Chanel Boy

About the Brand: Chanel is a French-owned fashion house conceived in 1909 by Gabrielle Bonheur Coco Chanel. During the post-World War I period, Chanel got noticed as it was the first company to use aspects of menswear and integrate them into women’s fashion. Combining sophisticated and graceful femininity with a noble story, Chanel presents an elite brand that symbolizes classy bags like the flap bag, canvas tote, or the boy bag.

About the Bag: Launched in 2011 in Chanel’s Autumn/Winter collection, the Chanel Boy bag made roars while conveying homage to the love of Gabrielle’s life. With its launch, Karl Lagerfeld acknowledged that Coco Chanel used men’s undergarments to make attires; she had this manly outlook, which is the very character of the brand Chanel. She acquired it from Boy Capel, her partner, explaining why the new-fangled bag is named the Boy Chanel. Arthur “Boy” Capel was a polo player with whom Chanel would have a nine-year adoring affair and who would stimulate her to make many of the looks she would be renowned for and later inspire Karl Lagerfeld to craft the Boy Bag. The bag was an instant success, soaring off the shelves and becoming one of the brand’s most iconic styles.

Sizes: The Chanel Boy Bag has been a success in part to its size accessibility. The bag comes in six different sizes; mini, small, old medium, new medium, large, and XL. While the sizing differs seasonally, below is the selection that is available over time.

Materials: The Chanel Boy Bag comes in many different materials and hardware, limited versions, and some more familiar. Most generally, the Chanel Boy Bag is sported with the Classic Quilt pattern. Other patterns include chevron quilting, an even more modernized and smooth look, and ‘reverse quilting, which has a non-quilted body and a quilted border. Rarely, a horizontal quilt is also produced, but this edition is not often seen.

Due to its resourcefulness, the Boy Bag has been produced in several materials, from various leathers to plush textiles. The most general leathers are caviar, lambskin, patent, and goatskin. There have been quite many fabrics available, with tweed and velvet being the most leading ones. However, these are coupled with canvas, PVC, denim, and many other exclusive versions.

There are two types of Chanel Boy Lock closure. Some Chanel Boy Bags are made of even calfskin with a more prominent button on the clasp lock and the Chanel logo imprinted on the top of the bag. A few seasons later, the center CC button was decreased in size, and the large CC logo was added to the lock.

The Chanel Boy Bag comes in various hardware combinations like antique gold, shiny gold, shiny silver, etc.

Interesting Facts: The Chanel Boy Bag has been launched in fascinating combinations of exotic skins like crocodile, python, and stingray. While Chanel bags crafted in Exotic leather come at a hefty price, it should be mentioned that their materials are also what makes them so extraordinary. Chanel declared in 2018 that they will discontinue producing bags with exotic skins.
