I need some help and suggestions please - i want to get a boy but cant decide on colour and size. I know i want caviar as i dont want to baby my bag. I travel really light -i only carry cardholder and my iphone 5 everywhere. Maybe a lipgloss and thats it. And im not sure if i should get small or old medium? And with the colour - should i get black, red or navy? Argh! I already have a black classic flap and red WOC.
If you carry light you should get the small, but the meduim for me fits my i Phone 6, LV key pouch, card holder, a pack of travel tissues, my cell phone charger, a lipgloss and ear phones. The color I guess it depends on your style and what color would suit you, but if you have black in classic flap and a red woc; navy would be a nice color. Caviar is a good choice as well, my boy is calf skin and I only have one faint scratch, but the scuffs I rubb away with my finger or chanel cloth.

Got this today from Rodeo Drive. I was originally set on buying the black with ruthenium, but fell in love with this one (khaki caviar).

Got my boy at New Bond Street at the end of June and only just found the time to post!

Really happy that I was able to get it in this hardware as it is the only one that I like!
Just curious what do you guys think of the leather on this as I have no prior experience with the boys in the previous sesons :heart:

Is this normal for the boy bag? (the sides and when closed)

Congratulations! Beautiful bag!

Mine looks like that too - I found that my caviar is quite stiff and was told by others that the leather would “relax” over time with use. My bag is from the spring summer 2018 collection :)

I'm thinking of adding a Boy bag to my collection. Does anyone know if the following combination exists? I tried searching on chanel.com but they do not seem to have this bag for this season

- black leather, preferably calfskin or lambskin
- chevron
- old medium size
- gold hardware (I'm fine with light gold, brushed gold, etc as long as it's gold!)

Yea definitely seen this before but don’t think it’s a current season combination
 
I can’t stop touching this medium caviar black boy w/ ruthenium hw I just picked up from Short Hills NJ (couldn’t believe they had it in stock so I ran over asap!) I prefer caviar but have been getting other leathers. Forgot how lovely this feels!View attachment 4151378

i've picked the same up from Singapore yesterday! SA texted me in the arvo and i rushed down after work! She told me there were 5 pieces that just came in... Even the lady beside me saw me trying/ checking the bag and she got the last piece instead of the small one she was trying on
