How do I store Chanel Boy bags?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
Chanel recommends storing your boy bags by wrapping the chains or straps in tissue paper and storing them upright in the original pouch. Other sources suggest stuffing the bag with acid-free tissue paper to support its shape and make sure the chain or strap is well-padded so it doesn’t imprint the bag.

Can you wear Chanel Boy bag crossbody?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2024
Whether you can wear a Chanel Boy bag as a crossbody bag depends on its size.

The 5.9-inch by 3.9-inch by 2.3-inch Mini Boy and the 8-inch by 4.7-inch by 3.3-inch Small Boy work especially well slung across the body, and some people also find both the 10-inch by 6-inch by 3-inch Old Medium Boy and 9.8-inch by 5.9-inch by 3.5-inch New Medium Boy to be suitable for use as crossbody bags. Generally, the Large Boy is too bulky to be worn across the body.
