The story

Launched in 2011 by Karl Lagerfeld and named after Arthur "Boy" Capel, Coco Chanel's great love. Boxier, with a chunky clasp and a heavy chain.

Recent Boy bags resell well under today's retail. Older ones are plentiful, which keeps a lid on prices.

Our verdict: Recent bags resell at about 64% of today's boutique price (Old Medium). A buyer's market, not a flip.
