Description
Model History:
Introduced by Karl Lagerfeld in 2011, Chanel’s Boy bag revisits the house’s classic lines with a more graphic, androgynous inspiration. The model takes its name from Boy Capel, Gabrielle Chanel’s great love, and embodies a bolder aesthetic. This denim version echoes the trends of the 2010s, when raw materials like denim were integrated into luxury collections to shake up traditional codes. Here, denim is treated as a noble textile, with meticulous stitching and texturing.
Exterior Details:
Light blue denim features alternating ribbed areas and fringed diamond patterns, creating a marked relief effect on the front and back. The corners are reinforced and the edges highlighted by visible stitching, reinforcing the bag’s rigid structure. The brushed gold metal closure, the signature of the Boy model, is engraved with the interlaced double C. The solid, shiny gold chain features an adjustable denim insert for shoulder or cross-body carrying. Every detail evokes meticulous craftsmanship, blending streetwear inspiration with luxury.
Interior details:
The interior is fully lined in plain blue canvas. It features an undivided main compartment, accompanied by a small side patch pocket. A Chanel fabric label is sewn inside, matching the exterior color. This PM format allows you to carry your daily essentials, while keeping the size of your bag to a minimum. The metal snap closure ensures a secure hold.
Product Condition:
The bag is in very good overall condition. Corners show some discreet wear marks, including slight denim lightening on rubbed areas, with no snags or holes. Hardware is bright, with no major oxidation. The interior is clean, with no visible stains. The whole retains its original rigid shape, and its finish remains homogeneous.
Care instructions:
Avoid prolonged contact with water or dark textiles that may bleed onto light denim. Gently wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth in case of stains. Store the bag away from direct light to prevent fading, preferably in a protective cover. Avoid overloading the bag to preserve its structure.
