A Chanel bag is often the object of many women's desire. It's the classic-ness of them that has made them a yearned for staple accessory for years and years. Quilting, chain strap, the distinctive double C Chanel logo... I can feel you girls smile with fashion warmth right now. Coco did well, didn't she?
And yet there may be a new Chanel bag that might get you going. The Boy Bag. I've never really cared much for Chanel bags myself, I can of course appreciate a handsome over the shoulder or clutch, but this new style from the mega fashion house really took my fancy. It's the boxiness that I love. Almost like a book. And the embossed CHANEL on the spine. Gorgeous.
The press release tells us that: 'It's ambivalent design has a hint of the androgynous woman...the famous duality is a fundamental part of the bag, which is inspired by a cartridge bag that was originally made for hunters and was carried by the fashion visionary herself.'
It's nice to know that Ms. Chanel carried a similar bag. It makes it more personal.
Are you loving this new shape and design? Will you be choosing this over the quilted option?
The Boy Bag will be in Chanel boutiques from September 2011
