babes you look so beautiful here, you're always gorgeous but something about your skin tone in this light with that nail colour and your eye colour is just beautiful!
I bought this same bag a couple of months ago, and I sold it almost immediately right after. And I am SO happy I did. I didn't lose any money on it. I'm waiting for a caviar to come in. Especially with my nails, those marks would kill me.☹️
Great video Sophie!!! Omg the Boy bag is right on top of my wish list, I'd love to get a medium with silver hardware. And that Chanel wallet, fabulous! And my I say, your makeup is stunning girl!!!! x
MissExpensivePink Massive 'thank you' - for watching, and for the lovely comments :))) The Boy....though a fortune, has been such a chic and classic bag. So glad I got it, would definately recommend xxx Big love xxx
great video!!! i have the same issue as you do though-- long nails > scratches. I'm considering buying this bag but unfort rarely see it in caviar leather. lambskin looks the best on this bag.. but is just way too delicate for everyday wear-- that the Boy Chanel exudes (everyday vs delicate like classic shape).
Neesha P Thank you Neesha! Though I have to say.....despite the marks etc I still HIGHLY recommend this bag. She still looks beautiful, and I got some clear polish 2 weeks ago that I used on her and she's looking good! I know what you mean about the caviar - I would like a Boy in the caviar, but I haven't ever seen one in any store xx
+Sophie Shohet | Fashion Beauty Lifestyle Thanks a bunch Sophie! Im planning to buy the same bag next week. YAY. Could you please give me the exact style code if you still have it. Would be very helpful to show to the SA at my local boutique. Love the shiny GHW! xoxo
Hi Sophie! I know this is an older video, but would you link where you purchased the Laduree bag charm please? It' so special and so are you! Thank You!
Absolutely beautiful boy bag. I can see the bag has been marked up and I would suggest you give it in to chanel spa Hopefully that would help but I don't think you can't part with this beauty.
Someday Shabby Hey Shabby - I would be interested to hear actually if you have used any of those independent bag spa places....I was very tempted a few years ago with a Miu Miu bag I have, but I just don't trust anyone enough with my investments!! I would worry about getting a fake back, or nothing back at all! I popped into Chanel on the weekend and asked them about servicing the bag... Dior are great because they offer this service and you normally get your first clean for free if it's within 12 months of purchase...but Chanel said they don't do it, and wouldn't recommend a suitable cleaning product either. The aftersales is not so good with them!! xxx
Loved this video! Thank you so much for the review :) the bag is gorgeous and you look beautiful as always!! Do you currently own a classic flap? Would you be able to do a video on the boy versus the classic - comparison and what you prefer and why?
ChanelAddict15 Thank you and you are so welcome :) xx I don't actually own a classic (I used to have one a while back but it got dreadfully damaged by water and wasn't reparable, so I don't have that anymore), but if that ever changes, I will for sure compare and contrast. I do have another video I did about 1-2 months ago which unboxes and shows all the Chanel pieces in my collection (if you want more Chanel stuff!) My other Chanel bag is a little shopper tote, in an antique bronze/gold caviar - it's shown in that video I mention :) xxx
Your Boy is beautiful! Those marks, worn spots, etc., on our bags can be heartbreaking. But can't be helped, unless we didn't actually use our handbags. I have various little "bags" inside my LV Neverfull, to hold the numerous items that I just have to carry with me! I like the blue in your hair!~xoxo
***** Thank you darling - it's funny...the first mark (I remember it and how it happened) really got to me... After that, the others were not as painful, though still annoying! Thanks for watching :) xx
I was looking all over youtube for a video that has the wallet you showed! Can you do a special review for it? I really would appreciate your insight and opinion before purchasing! Loved this video btw!
Hi Sophie, do you know if the price of the large Boy Bag is still the same as what you paid? I'm looking to get one in August for my birthday. I think the larger size is what I'm going for so I can use it during the day, it probably would be big enough. I've got a classic black flap already for the evening which is the smaller size but want something a fraction bigger for the day....
Hi Sophie I love you so so much I'm thinking of buying this bag now I have watched this videos before so thought of watching it again I just noticed that the chain has faded 😱 is it the lighting or did it actually fade ! I really need to know as I would like my gold chain to stay the same bright gold please let me know if it actually change colour and fade 🙏🏼🙏🏼 love you
Does this particular bag come in other materials? Also, is the new medium same as this one you have (old large)? Thanks for the vid! Enjoyed it so much xxx
+norina.f m Hey lovely! It does come in other colours, materials and finishes, but these come out in seasonal collections... Unlike what I have which is always available (...pretty much!) I get confused over the 'new and old medium' thing! I have another Boy that's the new medium and its smaller than this size large which is older. I'm not sure tbh! Xx 😘❤️✌🏽️
heyy sophie...im a new subbie and i had a question about your lambskin boy bag...idk if you've already answer these questions yet but if you have encountered similar problems...how do you work with the bottom of the boy bag sagging?? i understand its lambskin and its prone to sagging but are there ways of making it look more like its og shape?? also how do you deal with the top of the bag caving in a little when you open the bag while carrying it?? i notice if i dont set the bag on a counter somewhere and then open it the top part caves in and crinkles...thx sophie and btw i love yor videos...you are so pleasant to listen to
blackplasticbox You are so welcome, thank you for watching :) Yes, the Boy is one of their regular lines, always available, like the classic. Like the classic though, they change the colour/material variations seasonally, but yes, it's always available xxx
Hi Sophie, loved this video, super helpful. Currently looking at a boy bag to start my designer collection. My birthday is November 8th ^_^ I love all your videos, I pretty much watch them back to back :)
+DaNika Doll Hey fellow Scorpio!x Ahh, you will love the Boy - it's such a classic piece, yet I feel it has a contemporary edge. I love mine :) Thanks for watching sweetie, Hugs xo
Sophie Shohet | Fashion Beauty Lifestyle No thank you for making awesome videos. I love your video on your career success, could you do one on tips for university grads or tips for starting your own business? Thanks :) xo -from Jamaica
Hi Sophie. How do you find actually wearing it? When I've tried it on (and classic flap) I find the strap length awkward. It's neither a cross body nor a shoulder bag 😁 frustrating! x
ibizarocks12 Hey lovely! Well, I can't speak for the classic flap, but I am tall (5'8") and have a long body - though I find the length of chain quite fine for cross-body and for wearing on a short length... When worn cross-body the bag sits at hip height, maybe a bit lower... But as I say, the classic may differ - you should try the Boy on and see if you prefer it! xxx
Hi Doll, I have the same bag and have had it for about a year now. I use it quite a bit and the gold on the chain has faded some. Has this happened at all with yours?
Hey beauty! The gold on the lock bit has faded a lot on mine, and on the corners you can see silver showing through 😣 I haven't noticed anything on the chain, but it wouldn't surprise me if it were wearing. Terrible when you consider what they charge! Maybe take yours to a store and see if it can be renovated? Xx 😘😘
Omg we have the same birthday! :) Love this video, was very informative. I've anticipated buying a Chanel bag and after this I definitely am. Also what lipstick are you wearing?
***** Scorpio ladies - high five! Thanks for the feedback lovely, it's good to get an idea of whether I'm getting things right or not. Incidentally, the marks are definately made worse looking by the bright lighting I use to film in - I still recommend this bag for sure :) xx I am wearing Spice liner from Mac (I've overlined my lips here) and I have used Gerard Cosmetics lipstick in 'Buttercup' over the top xx
I didn't realise quite how beat-up this bag looked, until I was editing this video! Has anyone with experience of Chanel lambskin got any tips on cleaning/buffing-out marks etc?
That's a large?! What?! Is Chanel okay? Their previous large was an actual large, it was a whole proper messenger bag that was a shiny black rectangle 😂
Joan deeren Hey Joan, It is sooo delicate....I think they first few scuffs I made just with my nails when I opened the bag once. I think the bright lighting made the marks more obvious - in normal day light they aren's as obvious (I watched the vid back and was thinking - Jeez! Look at the state of it!!!) lol, will give it a polish and see if that helps. Thanks for watching :) xx
That's really awful. I hate their new floppy soft caviar too. I was just in Chanel and they were trying to sell me the calf boy bag. THey said the calf on the boy bags wears like a rock. They said there is NO scratching or scuffing of any kind. I said "nonsense" because people are complaining. I asked where's the caviar?, They said karl is changing all the leathers. He doesnt' want to use CAVIAR -- the old kind , They want new leathers. So I bought a Lesage Classic chanel jacket on sale instead. I can see that the leathers look thin and delicate. I'm very careful too but you cannot do anything if it's that delicate. Put Melatonin Clear on it. That's what chanel uses. And try to place the bag on a handkerchiefand when U put it down. There's no second markdown now on clothes, and things are going up big time I heard. I like Chanel much better than Hermes. However, if I get another bag I may get the Victoria ii. it's just so heavy. Luckily I don't need any bags. I hope karl fixes these problems. I haven't been ecstatic over the styles the last few season. LOL with your bag & just be careful. U no, this is not what coco wanted. She always said Luxury must be comfortable. She didnt' believe in shoes that hurt for style, or bags that were so delicate they couldnt' be used.
Joan deeren Hey Joan, thanks for writing to me with this info - I do think that is very wrong of them to be telling you (when they are basically trying to make a sale) that the bag is hard wearing, because it is NOT!! The caviar is SO much better, but even that goes on the corners... Thanks for your tip on the polish that Chanel use, I have never polished the bag because Chanel would not suggest a product in case it trashes the leather - but I will give this a go in a small discreet place on the bag as a test. I like your choice in buying the jacket in the end, so classic xx
If you didn't put so many makeup products in there, you would have stacks of room for more things. Makeup is a waste of time in my opinion and i am a female.
babes you look so beautiful here, you're always gorgeous but something about your skin tone in this light with that nail colour and your eye colour is just beautiful!

2019 and just purchased my Le Boy, my first ever Chanel, waiting for my reservation to call... so excited I have to browse on your videos 😍
I know you’re talking about the bag, but your engagement ring is gorgeous :)
ItsOnlyWarPaint Lol - thank you :) xx
Still all up in your backlist. I just love your videos, lady! You’re crushing it, rock star! ❤️❤️

Hey Sophie
coukd you possibly do a quik 18mth update so we can see how the lambskin is wearing?
Thanks:)
Your make-up looks amazing in this video! X
Sophie watching your whole catalog, cheers Kim from Melbourne
You look hawt w BLK hair🔥 love the turquoise streak too. A little edge looks great on you, you look like a totally different person.
Omg I want this bag but by the time I save up it will the same price as a hermes bag xx

There are many items out there for cleaning and covering many of the marks.

Hi ! Where did you get your keychain from ? I adore it
I love your purse and litte Prada one. Where did you buy it??
Should I buy calfskin if I could not take good care of it?
Hi Doll, I have the same bag and have had it for about a year now. I use it quite a bit and the gold on the chain has faded some. Has this happened at all with yours?

This breaks my heart....please please take this bag to a Bag Spa- they can help restore it,specially the inside 😮
thank you for sharing
what a beautiful boy enjoy!!
Tasari Thank you darling! xxx
That's a large?! What?! Is Chanel okay? Their previous large was an actual large, it was a whole proper messenger bag that was a shiny black rectangle 😂
What is your ethnicity if you don't mind me asking.
This leather seems very delicate. The bag is all scuffed on the corners.
