Chanel's Boy Bag
Chanel's Boy bag was inspired by a
hunters' cartridge bag that was carried by Coco Chanel.
The Boy bag lacks overt femininity.
It's lines are strong, &&& the hardware embellishments are not slight.
This boyish bag also lacks the quilted design
that many Chanel bags have been coveted for.
Chanel is avoiding the feminine cliches this season.
This Masculine design is not modern or futuristic,
nor based on an experimentation with androgyny.
It's a masculine undertone that is carrying heritage appeal.
The silvered and gold metals are aged &&&
the large chain seems to be already loved.
It's not that the Boy Chanel bag seems at all to be previously used
(its glazed calfskin has too flawless a finish for that)
but that each bag may have been kept with loving care
in the back of a Chanel store in Paris and
recently dusted off to be again presented to the world.
"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."
