Publish date: 2024-05-02

There’s a tangerine two-piece hanging in my closet — a poster child for dopamine dressing —  that I’ve yet to wear. The hue is loud; screaming, in fact, at a volume that overpowers any accessory I currently own, and any handbag I’ve tried to style looks sad in comparison. 

Earlier, as I was debating whether to return my orange ensemble, a fellow InStyle writer — almost serendipitously — shared JW Pei’s Gabbi Hobo Bag in bold new spring colors. Better yet, the Gabbi bag, which has been carried by tons of celebrities, is currently on sale at Amazon.

I’m not the only one pining after these petite, '90s-inspired bags. ICYMI: The LA-based brand, which creates bold handbags and shoes from vegan leather and recycled materials, has been worn by the likes of Oprah, Gigi Hadid, and Irina Shayk. Additional celebrity wearers including Megan Fox and Emily Ratajkowsi — who, in fact, own the exact Ruched Gabbi Hobo Bag I’m currently eyeing. 

TBH, the new spring colors — which include cheery greens, fun metallics, and a minimalist-forward cognac color — might be my favorite Gabbi spinoffs yet. That said, Amazon offers a range of colors from past seasons that are also worth perusing (and even more on sale). Colors in the spring collection include lime green, beer, metallic pink, silver, and grass green fur. Most are on sale at Amazon for a limited time — just in time for spring.

This sheeny bag exudes disco ball vibes that would complement any throwback-inspired outfit. Or, if you, like I, believe metallics are neutrals, this bag could pair with pretty much any outfit. 

Petite yet reasonably roomy, the Gabbi bag boasts a a short handle that fits perfectly snugly up against your underarm, so your belongings remain close by your side. As for the bag’s interior, it’s more spacious than the exterior might lead you to believe, with ample storage and a pocket-style slot for cards, phones, keys, and any other item you might need to access within a moment’s notice (doing so is a breeze thanks to a magnetic closure).
