help! should i get this small boy? i love the chevron & shiny pale gold HW. the lambskin is not as puffy as i would like & i already have a lambskin mini from the same collection but i’m not sure when this HW will be available next...
This is beautiful. Would you like to show us the mini that you have so we can help further analyse? Cheers.
 
Hi all! ^__^

The boy bag is a dream bag for me, and since we're considering going to Paris for our anniversary in a couple months, I'm tempted to look over there for my first Chanel. Have you found buying in Paris to be worth it?

Probably the combo that I want the most for casual daily use is black caviar chevron with silver or ruthenium or black/rainbow hardware. I haven't seen that combination in store though... but I love chevron so much more than quilted in most instances. It feels more my style and I fell in love with chevron when I tried on my first Boy last year. ^_^ I would also love iridescent caviar anything.

I am leaning towards a small Boy. I'm 4'11" and the small size is appealing because I already have a couple of medium-sized bags, and wanted a smaller bag for casual errands but not so small that it's a struggle to Tetris in a couple of items. However, I'd want it to be usable for everyday/casual use. I noticed when I went in our local store to try it on that the small seemed a little annoying to open, like the flap was rather stiff and it took two hands. That and the lack of a back pocket make me hesitate slightly. Does the small Boy become easier to open one-handed with time or is it always a bit of a struggle? Also are there any other things you notice with the small boy that might be annoying in practice?

I also enjoyed the rectangular mini when I tried it, it felt very easy to get into compared to the Boy, but the Boy is just so much more my aesthetic. <_<; If you own both, which do you prefer?

I'm a newbie, I bought my Chanel Boy Bag last month from Sak Fifth in FL . They sent it to my house and when I opened it, I saw the CC logo is not as the same as my sister . Can you guys please check whether it is fake or not ? I'm so confuse

Hi! This is not the thread to authenticate an item. If you suspect Saks sold you a fake, which is both egregious and highly unlikely, you should contact your SA at Saks for immediate assistance. It is important to know that these items are handmade and there may be obvious differences similar to what you’re seeing with you and your sister’s bag. Good luck!!

Thanks for your replying. This is my first time own an item from Chanel, so I'm a bit confuse when I see the CC logo is titled forward on left side ( not like the others ) . Should I bring my bag to Chanel store to repair ? Any suggestions ? Thank you so much
