Hi - I need your opinions on my new boy that I just received from the boutique. I noticed in the light it looks as if there are some natural leather creases...is this normal? Am I just being neurotic? TIA :)

It looks normal to me. I think it’s just this type of caviar leather, which I had to take some time getting used to myself! I have a caviar small classic from 2011 and then got my caviar chevron boy this year. And my boys leather looks like yours - depending on lighting I can sometimes see the creases on mine more easily than other times. Enjoy your bag I think it’s gorgeous!

Yes! That’s normal! My 19B burgundy has many creases like this and I don’t mind it at all and actually love it when I realized it’s the nature of the leather.. if you look online you’ll see many the same.. enjoy your beautiful bag!

Hi everyone! Thought I would post my question directly in the Chanel Boy thread :smile:

I recently came across a picture of a Chanel Boy Waist Bag but couldn't find that many reviews or images of people wearing it. Does anyone own a Chanel Boy Waist Bag and care to share your thoughts? I think it looks super cute and unique but I'm not sure how it would look like on person or if I'm able to sling it over my shoulder as a snug crossbody.

Link to what it looks like!
 
Joining the club, bought my first Boy... and now I already want another one eeek, I saw a beautiful gray one but it was w/shiny silver hardware and I prefer the ruthenium hardware, guess that’s a good thing, otherwise I would’ve been very tempted to buy two lol

Your bag looks perfect - not too shiny, not too puffy, just right! :))
was it made in France? I find made in Italy caviar leather way too shiny...
 
Hi everyone, I would need your opinion. I have a jumbo cf in black caviar with ghw, black 2.55 aged calfskin with shw. I recently got my first boy in old medium, black caviar with brushed gold. Should I keep this combo to continue my collection in black color or should I pick other color? I was looking the pictures and look like black chevron in rhw is perfect match for boy. What do you think? Currently there is no such combo in my local boutique but there is dark grey (purple) with brushed gold in calfskin available. I’m worrying calfskin is too easy to get scratched as I watched the review from YouTube. Can you all give me some suggestions. Should I keep mine? Is it hard to get black cavier with brushed gold? Or is just my luck I could get it right the way from boutique (have two identical one to choose and mine is brand new from box). Your input is highly appreciated.

Hi,
I just got my new old medium Boy bag 2 days ago and I went with black caviar (RHW). I have black caviar jumbo CF (GHW), black caviar WOC (GHW) & seasonal Rock in Rome black soft caviar flap bag (RHW). After failed experience with dark navy Chanel bag and dark blue Chanel flap (Chanel repairs unable to match the leather colour due to being seasonal), I chose to go black caviar root to avoid any potential future heartbreaks. Hope this helps and good luck.

Thanks for your advise. I wish to find the black caviar with RHW too, seems it is more matching to boy style. But currently none in the store and don’t want to wait for the future which Chanel may has another increase soon.
