~*~ the CHANEL BOY thread! ~*~

Congratulations on your new boy bag. Is your boy bag calfskin or lambskin? You are very lucky to have such a generous mother in law.

Thank you! It's lambskin and quite scratch prone, so I got to be extra careful.

I saw a beautiful grey lambskin Boy bag at the Chanel boutique on Sunday. So tempted to buy but so terrified that the lambskin will not be kind to wear. Is lambskin really as bad as the horror stories I have been hearing?

Was this one on pic above it? I have 3 of them and none are that delicate, I use them and they r fine!

Wow, your bag is beautiful. It is different from the one I saw. The one I saw is a darker grey with gold hardware.

Personally I don't recommend it since it is a structured bag, it could get damaged. I have traveled overseas with an expensive bag though it wasn't Chanel but you have to be very careful with it since you may have go through multiple security scanner, plus in side the flight you will have to either put it under the seat or upper compartment with other people's luggage. It is rather a small bag so you are not going to be able to carry much in it, don't you think?

I Live in UK and I travel with my boy bags all the time. Just make sure it is the only thing you have with if you are taking flights between countries as they will not accept a suitcase + your bag. The trick I use is I buy something at duty free and put the bag inside the duty free bag, so they cant charge me! X

Is that grained calfskin or caviar

I dont own a chevron bag, but all my other bags are lambskin. Im careful with them but they dont wear and tear this easy! What I do do,is I always spray colonil on them everytime I take them out. Somehow it seems like colonil creates a clear protection. x

I decided to go with the black boy bag but I cannot decide between the old medium and new medium. Please please help me decide which size to purchase... Also please ignore the baby bump. Which size would look good if I were not pregnant?
I plan on wearing it to dinner and night outs but not every day use.

While they both look fabulous, I like the old medium for nights out and the new if you plan to carry everyday.

Pulled the trigger today and bought this boy. Wondering what is everyone's opinion on this? I haven't seen people talking too much on this specific design. Personally love this boy but am also wondering if this will be a good investment piece? Would love to hear from you guys!
