Boy- too late to the party?

[berlin_stockholm]

Hi guys!
This is my first post to purse forum, been stalking on and off for years but I am a bit shy ☺️
Anyway, yesterday I was in my local Chanel store (open here where I live) and had the opportunity to buy an old medium boy bag in the combination that I had been looking for and I loved it!
After hearing about the price increase I pulled the trigger and made the purchase without hesitation.
However I have noticed that a there is a lot of mixed feelings towards this bag. Is there anyone that still loves their boy or am I just too late to the party? I have a classic woc from before so I thought this would be a good pair.

OMG, boy oh boy, it's gorgeous, congratulations.

Don't be put off by anyone else's experience, everybody's different. Enjoy to the max!

I don’t own one, but the boy bag was the first bag from Chanel that I considered buying...
I think they are beautiful...

My old medium boy was from 2013 and one of my most loved Chanel! I scoured Europe for it at the time while travelling and eventually found one in Rue Cambon. Congrats and hope you enjoy using it!

Keep it if you love it! If you are having doubts yourself, return. I can understand your feelings though as I just bought my first boy in January and even though it was love at first sight, I also thought a lot about it after the purchase as I also saw many people selling their boys, talking about how it's outdated, that the strap pulls out hair etc. I ultimately decided to keep it because I loved it and will continue to wear it no matter what

I love my boy! Everyone has their own unique style. As for me, I prefer the edginess of the boy. The classic flap doesn’t suit my style.

Congrats on this beautiful Boy! I still love mine to pieces and can‘t imagine ever selling it. I consider it a classic to the fashion house and don‘t think it‘s out of style or anything

...that I had been looking for and I loved it! ...

I think this says it all. Sounds like you love the bag you purchased. Don’t even worry about what’s on trend. All that matters is it makes you happy. Great choice. Gorgeous bag!

Congrats! No way are you late. I have the same bag as you except in lamb and it’s my favorite bag!! Enjoy it

Ahhh love the lamb! It’s so elegant

It's a beautiful bag! Enjoy it and don't worry what others think. Some people on the forums are more formal and classic and others are edgier... the opinions will depend a lot upon who you ask. The fact it has gold hardware makes this bag a bit of both formal and edgy. I personally have both the Classics and the Boys and the Boys just work better with some outfits than the flaps. I also think it will be in style for a long time (much longer than the seasonal bags) so don't worry about that. Carry it in good health

Thank you everyone for the replies and good advice! The bag is staying with me, I love it and it makes a good edition to my collection

I'm glad you're keeping the bag. It's absolutely gorgeous! I have the Boy and a jumbo and I definitely reach for the Boy more. I like that it has one big open pocket but structured enough that I don't lose anything in it.

I love my boy and use it more than my jumbo- it's one of my favorites in my collection! Enjoy her- she's gorgeous!
