The Chanel Boy Bag debuted in the Chanel Fall/Winter collection of 2011. Due to its ever increasing demand, Chanel Boy has cemented a place as a mainstay in Chanel bag collections. Created by Karl Lagerfeld, the iconic design owns its name to Gabrielle Chanel’s first love, Boy Capel. Arthur “Boy” Capel was an English polo player, Coco Chanel’s muse, and greatest love. Boy Capel championed Coco’s radical spirit, and supported her mission to push the boundaries of femininity and gender norms. Upon its release, Karl Lagerfeld said, “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.”

With such a versatile frame, the Chanel Boy has been crafted in a range of materials, from diverse leathers to luxurious textiles. Even the most distinguishable element of the Chanel Boy Bag, the lego-brick lock with a double CC center, has varied over the years. Evidently, the Boy Bag is constantly experimented with, solidifying it as a highly coveted piece that is simultaneously classic and avant-garde.
