Gabs
Gabs is an Italian accessories brand known for its transformable leather handbags. The core aesthetic emphasizes versatility and vibrant color palettes. It represents a subculture of functional creativity, prioritizing the ability to alter a bag's shape through a signature turquoise button system.
History
Franco Gabbrielli founded Gabs in Florence in 2000, drawing on his family’s long-standing tradition in leather goods production. The brand gained significance for introducing the concept of the transformable bag, allowing a single item to serve multiple functional roles. In 2005, the company integrated into the Campomaggi & Caterina Lucchi group. This partnership facilitated global distribution while maintaining the brand's focus on Italian manufacturing techniques and unconventional design structures.
