Congrats!!! I am really loving this color with the reverse HW!
I posted these photos in the 22c thread and thought I share here as well. I didn’t realize that the hardware colors would be different. I love the reverse hardware more now! Here’s the 21k caramel/brown vs 22c gray/gris. The leather on both feels the same, super soft and supple! The hardware on the gray is brushed silver, brushed gold and light gold. I didn’t realize it had light gold! I actually love the light gold against the gray!

Thanks for sharing! Does the gray have green undertones? The gray looks gorgeous in your photos, I was a bit nervous about green undertones from the pre-launch leaked photos in boutique lighting...what do you think of the color IRL? I'm really excited for the reverse hardware! Thanks in advance for your feedback.
You’re welcome! The gray in the photos is what the bag looks like irl! The pics were taken in natural lighting, no flash. It really is a gorgeous gray! I too was worried about it having green undertones as that’s not what I was going for. I will say in dimmer lighting it does look cement with slight green undertones but it really is only when it’s dark or the lighting is bad. Overall what you see in the pics is what you get. I actually love the order color of the reverse hardware. I was so surprised to see the light gold! The silver against the gray really blends nicely! Hopefully you will have a chance to see it in person? Let us know what you think. Hopefully someone will post pics of the black with reverse hw soon!
I just want to share. The samorga insert I bought for my Chanel 19 small fits perfectly and helps keep the shape. I’ve also attached a photo of with and without the insert.

I have a denim one in size Medium and I think the best sizes are small or medium as largest size gets very heavy and does not hold it's shape well.Lovely ladies which is the best size to get in the 19 bag ? I don't have a Chanel Boutique in my city here in Australia so I can't try them out to see what suits me best.
Thanks
Hi ladies,
Just purchased a Black Chanel 19 whilst travelling through Heathrow yesterday. I asked in the boutique if it was goatskin and the SA said yes but the product code is lambskin when I have checked it on line. It is gorgeous and beautifully soft so I think it is likely to be lambskin. I am a bit terrified on Chanel lambskin so wondering if anyone has any experience of this on a 19 ? Thanks xxx

Same thing happened to me SA sent me a black chanel 19 in June and said it’s was goatskin but it was lambskin - was considering to return but started to look at all the goatskin bags on you tube and reseller sites and many are wrinkled and mor slouched so I kept it. I admit it took me to last week to wear it (due to co-vid and still limiting wear I go) but also was a little afraid of the lambskin. I took it to lunch and shopping at the mall and I was in and out of the back pocket and no scratches at all due to my nails or ring. I took off my coat and I dropped it !!!! I picked it up as soon as it hit the floor and no marks or scratches!!! Thank God it dropped standing up!! I would advise getting a Zoomoni organizer - it fits as good as Samorga but you get it much faster. I also bought a lightweight base shaper from M Boutique -see Oxana’s you tube. I think both kept it standing when dropped!
Thanks so much for your reply. That's reassuring to hear. Certainly from what people are saying on line it seems less delicate than the lambskin on classic flaps. I will def get an organiser for it and I will check out the base shaper also. Thanks for your advice xx
How did you realize it was lambskin? I realized that I have no idea whether my 19 is lambskin or goatskin
when I bought it earlier this year I didn’t realize it came in goatskin. if I had to guess I would say it’s lambskin. It’s crazy soft and smooth.
Yea goatskin definitely seemed the same as lambskin to me tooHow did you realize it was lambskin? I realized that I have no idea whether my 19 is lambskin or goatskin
quick question for you all---I just bought a light beige small 19 and am now wondering if I should return it---for those of you who have this color or lighter color bags, do you wear it with black/navy/grey? And in the winter? I'm concerned that this will not be an all season bag for me. Thank you in advance!
I have a beige 19 as well and I actually prefer to wear with darker colors/grey just to make it pop lol. I think it can be worn all year long, but I'm also not one to really care what season it is
