Its name might straight away betray its masculine qualities, but if ever there was a time that was ripe for the launch of a women's bag with a mannish lean, Chanel did well to pick this one. After all, this is a period in which a masculine undertone permeates through much of women's fashion; an suggestion that we only expect to strengthen as 2012 approaches, bringing with it an expected 1930s revival. There's another fact exposed: this masculine undertone is not modern or futuristic, nor based on an experimentation with androgyny. Instead, it's a masculine undertone that carries with it inheritance appeal. And few style houses do heritage as well as Chanel.
So it is that masculine character merge with heritage appeal to shape one of Chanel's autumn / fall 2011 offerings: the Boy bag.
