Owning a Chanel handbag is one of the most sought-after need/wish in the history of fashion. There’s no point in arguing about that. Ever since the Chanel Classic Flap Bag marked its territory on the fashion scene, we were all wondering when the next Chanel bag would pave its way to Classic-land. Along came the Chanel Boy Bag, so proudly worn by numerous celebrities such as Sarah Jessica Parker and Miley Cyrus. Since then, we’ve all been making googly eyes at the precious creation. I want it, you want it, we all want it!

But have you ever stopped and wondered why it is called the “Boy’ Bag? As it turns out, the I-want-it-now bag was named after Coco Chanel’s great love, AKA polo player Boy Capel. Interesting, right? And should you open the bag, you’d notice a hidden zipper compartment under the top flap, which rumor has it was used by Coco to hide her secret love letter!

From Chanel’s Boy Bag to the Boy Watch, it seems that the “Boy” galore will forever be present! Happy shopping ladies!
