Hey guys I need your opinion! I purchased the gorgeous pink 19 flap 2 weeks ago, but just saw that Chanel is coming out with a brighter more neon pink color for Spring 2. I am thinking of returning the one I bought and buying the newer pink. Here are pics of the bag I already have, along with photos of the new pink. What are your thoughts on the color? Also has anyone seen the new pink in person? thanks in advance!

Here is a comparison shot of the two pinks...

I love the brighter pink! What do you guys think???

I prefer the pink you own. The neon pink is too trendy imo. Both look good, depends on which kind of pink you prefer and whether you like the neon bright kind of pink.

I like your pink one better. Is there a way you can bring your pink and compare it to the 21S pink in the store?

Hi all!

Does anyone have the new Chanel 19 Flap Bag? I am so curious but haven't seen much information. It seems that Chanel is advertising it as the new Gabrielle, and one of Karl's last bags. At first glance I didn't get it at all, but upon further review on the Chanel site it is starting to grow on me (I'm a big fan of soft, pillowy bags!).

TIA!
Bag is really gorgeous. Love the casual look, Very effortless. Chic and cool. Running out of adjectives to say how much i like this bag
 
I wonder, though, back to when the Gabrielle was released. It was not a style we had seen anywhere before and was not welcomed with opened arms by the Chanel community. It took a few years and some hand-on use before it grew to icon status. I feel like this bag needs some time before it is declared a fail. And, as this was Karl's last design, I think it may prove to be quite great!
Yes. I totally agree, so far the influencer circle is loving it. Let us see if the community will love this

I would keep the pink that you currently have. It’s a classic pink and can be styled easily. The neon pink is too trendy.

Keep us posted on your decision!

Does anyone know if there is another beige coming for 21S?

Based on what I’ve seen in other threads, there will be a dark beige in addition the the lighter beige. The dark beige looks similar to the 20c version, but I have yet to see any real life picture of it. Some people in other threads have reserved the dark beige, but I don’t think they’ve received them yet, so I’m not sure when they’re expected to arrive.

I love the look of the 19 bag. I would like to add this as my second Chanel bag. I already own a Jumbo CF. I am just worried about how to wear it without the strap falling off from the shoulder. I dont wear bags in cross body style for a long time as I have shoulder problems. Any tips on how to deal with this issue? Has anyone tried placing a sticker or something similar to stop it from falling? Or is it a bad idea to get one if I dont cross body wear?
I tried the large/medium one too but the strap was falling worse for it likely because of the weight. Since I have the jumbo already, I would like to add a smaller casual bag. And the small 19 seems like a perfect one. I also tried the coco but the strap was not staying for it either. Also I am scared of the sharp corner wear on the coco.
TIA!

So this is what I’d realised. I tried the small 19 in store and it kept falling off my shoulder. I bought it nevertheless as I was fine to carry it by the handle or crossbody. I took it out for the first time and packed it full. Surprisingly due to the weight of the bag, it didn’t slide off my shoulders at all, but it could have also been because of the off shoulder top I was wearing - vs a sleeved top when I tried in store. Under the weight of the bag, the shoulder pad moulded to the shape of my shoulders and I felt like over time it would be shaped to help it to stay on the shoulders even if not packed full. It wasn’t that heavy when I packed it full either, just a bag organizer, a long wallet, earphones, tissue and a light t shirt. When I tried in store, the bag only had my long wallet and phone in it.

I would totally recommend the small as it is roomy enough. I contemplated for a long time between the m/l size and small - glad that I got the small size as it did look just nice when packed full. I could imagine the bigger size looking too bulky for my frame (I’m 5,2) if packed full. If not packed full, then the m/l will likely sag overtime. Packing the small almost full helps to prevent sagging too.

Ohhhh its squishing. Will that affect the bag’s integrity and wear/tear in the long run?

If you don’t like the squished look then a bag organizer is highly recommend. I have one for my bag and it really helps to keep the shape when you are carrying it around or storing it. Samorga is a popular brand for the organizer.

This makes perfect sense! I am actually not petite and I was hesitant to get a small but your comment makes me confident to buy one. Actually the large size looked quite bulky on me too. I can imagine how much more bulkier it will look when it is full. THANK YOU! :)
