The Chanel Boy Bag was introduced by the luxury fashion house Chanel in 2011 as part of their Fall/Winter collection. It was designed by Karl Lagerfeld, the creative director of Chanel at the time, who aimed to create a bag that would add a touch of masculinity to the brand's accessories line.
The inspiration for the Boy Bag came from Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel's personal life and her love for menswear. Coco Chanel was known for her innovative and groundbreaking designs that challenged traditional notions of femininity, and Lagerfeld wanted to pay homage to her iconic style.
The name "Boy Bag" was derived from Coco Chanel's nickname, "Boy," which was given to her by her lover, Arthur Capel. The bag reflects her love for Capel and her affinity for borrowing elements from men's fashion.
