CHANEL BOY BAG

Arthur Boy Capel was the great love of Gabrielle Chanel. This bag model created Karl Lagerfeld 2011 and he was inspired by the hunting bags. The silhouette of the handbag is rectangular and very classic. The name of the bag is due to Boy Capel, the great love of Chanel. 

With its rectangular shape that looks very masculine, a very good style was developed with the design. Simple, classic but still with a WOW effect. 

The triple border on the front flap of the Boy Chanel- bag is an important feature. With the classic black quilted version with its lock held in a brick shape, is another nice detail by which to recognize the bag.

The link chain is in a length that can be adjusted and it offers several wearing options. The graphic clasp is reminiscent of padlocks and were also inspired by them.

This bag is available in four sizes.

The Boy Bag Small has about 20 cm in diameter, the Old Medium about 25 cm the New Medium 28 cm in diameter and Boy Bag Large in about 30 cm in diameter. The carrying strap in the form of a heavy chain (link chain) is much wider and heavier than other models. The small Boy Bag Crossbody worn, is a very elegant variant and is the perfect choice for the evening. 

The Boy Bag made of calf and lamb leather is, among other things, a variation whereby Chanel has always brought out different variations. Many different materials to leather come regularly in the boy bags on the market, that could be different fabrics such as Tweed or but also velvet. The selection is relatively large, there should be something for every taste. Fixed component in the Chanel boutiques are models made of black leather and the hardware which is very antique. 

A Chanel Second Hand and Vintage in Austria to get hold of, is definitely a good value.Every year, the prices of Chanel are raised.The Boy Bag costs instead of as before 3100 euros, it now carries the proud price of 3720 euros. The popular models like 11.12 or 2.55 cost at the moment almost 60 percent more than in Europe.
