Description
Model History:
Created in 2011 by Karl Lagerfeld, the Boy Chanel quickly established itself as a contemporary alternative to the house’s classic models. Inspired by Arthur “Boy” Capel, muse and companion of Coco Chanel, this bag embodies a assertive and daring aesthetic. The model has enjoyed continued success, particularly in its caviar leather versions, prized for their durability and structured look. Editions after 2015, like this one dated 2018/19, are distinguished by even more careful finishes and great fidelity to the original design.
Exterior Details:
The black caviar leather stands out for its marked grain and scratch-resistant surface, ideal for regular use. The herringbone quilting provides a structuring visual relief. The matte gold Boy clasp at the front takes up the industrial codes that define this line. The gold metal chain is supported by an adjustable leather tab, providing comfort and support. Its compact dimensions (approximately 20 x 12 x 7 cm) make it a practical everyday model without taking up space.
Interior Details:
The interior is lined with black canvas, robust and easy to clean. It includes a main compartment with a small side patch pocket. The rigid flap ensures a good closure and a structured hold of the bag, while the interior leather maintains a beautiful smooth appearance. Presence of the series label and the authenticity card, important elements for collectors.

The bag is in very good condition. The exterior leather is well preserved, with no visible scratches or stains. The corners are sharp and the structure remains firm.
