Named after Coco Chanel’s love of her life, Boy Capel, the Boy Chanel, or simply the “Boy Bag”, made its debut in September 2011. The Reissue comes in 4 sizes: the 224, 225, 226, and 227, as well as a new Waist bag (or belt bag) style Style Other materials such as denim, tweed, etc. Like the Classic Flap, the Reissue comes in both diamond or chevron quilting, in aged calf or exotic leathers. Read this for a detailed comparison between the Classic Flap and the Reissue. Although similar in shape and style to the Classic Flap above, the Reissue comes with the original rectangular Mademoiselle turnlock clasp that Coco designed, a chain strap with alternating straight and circular links without any leather interlaced, and an aged calf skin, which some have referred to as “distressed leather” due to its naturally creased appearance. In 2005, the bag was resuscitated from the Chanel archives to commemorate its 50th Anniversary, and has since been referred to as the Reissue.
StyleĬommonly mistaken for the Flap Bag, this is actually known as the 2.55 – a carbon copy of the original 1955 version by Coco Chanel herself. Other materials like tweed, satin, denim, felt, velvet, and such, are seasonal variations. The Classic Flap bags come in diamond or chevron quilting, and most commonly, in either lambskin, caviar, or exotic leathers. In terms of the Mini sizes, the square version is my favourite, because it’s more unique in comparison to the usual rectangular style. It also comes in a couple of Mini sizes, like the Mini Square, Mini Rectangle and the Extra Mini (now discontinued). It comes in various sizes: Small, Medium, Jumbo, and Maxi.
One of its most popular classic styles, the interlocking C turnlock clasp was created by Karl Lagerfeld, as a tribute to Coco Chanel.

So, since it’s a common question I get, I thought I’d dedicate an entire article about this.
