CHANEL BOY BAG

Chanel Boy Bag ***RARE TO MARKET*** Retails for $4999 Colors: black and gold Note: there is wear to bottom of bag and corners. You can see there is a tiny tear in bottom too. You can see the front and back of the bags do have markings. Far removed from the conventional feminine clichés, the Boy Chanel bag is immediately seductive and unmistakably different. Its ambivalent design has a hint of the androgynous woman and opens the way to a new kind of appeal. “Do the right thing at the right moment,” Mademoiselle Chanel used to say. Worn as a shoulder or across-the-body bag, the Boy Chanel boldly asserts its difference, yet at the same time it is firmly rooted in tradition. Karl Lagerfeld suggests this with a new interpretation of boyish charm. “Chanel used men’s underwear to make dresses; she had this boyish attitude, in fact it is the very spirit of Chanel. She got it from Boy Capel, the great love of her life, which, incidentally, explains why the new bag is called the Boy Chanel.” This famous duality is a fundamental part of the bag, which is inspired by a cartridge bag that was originally made for hunters and was carried by the fashion visionary herself. And if you are wondering about the signature interlocking C insignia... it appears subtly on the circular centre of the silvered and aged gold metal buckle, supplemented by a subtle marking of the legendary Chanel name. This bag is crafted in glazed calfskin in deep black.
