Most handbags, even popular ones, match to a certain kind of person with a certain kind of style. Some skew older or younger, or to creative type or those with high-powered office jobs. Bags are functional pieces of design, after all, and different design is appropriate for different people with different kinds of lives. Somehow, though, an occasional bag transcends stylistic borders and reaches critical mass, and that’s exactly what the Chanel Boy Bag has done in the handful of years since its debut.
Because of the public nature of celebrity life, their bag choices are a perfect way to analyze a particular design’s success. We’ve caught the Boy Bag in the arms of supermodels, actresses, reality TV stars, a duo of legendary rappers and plenty of French It Girls. Young or old, tall or short, casual or dressy, at the grocery store or stumbling out of a buzzy night club–the bag looks great on everyone and translates well to a dizzying number of situations.
Below, check out literally dozens of celebrities carrying their very own Boy Bags–there’s plenty of style inspo to be had.

I don’t like these when they loose their structure so although they look nice enough I will never get one.
After seeing this I want another boy bag lol!! One Boy bag will never be enough.
I definitely want this before a classic.

Now I want about 10 more Boy bags!!!
My husband recently offered to buy a Chanel bag as a gift for me (I was pregnant, huge and depressed, so he was desperately trying to cheer me up), and even though I’ve been saying for months that the next addition to my collection would be a classic flap, I went for another Boy. I just love this bag. The classic flap will be going home with me next year for sure! I think …
I definitely prefer my Boy over my classic jumbo flap. Strap is more comfy and the single flap is easier to open and close.
I currently make about 6000-8000 dollars /a month from working online at home. Those who are looking to do basic computer-based work for 2h-5h a day from your home and make valuable payment for doing it… This is a work for you… http://ur1.ca/p7vw7

I DIE for Joan Smalls’s python boy ????????????
My fave of the these for sure!
A great selection. If I could have only one, I’d pick from photos 2, 24 or 30.
the boy bag is such a fun bag
i wonder if chanel gives the bags for free to these celebrities?
I love the Boy Bag but can never seem to pull the trigger. Maybe one day. But until then I’m sticking with the classic flaps.
A great Collection of boy bags. I really like 16, 18 & 33 no. bags.

I love my Boy Bags and I can’t stop buying them H E L P M E !!!
I just purchased the Graffiti tromp l’oeil Boy Bag last week and it’s so much fun to wear. So lightweight and quirky.
I’ve been obsessed with this bag for so long, but luckily I’m slowly starting to find the thick chain obnoxious. I’m hoping with enough time I will get my desire for this bag out of my system.
Me too. I feel like I’m the only one who doesn’t really like the Boy bag. I don’t find the shape great to begin with and then that huge chain…. Oddly enough though I like the boy WOC more than any other WOC style.
Hilary Duff’s is my favourite. That silvery one.
Can someone help me? I am thinking of purchasing one in the same size as #8, but I see that if worn crossbody, it falls just at or above the waist. I was hoping the chain strap was long enough that the bag would fall just below the waist. Do they have longer length chain straps?
Awesome collection of bags…..great post
wow!!!! what a nice and attractive blog. Try out some good collection of summer and winter clothes at https://www.orientique.com.au/categories/essentials-1.html.
Chanel bags are like apple of eye for girls and loved by girls across the nation. In my country shopping channels is like as much as Online Artificial Jewellery Shopping by women and girls and i am one of them.
