Bag Face- Off: The Chanel Boys


When the Chanel Boy bag was first released, I was not one of the many who liked it immediately. It actually took me quite awhile to really warm up to the bag. I was a Chanel Classic Flap loyalist. But somehow this year, I changed my mind about the bag and ended up with not one but two Boys– a medium matte silver one, and then a small metallic red patent one. I’m totally broke now by the way *Bah! Grumbles*

I’m currently in Tokyo and passed by Ginza this afternoon and went into Chanel. And saw this square Chanel Boy.

I think the shape looks weird. I really prefer the “classic” east- west shaped Chanel Boy bag.

And oooh I like it in that brushed gold hardware too! This east- west (rectangle) style just looks more balanced. And it doesn’t look as “dated” as the square one.  The square Boy might work better as a cross- body bag, but if you plan to carry it double- strapped, it looks strange. On the other hand, the east- west style looks very classy.

What’s your preference? 🙂
