BRUTAL REVIEW OF MY CHANEL BOY BAG - WHAT I CHOOSE INSTEAD!

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Despite being a beautiful bag I just do not reach for it, after 15 months it is time for a review.
I will share the basic specifications of the bag, what fits, how to wear it, mod shots and the bags I tend to substitute it with.
I hope you find this helpful if you're considering this bag or this colour or just wanting to consider what to look for in a luxury handbag.

    This video breaks my heart because I love the boys! I have 8! I surprisingly love them more than the classic flaps. Primarily for the reason that I can wear them crossbody. But it works for me because I’m short lol. But yes I have popped out the balls on the strap to make it longer. It works, but it’s kind of a scary process lol. I get every single point that you made though. I do think the grey one is a little harder to wear. I totally agree with the line when you said you have to dress for the bag! I had my grey one for 2 years and worn it once 😳. It’s probably the one bag I might let go of if I really had to. Great video!

    It’s a gorgeous boy and complements your skin tone and eye color beautifully, but if your cost per wear is high it's best to move on from it. I just bought a limited edition preloved old medium boy but the leather strap part is woven so it doesn’t slip off my shoulder. I absolutely love it! I just sold two other bags that I wasn’t reaching for as much but still loved....It’s hard to let go sometimes of beautiful but under utilized bags, but once I sell it, I don’t think about it anymore. There’s a fine line between hoarding and collecting for me...so I try to keep my collection limited to the bags I use.

    This is very interesting to me! I love my boy. I can perfectly wear it crossbody (I’m only 5’3”) as well as double strapped on my shoulder and I love both of these ways. I always keep reaching for this bag (that’s probably because I have hardly gone out that much recently and wore my boy most of those times) and I can also fit all my essentials. I guess this goes to show how the same bag can work differently for different people.

    Yes.. I wear my boy crossbody and on the shoulder equally as comfortably as well, but I’m only 5’4” so that may be why. I recently tried on the mini fendi baguette and though it looks great on Dayle, when I wore it crossbody it was a tad too long! Still love it but if it doesn’t look great worn crossbody then it’s a dealbreaker for me!

    That color is stunning! I have the hardest time with gray for some reason. It screams demure and refined to me, but maybe that's just my mental association to Dior? I bought a gray Marc Jacobs bag on sale a few years ago, but never reached for it. Finally I just gave it to my sister. She loves it, but her coloring is totally different to mine (very blond, very blue eyes). Sounds like you're making the best decision! Thanks for sharing 😊

    I totally agree with you about selling a bag as beautiful as it is when it isn’t being used Dayle. 2020 made me re-evaluate my huge amount of clothes, shoes and bags and I donated a lot of clothes and shoes and sold many small leather goods and 16 designer bags as lovely as they all were because I had too many multiples of a style or I didn’t use them. The bag that shocked my friends was when I recently sold the Chanel lamb skin medium classic flap in black with silver hardware. . Mine was bought new in 2009 and from the rare times I used the bag, it would get scratches and creases and marks....mine was a very delicate year of lambskin apparently. I also prefer gold hardware so I sold it because it sat there being used only once a year and I really didn’t enjoy worrying or the silver .....so I really understand how you feel because I loved the look but just didn’t work for me. Luckily I got double the money I paid for it 😬

    I'm sorry to hear you're not getting along with your Boy. I love mine, but I agree with you that I wish the strap were longer or properly adjustable. I'm quite short, so I can get away with it crossbody, even though it sits up a little higher than I would normally wear. I also like carrying it with the chain doubled. I would love to buy your bag, but I'm guessing that once exchange rates and shipping from Australia are figured in, it would probably not end up being a great deal for me -- but I'm sure you'll have loads of people champing at the bit to buy it.

This is so beautiful, maybe think a little more because of the price increases, you won’t lose money. I’m very sentimental. Unless it bugs you so much, then time to let go because you have 2 beautiful structured Fendi bags that are as classics, cool and edgy 💕🤗

It only had a tiny tiny scratch at the corner. My caviar OM bag is in bronze. Similar to what u have. There is some slight discoloration to the chain but nothing serious. It's a boxy edgy bag. Either u love it or u don't. One thing for sure. If u want the luxurious feel in a handbag, go for CF. I cant feel that in boy bags

    'Classic with an edge" - so damn chic! Love your style, Dayle. The Lady D and the Peekaboo with those straps... wowza!!! The Chanel grey is beautiful but I completely understand your reasoning. I bought a light grey Chanel WOC from quite possibily the same collection and had to exchange it because as soon as I got home and tried it on with my wardrobe I realised that it didn't look as good as I'd hoped for a "neutral" colour. Because I have my black bags covered, I exchanged it for a bright orange-toned red medium classic flap and guess what... I have the same issue with that bag! Red is my favourite colour for clothing and the SA convinced me that it was such a rare piece (blah, blah blah), but oddly, I feel that my red Chanel is just too tacky because it's so bright. Some people say red acts as a nice "neutral" because it's a primary colour. But my black bags and dove grey Peekaboos work just as well (and often better) than my bright red and I'm thinking of selling it as I don't feel the quality is there either compared to my other Chanels. If you've been patient with it (sometimes we can fall in and out of love with bags!) yet you feel more excited about reaching for other bags I say "follow your heart". You want to feel 150% sure about a bag especially when these are costly beauties. Great review. Xx

I've actually purchased and exchanged the Essentially and currently have one on hold for me haha. What do you think about the Essentially Peekaboo?

So chic and I've had heaps of compliments with my mediums. The Essentially is a newer Peekaboo model. It doesn't have the tailored "hem" lines that the Iconic has and is closer in size to the medium iconic. It's actually quite a lot bigger than the mini. They're on the Fendi website. They're ultra chic and minimal. I'm still deciding about adding one to my collection... will probably pull the trigger soon hehe. The Essentially calf leather is buttery soft and so delicious.

    This was great insight. That bag is a stunner. Is it a new or old medium? It sounds like you think it’s beautiful but you are not enjoying it. I recently got a boy bag and although it fits less than I’d like, I love it so much that I downsize a bit to make it work because I love it. Also I can easily wear my old medium boy crossbody (I am 5’2” and smaller framed) and that was a deal breaker for me. If I couldn’t wear it crossbody I dont think I would’ve gotten it. My Advice is to keep what you love using unless you are happy just looking at it. I am trying hard to follow that advice also and have sold a few bags recently. I’ve been bad about that in the past. Pretend you do t have it and see how that feels.

    As a stylist you may have an opinion.... though the comments here I’ve come to think it just doesn’t work with my colouring.... it makes me look a bit sickly... would you agree? I was so in love when I bought her home.... but similar to the reissue for me sadly, we just don’t gel 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Grey is a neutral but it looks like it is a cool; cool grey. There is a science with colour. White is pure but black can have blue or brown added to it. Your beautiful Fendi bag 💼 is a beautiful black with texture ( my opinion) so that is an example of how black can look soft or hard. Your Fendi bag is black but softer. So what has that got to do with your grey Chanel you say. Well black and white is mixed to make grey ( warm or cool) and it looks like it may be a more blue based grey ( when you showed it close up) which I think is just too cool for your colouring, you do go for more cool colours as you have beautiful blue eyes but you do tan and I think it may be just too cool for your colouring. Coupled with the style of the bag it is just too serious for your style. I think you like a more fun young style. Just my thoughts but sell it ( you know I struggle to say that) buy you can buy another bag you truely love. I want to see that beautiful smile on your face when you adore a bag.

    You can undo the strap -- however, it doesn't really work as an adjustment, because there are only 2 holes. If you want to extend the strap, you'd have to have it attached with just one stud in one hole, but that doesn't even work, because the end of the top strap extends over where the second stud sticks out, so without another hole, the second stud (the one closer to the chain) just pushes up the end of the strap -- it looks terrible. If you're willing to alter the bag, you can get another hole added, and then that would work, but you'd still only be able to add about an inch, since there isn't enough length on the end of the strap, so it hardly seems worth it, given how the alteration would lower the value of the bag. But what you could do is just *remove the chain it comes with and use it with a different strap* -- I think it would look cool with a guitar strap, or you could just use another chain. The nice thing about those D-rings the chain threads through is you can always use them to attach a strap with spring clips too

    I don't have any luxury bags. I'm a single mom and my budget is Coach and Rebecca Minkoff (who I love!). But I still watch channels like this in the hope that one day I can afford to buy whatever I'd like. I would think, however, that for the price of Chanel, the stitching would be way sturdier and should hold up better, right?? What am I missing?

    @@DaylesAddiction You had mentioned that the stitching had popped off on the Chanel limited edition on the inside corner and were worried about that happening to the grey boy bag (which I love the look of,btw). That's what I was referring to. I get that you need to be somewhat careful to keep the bags in beautiful condition, but it seems to me that stitching shouldn't come apart from filling a bag a bit too full once in a while.

    Awwww too bad it’s not working for you. I have a gold boy and I just love it. It’s like a khaki gold. I think the colour of a bag can really make or break it. The grey of your bag is lovely but I find grey challenging because there are so many undertones that are different from one grey to the next that it seems difficult to match with clothes. My motto is if you dont need to sell it.......LOL..just keep it. Probably bad advice.
