I have a white one in Liege calfskin and it has held up beautifully. The white color is still a gorgeous pristine white. Not yellowing or discoloration at all so far. I don't get much use because the weather does not permit but it is still a STUNNING bag!

I would choose Chanel Boy to be honest! The Boy is my absolute favorite bag ever, which is why I have 2 different ones. However the Celine Box is so clean and sleek, and also the Celine box is a full leather bag, inside and out. The boy is textile lined on the inside which is a total bummer. But in terms of design I think the Chanel Boy is just so gorgeous.

If you can I really suggest getting Boy first if the color you want is available and then get a Celine box. Both bags fill different purposes for me and I've found a use out of both. The Celine Box is a stunning lowkey bag. But if you want to make a statement then go for the Boy.

Thank you so much for your advice. I'm still supper torn, since I truly love both

I have been debating whether to buy a small box or small trotteur for awhile and finally took the pluge and bought the trotteur.

The reason for this is was that I knew that overtime, the box bag would get "wings" from the strap like on a well-used Chanel woc and I really hate that look.
Also the belt buckle like strap would also make me feel conscious about using the bag which was a no-no for me.

But I can see myself buying the bag if the absolutely right combination comes into the store.

I bought two medium Boxes in a matter of months, one navy classic and one pale grey liege. I haven't had them long enough to comment on wear, but in look and feel I they're perfect. The Box is classic and beautiful but not prissy or fussy. Scratches will reflect that I walk and explore and live, and for that the Box is perfect. I walk about five miles a day when the weather permits, and I've done this a number of times with one of my Boxes. I don't feel it at all, but I absolutely love having it and gazing at it from time to time :smile:.

For those who are worried about scratches, I think a liege in a light color is your best bet. An SA told me that the liege is more resistant to scratches, but once scratches happen, they are harder to get out. She thought the light-colored liege bags would be best, since scratches are white. That makes sense to me, and I think a scratch would be hard to see on my pale grey liege, but I can't vouch for it from experience.
I just ordered a dark blue medium Liege Box, so I will be curious to see how it holds up, and if the scratches are noticeable based on what you report the SA telling you about white scratches.
 
I've had a medium box in liege for half a year. So far no wear and tear on it. And since I had it, it became my most worn bag. I feel as a daily bag, I like it even more than all my chanel and lv bags. It's just so simple looking and classic. And liege is just very scratch resistant, so I basically don't baby it at all.
What color did you get?
