First Chanel: Classic Flap or Boy?
- Thread starter Fashion412
- Start date
Hope you get the call soon, if you can try ghw and shw and don't hesitate to try both the classic and boy again to be 100%sure. My vote is for Classic - I have both but like others once I got my classics I felt I was covered, thus purchases after this could be fun and seasonal. Good luck!
No regrets!
But I’ll probably get a boy too eventually, but this was too timeless to pass up on.
i was debating between the boy or the m/l flap when i got my first chanel. I got the classic flap but now i'm thinking i should've gotten the boy first. I'm from Canada so price wise, i save more on the ML flap in the states than getting a boy. and idk i always had my eyes on the classic and i find the boy strap too long as a shoulder bag. But vegas has the most option there and since boys are seasonal, i would've had a higher chance finding an old medium boy in black caviar with GHW.....and classics, i can always get that whenever and there's a lot in the preloved market while finding the perfect boy in the colour combo you want is hard.
Is it too much to get a boy in black caviar ghw too? ;P or maybe i should go for another combo ? (navy with ghw?) thoughts?
but now i miss the crossbody option too.
I also got the classic flap first before the boy but I found I already use my boy way more than the classic. I got it in navy caviar with gold hardware, but you can’t go wrong with black!

ooo is this from the 17a collection like this one ?
do you have any mod shots hehehe i’m not sure if i want black or navy for something different
Yea it is from the 17A collection. I actually don’t have many mod shots but here the picture of me trying it on in the boutique.
Omg i actually think i like the navy better than black. It's not as boring and it'll be different from my ML flap. it's so nice! makes my heart skip a beat. I wonder if they will release one like that again :$ but even if they do it'll be impossible to get my hands on one in canada. i think you helped me decide not not getting a black boy ahhaa
Also do you mind explaining like the different abbreviations of the collections like 17 a b, p, c etc and when they come out
I remember someone explained it somewhere but i can;t seem to find itOmg i actually think i like the navy better than black. It's not as boring and it'll be different from my ML flap. it's so nice! makes my heart skip a beat.

Haha glad I could help.
I actually am not really sure about the abbreviations. I think A is prefall, B is fall, C is cruise, and P is spring. But don’t quote me in that lol.
omgosh i just called my local chanel boutique & they have this navy boy in stock & only one left. it looks like the one you have ! i’m not sure if he hardware is different but i think i may have found the perf boy bag :$ even though it’s 1.3k more expensive here than in hong kong... should i pull the trigger ??
they also have the black caviar ghw in stock
Congrats, you finally pulled the trigger!! How're you finding the cf since getting her?
My first : Classic Flap.
It made perfect sense to me - if that's to be my only Chanel bag it would HAVE TO be a classic flap.
Having said that, a few months later, I got a Boy [emoji16]
I use both infrequently, but the Boy certainly more.

I only give myself one chance to buy a chanel brand new from the store because they are so expensive. I picked the classic flap and couldn’t be more in love with it !
