I'm very sorry if this is a dumb question or the wrong thread to post in, but is there any place where I could easily see every color of 19? Alternatively is there more than one gold version of this bag? I've seen pics where the gold 19 looks like a sparkling champagne and pics where it looks more like a matte/brushed gold. Is it just different lighting? TIA!

Yes, there is more than one gold version :)
I just bought mine and saw both golds.

Joining the Chanel 19 club! Honestly I did not like it at all when I first saw it. Now, almost 2 years in, I finally started looking at it more (mainly because I have been buying most of the other “classic” bags and kinda ran out of variety to buy). I saw this in store and fell in love with it. However, I am still not sure if I should have gone for the classic black and gold combination (I am a very boring person). If I really love a bag, I don’t mind getting a second one in black again later but otherwise, I’m just afraid I might not love it as much and one is already too many (and if I only want to keep one, black gold seems the way to go). I have not brought my new bag out and don’t see an opportunity to do so anytime soon (I live in Singapore and we have recently rolled out partial lock down again to control covid spread due to variant from India) and do have concerns about the bag becoming squishy - any long users since 2019 can share your thoughts and condition of your Chanel 19 2 years later?
Should I keep the gold or go get a credit note and wait for black if I only intend to get one? Appreciate any insight lovely ladies from purseblog can give me as I started my Chanel collection after lurking in the forums for a long time before I finally made the plunge on my first Chanel bag after I got out of University and landed my first job. Since then, I always come back here for advice and opinions before I make the plunge to get another bag.

Stay safe everyone

It depends. What are your clothes like? Gold is easily pairable as well. I say keep. However if you want something more timeless get the black.

Mainly grey black and white. I do wear floral dresses from time to time too. That’s why I thought gold will be able to add a good dimension to my outfits. If I really end up liking the Chanel 19, I don’t mind getting a second one in black but my only worry is I won’t fancy it as much and in such case, I rather be stuck with a black than gold (because I really don’t bother to sell my Chanel since I feel fashion comes around and I might end up liking it one day since people’s taste change with time). Ah, the dilemma. I cannot even go out and try my new bag to see how I will like it because Singapore is back to being on partial lock down :sad:

If you loved the gold when u tried it on, keep. It’s a seasonal color so it’s harder to get :)

Hi! I’m looking to get a black large 19..do you guys think I should go for goat or lambskin?! Does anyone know which is more durable?! Thanks :flowers:

I have both, and while the lambskin is pretty durable, the goatskin is more durable imo - and I can see it holding it shape better than lamb. But, definitely not downing the lamb - it feels and looks incredible!
