Meet, Mr. "Boy" Chanel.

So we all know that the genius Coco Chanel was known for her boy-ish style, and making it acceptable for women to wear. Well, Dr. Lagerfeld (as I now call him), like the genius he is, designed a new line of Chanel bags  that convey Coco's style.

“Chanel used men’s underwear to make dresses; she had this boyish attitude, in fact it is the very spirit of Chanel. She got it from Boy Capel, the great love of her life, which, incidentally, explains why the new bag is called the Boy Chanel,” -- Karl Lagerfeld.

The beautiful calfskin bags are to be in Chanel boutiques this September 2011, ranging in prices from $2,500-$4,300. Not expensive at all, huh? (SIKE).

I absolutely love them and they manage to have a balance between vintage and modern. Very clean-cut and boxy, but very Coco Chanel circa 1920s. My favorites are the white and the large black. Do you love them??
