hey there! I have 2 different colors in the exact same size and I didn’t find it repetitive for my collection. I loved the black so much that I wanted a lighter color for spring/summer. For me the 19 fits my lifestyle the best — I am pretty casual, LOVE the crossbody option, fits SO much, and that back pocket!! I wear them out on errands, casual dinners/outings with friends, shopping, and it’s the perfect bag to take on travel. I feel like if you really love a style and it works for you then having it in multiple colors is no big deal - people do it with the classic flaps all the time! That grey you referenced is gorgeous!!
Thanks for your thoughts! I guess I just need some reassurance I'm not nuts to want the same style but different colour. Haha
I do love how versatile the 19 bag is. The black for winter and the grey for spring summer
 
Has anyone purchased the Chanel 19 in the 21A White? Any thoughts on it? I saw it in person and it’s a pretty off white. Please let me know your thoughts because purchasing my first White Bag makes me nervous.
 
I am planning to purchase my first 19 but I am torn between the two sizes - the small or the medium. I think small looks better crossbody which is how I really prefer to wear my bags. And it fits a decent amount / more than my Gucci marmont. I’m 5’6 for reference. Can you ladies advise me on which size you personally prefer in this style.

I have both size and love both. Small definitely cross body better but on days where I need to carry a bit more then I go with the medium and shoulder carry it. With the top handle chain, I do surprisingly find myself carrying the bag with the top handle chain a lot more too! Some days I'd do that vs cross body or shoulder. For reference I have pix of me trying out the small and medium 21A grey. I have a black medium already so I ended up going with the small. I'm 5'6 as well and the medium sits a tad higher than I'd prefer but on a bind and needing hands free, I don't mind putting it cross body

Thanks so much for your detailed reply and pics! They both do look great on you!

I’m 5”8 (pretty slim) so the small looks great and proportional! The large looks a little like luggage on me. The small is also more versatile in my opinion, it goes with casual and dressier looks while the large size is more limited to just casual.

Got my first 19 bag! Decided on the small size in black and just can’t stop looking at it! Also noticed that the price tag said $5,600 so I’m pretty sure that will be the new price starting July!
My SA is currently transferring a small white 19 for me and I really hope it arrives before the increase! Unfortunately I can not pay before it arrives to their store. Someone just posted that the small 19 will increase by 600$!

Hopefully you are able to get it before then. This bag has been increasing like crazy and only out for 2 years.
