Chanel Boy Wallet Collection
Walking into Chanel proved near-fatal today, since I nearly left a chunk of cash on the counter and came home with one of these, the new Chanel Boy wallets from the Paris-Bombay collection.
Available in a stunning array of colours and configurations, each wallet is made of quilted lambskin, soft and comforting to the touch, yet somewhat masculine with its ridged edges and distinct burnished CC clasp. It’s one of those collections even the boys can partake in, since one could argue that they are bordering on androgynous.
Retailing from between SGD1000 and SGD2000 a pop (this is just an estimate, by the way), I’ve already got my eye on a long quilted number in jet black lambskin that I’ve decided I needed to spend a couple of days mulling over.
The way I see it, as much as I love the Boy, there’s no way I’ll be able to pull the bag off, nor have that much money at one go to afford it anyway. The wallet, on the other hand, looks to be my way in, and at a price that really isn’t that bad either.

Very nice! I’ve got my name on the waiting list for the smallest size one, your last picture.
totally agree with the last para! *love*
pretty…
I’ve seen this as well last Saturday and I must say you’re right, they are gorgeous!! Love the black one too but the one in olive green I think is not bad at all.
What other colours are there? (FB)
Black, Burgundy and Olive.
Dear Bagaholicboy, could you please give me the style number (I need it for the phone order) for the 2nd wallet?
Hi there. The style number is A68739 Y07612 44203.
It’s the long wallet in quilted lambskin with a zipped exterior pocket. Measures 4.3″ by 7.7″ by 2″.
the long wallet is S$1340 (confirmed) and I think the small one is S$1270; there’s also a zip around long wallet at S$1600. I didn’t see olive but interestingly there’s pink!
damn it. the small one in black… that will totally make me give up my current Gucci wallet for it.
I bought one yesterday! Thanks to your post, most everything was selling out but I managed to get one of the few ones left! Thanks!
Hi Bagaholicboy, it’s a bit too late but can I have the style number for the last wallet? Hopefully there are still stocks somewhere.
