~*~ the CHANEL BOY thread! ~*~

I’m joining Le Boy club. This is from the Wynn boutique in Las Vegas. Black caviar with ruthenium hardware in old medium. Perfect for my everyday casual wear.

Personally, while I love caviar leather on the Classic Flap, I find that the Boy looks way better in calf leather. And from experience with mine - it‘s one of my most worn bags - I don‘t find that scratches are a problem.

Oooh we're bag twins! I got mine in Waikiki last December the leather and hardware combination is exactly what I wanted... I only wish it were chevron instead of the classic quilted..only because I already have a classic quilted bag and want a variation.

Thank you so much! Finally saw one at a boutique in dubai. Is the shine in yours similar? ThanksView attachment 5295268View attachment 5295266

Hi Chiyo1214! Sorry I just saw this yes, the shine looks very similar to mine! I like that it's a subtle shine because I think it goes well with the ruthenium hardware

Has anyone had issues with the Old Medium Boy sliding off your shoulder when wearing it? If so, anyone have a solution other than wearing crossbody?

I use strap gummy on the leather part of the strap. It’s a game changer for me because I was never able to wear my bags on one shoulder before. Now I can with my boy bag and my 19 bags.

Thank you! I saw these online when I did a quick search earlier. Glad to see someone endorses the straps, much appreciated!

OMG! I actually bought a boy from the Waikiki store in early Dec. The ladies there were all so nice. When I got home I felt that the caviar was too “shiny”. I went to Vegas and found my current boy that has a more subtle shine. I liked that caviar better and returned the one from Waikiki. Thus missing out on the cheaper tax. They also had the chevron quilting at the Vegas boutique.

My 1st Chanel, a decade old! I loved the boy when it released and love it more still now! I used to baby it but an SA told me to enjoy it & that with regular use the lambskin will evolve in a good, hardy way. I’m thinking if sending her to Leather Surgeons this year for a spa treatment. What do you guys think?
