Read on to find out how they have incorporated the latest Gabine designs into their outfits.
Krystal
Krystal, a talented multi-hyphenate and CHARLES & KEITH’s global brand ambassador, has a modern and elegant personal style. Opting for soothing earth tones — a cropped beige toga top and chocolate brown pants — she complements her sleek and minimalist summer look with the Gabine quilted saddle bag in classic black to create a casual yet polished ensemble. She also aces the double-bag trend by using the micro Gabine quilted saddle back as a cute bag charm.
CHRISELLE LIM
Fashion influencer and entrepreneur Chriselle Lim accessorised with shoes and bags from the Gabine range in the CHARLES & KEITH COLLECTION, which has expanded this season to include refreshing new designs.

Chriselle Lim And Aimee Song
Influential A-listers in the fashion scene, Chriselle Lim and Aimee Song ace fall dressing with seasonal classics in soothing earth tones.

To complete her outfit, she put on the Gabine buckled leather ankle boots in chalk, which gave her look an edgy-chic vibe.
Miz Freckle
Taiwanese style maven Miz Freckle elevated her modern double-denim ensemble with the Gabine quilted saddle bag in elegant steel blue — the micro iteration of the same bag serves as a charming and practical embellishment.

YOYO CAO
“At first glance, the Gabine saddle bag in khaki might seem like an unusual choice for an everyday bag but trust me, it pairs just as well as black, white and nude do. And it works even better when you are in the mood for colour. The corduroy pink suit that I am sporting is a case in point.”

AIMEE SONG
“It is still chilly in L.A. right now so I’ve been gravitating towards my go-to chunky sweaters and styling them with a neutral bottom. When an outfit is so minimal, I like to accessorise it with a simple bag. I chose my CHARLES & KEITH Gabine saddle bag because it has a classic shape that is convenient enough for everyday use while still offering boldness with its gold detailing.”

TAMARA KALINIC
“The CHARLES & KEITH Gabine saddle bag fits all I need – my wallet, vlogging camera, house keys (which are rather chunky considering that I carry all of my keys with me), phone and lip glosses. I love the effortless style of the bag, which is simple, classic and what I would describe as cool Scandi style.”
