    Whether you can wear a Chanel Boy bag as a crossbody bag depends on its size.

    The 5.9-inch by 3.9-inch by 2.3-inch Mini Boy and the 8-inch by 4.7-inch by 3.3-inch Small Boy work especially well slung across the body, and some people also find both the 10-inch by 6-inch by 3-inch Old Medium Boy and 9.8-inch by 5.9-inch by 3.5-inch New Medium Boy to be suitable for use as crossbody bags. Generally, the Large Boy is too bulky to be worn across the body.
