The new 'Boy' (Chanel) in my life

When I walked into the Chanel store on Rue du Faubour Saint-Honoré in Paris, it was just to do some 'museum/window shopping'.  And 'just for fun' (because they didn't have classic beige with GHW I wanted to see), I tried on some 'Boy' bags.  I had seen them before, but had never considered them for myself...until this moment:

Left to right: lambskin 'grey', calfskin double stitch and matte caviar

Mr Brigs insisted I get one (which is incredibly unusual, I tell you!).  I kept saying no, no, no...I have to obsess over something for months or years first, I can't decide things at the snap of my fingers!  After mulling it over some lunch, we went back, and I walked out with this...

 I used to have a thing about not being able to wear the double interlocked 'C's' (despite that being my actual initials - so, really, made to measure, right?), but I have warmed up to the idea, ever since I borrowed my sister's classic Chanel bag for half an hour (we swapped bags)

 Thought I'd lie it side by side with my Chanel 2.55 Reissue 266 to compare dimensions...

 The (medium) Boy bag is wider and shorter...

I've already taken the 'Boy' for several 'spins', and like its 'punky' edge.  One outfit included my navy David Szeto 'Moulin' dress and Maison Martin Margiela for H&M plexi boots
