I actually saw this exact bag in the boutique July of last year and I remember gasping when I saw it. I had just gotten my black boy bag at that time and was distracted by other items. Every time I see any 19B burgundy I regret not getting (this has the same color code for the CF of that season). So when I found it’s still available I didn’t hesitate at all!
I know what you mean about reds being tricky .. this one is stunning and by the way one my absolute favorite beige shades is the classic Beige Clair :smile:

Ahhh, that's what im afraid will happen if i don't get that 20S yellow boy! I feel like i'll regret it but yellow is more trendy than burgundy so i might live. I'm supposed to be tracking down a black calfskin boy but like you - i, too, keep getting distracted by other things -_-

I ended up passing on an 18S beige boy because it ended up being too peachy in certain lights? Beige clair is pretty but i feel like it's too light for my personality.. if that makes sense aha.

I'm waiting on my final chanel, the perfect boy bag. I'm looking for a beautiful iridescent light color, like beige or rose gold, with shiny gold hardware. I'm not really following the other threads on new collections, so if anyone sees one please post it here! I only buy brand new from the boutique or reputable department store like Neiman's.

People don't really post stock photos here, if i were you i'd check out the stock thread over this one since people usually just post their purchases here! :)

Beige Clair is too light for me too lol but I’ll only use it for special outings.. I have a darker 18P beige boy bag which is definitely more forgiving!
You should totally get the black calf boy!!! Is it available now?

you should share a pic of the 18P boy hehe, i think i saw some comparison photos here and i fancied the 17B mauve beige over the 18S.

There's a black calf boy on fashionphile that just got a 5% discount (it's got some tiny indents on the bottom/is scuffed a little) but - for once - fashionphile hasn't listed it above retail! So i'm heavily considering it because i love calfskin over lamb/caviar. Not sure if i want to snag this one or wait for chanel to come out with another calf boy in a later season?? Do you know how often they change up the leather combinations?

I am not sure but I have the impression that a black calf is not difficult to find and gets released often...

By the way I just updated my collection thread, you can find it on the main Chanel forum if you’re interested ;)

That's what im wondering, i could just buy a new one if they release it within the next year / hopefully before another price increase. I feel like there are many more lambskin/caviar boys though so i might just have to ask my SA to keep an eye out.

Lovely, I will check it out hehe

To be completely honest with you I would wait and buy new, I voted against it in your thread, but I only buy new from the boutique so I might be biased, good luck in your decision!

Tough choice! Both are beautiful. I guess it will depend on your wardrobe too? The beige one caught my attention first because it’s a warm tone and I think it would match with a wide variety of clothing. Good luck deciding!

Both of them are stunning! I personally kind of lean toward gold hardware and generally love camel colors but between the 2 I think you should get the grey:
1- It’s stunning with the shiny silver hardware.
2- It’s caviar.
3- It’s darker and so easier to take care of.
Honestly you have 2 beautiful choices there but the leather type is a very important factor for me. Good luck!

I just saw your post now. Did you see the 20A beige? It’s a stunning nude/beige with pink undertones. It was released in the chevron coco handle and the deuaville as well as the Boy bag with shiny gold hardware. I don’t know if the shade fits your description but I think it’s absolutely stunning :drool:
