I have mine just about at a year a 20s light beige lambskin and i wore it as my daily bag pretty much the entire time. It has worn extremely well no corner wear, color transfer or sagging. The strap has molded to my shoulder it never slides off. It’s the most comfortable, roomy and easiest bag I’ve owned. I hope it sticks around once you own one you get the appeal. I hate wearing flaps now they’re so cumbersome. I just got the caramel one too i can’t wait till it relaxes like this one...View attachment 4994118

Thank you! I love this color as well. Is there no color transfer at all? So sagging on the corners and where the chains hold up? Thank you!!

Hi Everyone,
I am looking into purchasing this bag. I love the look of it! Can someone who has had this bag over maybe a year let me know how its holding up? Are the corners sagging or losing its shape? Thats the only thin thats holding me back from purchasing. I know its eventually going to sag, but I just want to know how much and how well it hold up. Thanks!

I too have the 20S light beige lambskin in the medium/large size and it has held up very well, and I don't baby it too much. I purchased a Samorga organizer for it for less sagging and helps to keep the structure, although the pillowy slouchy look is what the 19 was made for. The exterior back pocket is super roomy with a magnet and great for quick access where I keep my iphone 12 pro max. I find the 19 bag more easy-going, chill, dress down or up vs the classic flaps. Hope that helps!

After dreaming about a Chanel bag for years, I finally got my first ever Chanel for my birthday. I always thought it would be a classic flap, but after seeing the 19 in store I was totally in love.
Thanks for letting me share it here!

Congrats on your first Chanel. That’s a great choice as a first bag as it’s much easier to use than the CF (I have both and rarely reach for the CF these days). :)

Being only 1.57m (5 ft 2) tall, the small Chanel 19 flap bag chain was simply too long for me,
After 3 days to bringing this baby out, was starting to think maybe I should have bought the medium size with shorter chain instead..

But i loved this small size which is perfect for me, i could stuff a small umbrella, a classic Chanel wallet, 2 packets of tissue & wet wipes, sunglasses and a whole lot of other items~

After shortening the chain, I can now say my Chanel 19 is the perfect everyday bag for me now :love: 20210220_224731.jpg20210221_145826.jpg20210221_145940.jpg

Hello and question for 19 tweed owners. Bought the black tweed yesterday and upon closer inspection today (with better lighting), I found about 4 of these thread loops. Is this normal? Thank you

I’ve been avoiding the 19 since it came out because the big chains were a little too much for me but I’ve finally decided to try on a maxi black 19 last night at Chanel and boy I fell in love HARD. The maxi size is perfect for me!

I didn’t buy it yet though because I was worried it’s going to be one of those spur of the moment purchases. I’ll wait for a week and if I’m still in love with it and it’s still available (must be new stock and not a floor sample lol) then it’s meant to be. We shall see!
