Thank you so much for this video. It's refreshing to hear someone else say that they prefer edgier bags and the classic flap doesn't quite fit their style. That's exactly how I feel and have been considering the 19 for a while but haven't found just the right one yet. Love your pros and cons as well.
I just bought a tweed 19 and it's beautiful 😍. I feel like I would eventually want one in leather. They are such beautiful bags and I love the top handle aspects
Another amazing video. I totally agree with every single point you made. Totally heavy, but not a deal breaker lol. And I agree, I find myself being slightly afraid to wear it because I don’t want any marks lol. Still love them. They are addicting. Once you get one, you want more. Thanks for sharing!
Another great video! I was obsessed with the caramel 19 bag for a long time. But the more research I did, the more l realized this bag just wasn’t for me. I’m going to stick with my classic flap (wishlist). 💕
Great review dear👍🏻! I also have 2 Chanel 19 bags, in black 🖤(medium) and blue💙 ( large). I love them and I agree they do get heavy. Thanks for the review💕
Here in the states resellers are selling the small Chanel 19 small for more than $500 US dollars up to $1000, more! I did purchase one in goatskin from Fashionphile which was like new condition. However when I received it. - it was so wrinkled and a lot of scuffs on the side and back! Plus no structure ! I called customer service and they told me all of the goatskin bags they sell look the same. I returned and bought the small black lambskin which has more structure than the goatskin one. Could be when you buy used they are not stored correctly? My SA said she and several others have the lambskin and they are holding up better than the goatskin too. I just reserved another lambskin from 21K in caramel which is supposed to be the same color as 21P. Hope it is as I love the color of yours!
Very interesting thanks for sharing that info. I’d of thought goat stood up better than lamb so that’s good to know. I use a sturdy shaped liner which really helps with the structure
Great comprehensive video Steph. Thanks. Interesting…. I don’t feel the need to rush out and buy a Chanel bag. They don’t call to me like some others. I am fascinated by Coco Chanel’s life and have read her bios. Maybe a vintage bag ? 🤔🤔🤔
Thanks for watching Mona. Yes a vintage would be a great option. I'm still searching for my dream vintage classic flap in caviar leather. Keep me updated!
The 19 bags are so addicting. I bought a light beige last year and just recently a dark grey from 21B. Great casual bags. I wanted a dark 19 bag but for some reason I don't gravitate towards the black leather. The dark grey is a nice color I think.
I adore this bag so much but like you I don’t see me buying another due to the price tag. It’s a solid one and done for me. Also, have you seen the prevloved market? It’s extremely insane and disheartening…people are better off buying from the boutique.
@@Handbagholic is worthy to buy Chanel 19 in 2023? And what about large one.. is fit inside an 13 inch laptop? Is this bag worthy 2023 please if you can give me and advise
I just got mine today! Beige 20B! So excited but my question to you is when you store it do you lay it flat on its back or do you stand it upright? I’m trying to figure out the best way to store when it’s not in use. Thanks in advance!
Great video! Thanks a lot! Which one have you used the most since purchasing? And if you were to add another one to your collection which one would you get rid of?
I bought my first Chanel bag 3 days ago and I deliberated between the classic flap and the Chanel 19. As they only had lambskin in the classic flap and the gold hardware was not available on that style I went for the Chanel 19. Although it is lambswool it has a top handle so less ware and tear. It is larger than the classic flap and more versatile. I love it. It also suits my style as I like to dress more edgy! There are also more colours available in this style
I have a problem with my 19 bag. It is lamb skin and when I wear it with the short stripe the bag loses structure on the top and a scratch appears in the middle of the top. Did you find solution for that ?
I just bought the new green 19 and I love it so much! I wanted the caramel but obviously that wasn't available any longer. Definitely not a regrettable purchase but yes they're really heavy. Unfortunately they didn't have the large black tweed here in Dubai else I suspect I would have walked away with 2 haha!
Congratulations on your new green! The caramel is coming back out next season - you can contact your SA and pre-order one. 21K, apparently it's going to be the same colour.
I agree with you about the edgy quality, like the boy, both of which I have and really enjoy. The 19 is very soft and comfortable too, as you said, and so is a pleasure to wear. I think I've started on a slippery slope though 😬. Thanks for sharing.
I’m considering a Chanel 19 in lambskin! But I have never seen it in person! Interesting how you bought it without seen it in person first. Do you recommend the bag? Just thinking about the heavy part lol
I also love these bags! I was lucky enough to find them in the 21a light grey and got them in both the medium and the large size and I couldn’t decide which to keep, and then the price increase hit so I kept them both. Then the 21b charcoal grey came out and I couldn’t resist it. Got the medium one. No regrets!! It’s such and easy to use bag! What do you waterproof them with? Definitely paranoid about the light color of my light grey ones.
Congratulations! Yes the grey colours recently have been stunning. I'd be tempted with a grey! I think I'm going to protect the leather with this: www.handbagholic.co.uk/shop/care-products/collonil-delicate-handbag-leather-cleaner-cream-50ml/
I’m currently in the process in trying to buy the small I want new from store but would rather be able to get it posted to me but not sure I’ll be able to, I may have to go to london. Do u know if harrods or selfridges will post? Both gorgeous 😍
I hope you manage to get one! I got my SA in London to post me the Chanel 19 but it was over lockdown, so they were more responsive. You can try, they do do it.

I am currently CRAZY on these 19 bags! Especially the Shopping bag in black leather.

the black one is very elegant
Love the video. I want a 19. I buy all my bags in black so I want the 19 in pink. It’s such a beautiful bag.
Same recently added the pink (fuschia). It’s stunning!
That black tweed is stunning!!
Glad you like! It was love at first sight
Another great video! I was obsessed with the caramel 19 bag for a long time. But the more research I did, the more l realized this bag just wasn’t for me. I’m going to stick with my classic flap (wishlist). 💕
I would love and cherish the chanel 19 if i ever get my hands on one, its a beautiful piece!
Yes they're very lovely. Thanks for commenting Nancy
Been back and forth on the large and Maxi size...The weight of the bag changed my mind. Ordered the Large.
Good choice!
I think these are the prettiest chanel bags.
Great review dear👍🏻! I also have 2 Chanel 19 bags, in black 🖤(medium) and blue💙 ( large). I love them and I agree they do get heavy. Thanks for the review💕
Thanks, at least it's not just me that thinks they can be heavy!
@@Handbagholic r
I totally want one. She’s on top of my list with a fendi peek a boo.
They're great bags! Do let me know when you get one, I love seeing new bag pictures. If you're on Instagram : instagram.com/handbag_holic/
I am considering buy the Chanel 19 but I am so scared about it holding its value

@@Handbagholic Yes I have a zoomoni organizer in mine and a base shaper underneath the organizer from MBoutique.
@@Handbagholic From what I’ve read on multiple FB chats, lambskin is actually better than goatskin specifically for the 19. 🤷🏽♀️
Last fall i panic bought the small black .Here in Canada it’s a lottery to purchase. Just starting to use it as I’m going out more. 🖤
Keep me updated on how you find it!

Thank you for honest review! I wanted to buy this bag, but the chain… stops me:)
Thank you for this enlightening vid…this bag is definitely in my wish list I have the boy and the classic both preloved I just adore Chanel bags
Glad it was helpful!
I adore this bag so much but like you I don’t see me buying another due to the price tag. It’s a solid one and done for me. Also, have you seen the prevloved market? It’s extremely insane and disheartening…people are better off buying from the boutique.
Yes they are expensive pre-loved too I’m some cases. Definitely agree, don’t need any more I’d rather have other styles of bags

Def stand up. Buy a organizer from samorga or something like that to keep the shape from the bottom up.
So helpful! DMed you on IG with a bunch of questions instead xo
I plan to buy one but not sure which size to go..

hi! just wondering is your 21p caramel leaves a water marks?
Your pants are so nice!!!
Thank you?! 😄

@@Handbagholic I don’t have an SA I think I might struggle x
@@lv_lover3393 Just call the store or customer services and they'll get one to message you x
@@Handbagholic yeah I tried today but no answer probably extra busy because of bank holiday x
I probably made as much research as you have in buying them as well. For such an expensive investment I have to
Definitely a good move Tracy! What was your final decision?
May I ask about the black tweed, is the color going to be faded by time ?
Hi there. No the colour shouldn’t fade. I’ve had mine over a year now and it still looks new!
If they make a mini ill buy
They are so expensive………… Maybe I‘ll get one preloved
Yes I’d get one pre-loved if I got any more
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Are you sure that’s small? It looks medium!
Anyway gorgeous bags
Are you sure? I checked their website and it looks like there is the regular (hers) and the large one. No medium. The length is 26 cm.
