No, there isn’t something new about the Boy Chanel WOC that you truly need to know about so don’t panic; just consider this a refresher of sorts. Available in the most stunning of colours this Spring-Summer 2018 season (seriously, just look at that green finished with gold-tone hardware), this is also one of those bags everyone should have. Just like everyone should have at least one Evelyne and one Speedy in their bag collection.

Measuring 19 cm by 12.5 cm, it isn’t the largest bag out there, but it will fit most everything you need, especially if you’re just looking for a chic number to hold your cards and cash for a fun day out. No need to actually carry it either (which is important if you want to keep those hands free for shopping or carrying Junior around), just sling it over the shoulder (or across the body) and you’re good to go.

Available in all manner of leathers and exotic skins, the ones to go for are always the grained leather ones. Besides being hardier than most other leathers which might pick up scratches more easily, there’s something to be said about its patina that just gets better with age. And though it might just come in a single design, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to the selection. Want something brighter? Check. Want something cross-quilted or chevron-quilted? Check. Gold-tone or silver-tone hardware? Check. The choice is yours really.

The only thing that’s not constant, however, is the price, which does go up annually. So what might be SGD3240 now might just cost you a little more next year. In other words, do it now and have it ticked off your bag checklist. You already know you want one, so why wait any longer, right?
