Meet Gabrielle
Meet Gabrielle
I’m a self taught designer & 2000s fashion lover and vintage collector who spent years searching for the iconic pieces I grew up loving from delicate babydoll tops and Abercrombie jackets to the unforgettable silhouettes that defined the era.
After years of hunting through Vinted, Depop and vintage markets, I became tired of finding my favourite pieces either unavailable in my size, worn down with age, or being resold for ridiculously high prices.
That’s what led me to start Gabrielle’s Vault.
I wanted to create a place where the most iconic styles of the 2000s could be rediscovered without sacrificing fit, quality or affordability. we take inspiration from genuine vintage and archive pieces
Our pieces are produced in small runs and made with the intention of bringing back the clothes you thought you’d never be able to find again at quality they once were, without the inflated reseller price tag.

When will my order arrive?
Because nothing is mass produced. Each piece is made to order, cut and sewn for you after you order, so it takes 3–5 weeks to produce and reaches you within 6-7 weeks of ordering. It's the trade-off for genuine quality and zero waste.
Why made to order?
Made to order means we never overproduce. It keeps our runs small, our quality high, and our impact low, you get a garment made specifically for you, not one of thousands stitched in a rush.
Can I return or exchange it?
Since we don't hold stock no exchanges but returns yes. If it isn't right, you have 14 days from delivery to request a return. Because pieces are made for you, we simply ask that they come back unworn with tags attached.
What size should I order?
The jackets and top runs true to size. But take your usual size for the original vintage cut, or size up for a looser fit or larger arms. follow the size guide it has exact measurements.
Where is it made?
Designed in London and crafted with our small partner manufactures in China, in limited runs, using premium fabrics selected by Gabrielle herself.
How do I wash it?
Tops: Cold hand-wash or a gentle machine cycle in a laundry bag, then lay flat to dry. Jackets: we recommend dry cleaning so its treat kindly or wash on cold and remove the fur before washing, it'll keep its shape and softness for years.
