I’ve become entirely Re-Obsessed with the Chanel young boy Bag

I’m not a Chanel person. I write about Chanel a lot because a lot of handbag people are Chanel people, and because I respect the brand’s storied history in the market and the staggering breadth of its current output, but in my personal taste, the brand’s bags typically skew too typically feminine to feel natural in my wardrobe. That changed considerably when the brand debuted the Chanel young boy Bag a few years ago—it felt a little tougher and much more modern than the Chanel’s other flap bags, with harder corners and a bolder chain. I wanted one immediately, and even put my name on a wait list for an amethyst velvet version at one of new York’s Chanel boutiques.

I never pulled the trigger, though—sometimes life gets in the way of bag-acquiring—and eventually, my wishlist moved elsewhere. That was years ago, but now, I find myself drawn to the Chanel young boy all over again because of the strength of the young boy Bags included in Chanel’s spring pre-collection and collection. They’re just so…pretty. and despite the fact that I’m not a person who typically values conventional notions of feminine charm in her wardrobe, I’m having a hard time resisting them.

Whether or not any of these bags would get actual play in my rotation remains to be seen, but in some cases it just takes one piece or one idea to open your mind about what you can wear or carry and still feel like “yourself.” maybe I can become a person who wears rainbow pastels? and even if I can’t, the current-season iridescent options seem well within reach. check out some of my current favorite young boy Bags below.
