
Worry - Be Gabs"
The fashion label Gabs offers more than breathtaking bags, Gabs
describes a way of
life.
Gabs stands for color, transformation and versatility, so the look
of the bag can be perfectly adapted to the needs of fashion-conscious women who
like to be the center of attention and who are available for any fun.
Gabs bags
can be identified by their eye-catching
design - similar to the Moschino bags philosophy.
Typical is a turquoise
button which can be found on many Gabs bags (for example
Gabs G3).
Campomaggi and Caterina Luggi are
designing the trendy Gabs handbags for modern confident women.
Gabs multi-material bags:
Another special feature of Gabs is the combination of
different material
mixes in one and the same model.
At some Gabs handbags the inside can be rotated outwards, so
the design is
changing, for example according to the season (summer /
winter).
Functional design & fashionable sophistication: Gabs tries to
make bags for everyday
situations that are not only fashionable but also practical.
The convertible Gabs bags are made of high quality and finest leather with
a certain young & cheeky "Italian touch".
One of the
most popular and most flexible Gabs bags is the Gabs G3 according
to the principle "3
in 1".
This handbag from Gabs is a quick-change artist:
By use of innovative push
buttons the Gabs handbag is equal to 3 bags:
Shoulder, Tote and Shopping Bag
The convertible bag in 3 shapes for any occasion.
You can twist and turn her as you like - with the Gabs G3 you
always have the right
bag for your outfit, as well for the office as for
shopping or the evening.
The Gabs G3 bag was invented by the Italian fashion designer Franco Gabbrielli.
With this bag he could attract a lot of attention in Hollywood.
