A few months ago I stopped into the Chanel boutique within a Nieman Marcus just “to look” and I told the SA that I had a classic flap and that I would like eventually like to get an every day bag, probably a small rectangular. She asked me about my lifestyle and whether I am a mom (I am). She said wait here….and went and pulled out this Chanel 19 and said THIS is much better as an every day bag because it fits so much more. I tried it on. DANGEROUS MOVE. And fell in love! I haven’t used it all that much since buying it but in the last week it has finally turned into my every day bag. Still so glad I made that completely unplanned purchase!

Congrats! I have the same exact bag and absolutely love it. I think the smallest size is the best, and don't find it heavy at all. Such a beauty. Enjoy!
Hi all, last week i was considering getting myself a large black 19 with reversed hardware, but was concerned about it being too big on my frame. Today i went to the boutique and saw this beautiful light greenish grey, also with reversed hardware. So i went and bought this one instead. Hope i've made the right decision

This grey with reversed HW is beautiful! You made the right choice, the black is too large IMHO. Small size is just perfect
Hi… please can someone tell me how many grey is out there.. also 21a and 21b grey .. are they similar? Thank you..
So after being in Vegas last weekend I’m on the Chanel 19 bandwagon. I have a white WOC chain and now I’m in the market for a small. I carried my medium classic and was shocked that the Chanel 19 small was able to fit more. I have black classics and boy so thinking a gray or beige
in the 19. Should I wait for beige with Gold interlocking CC’s instead of silver? Also, is the beige crochet too springy/summery?

May I ask you guys whether you use your Chanel 19 in a rain or snow (in lamb- or goatskin)? I’m asking because would love to have an everyday Chanel bag which I can use for work and which would be carefree. So I wonder whether 19 could be such a bag as I admire its design. thanks a lot in advance! 
I have the small 19 in goatskin and wore it in the snow yesterday without any issues. The leather on the 19 is coated so it’s more durable than on other Chanel bags.May I ask you guys whether you use your Chanel 19 in a rain or snow (in lamb- or goatskin)?

I wore mine in lamb in snow and also no issue. I would probably be afraid if it was a light colour, but with black it's fine. That is true, this lambskin on 19 is totally different from the flaps. Seems to be much more durable and less delicate but still buttery and so beautiful!Thank you so much for sharing! I’m very happy to read this
I think it's al our preferences, I love silver hardware, and would for sure keep this one! Few more photos of this beauty in beige and I will be buying it but I should not!
Thank you very much hun!
I’m truly relieved! 
I already have a classic caviar WOC and mini rectangular flap in lambskin, but I don’t find them suitable for every day use and wish so much to have a chanel bag to enjoy every day! So 19 seems to be the perfect choice. Chanel 19 in small black color in reverse (if still available) or classic gold HW is definitely on my WL for 2022!
Great choice! That’s also exactly what I wanted, and it has met my all expectations. I’s the best chanel bag for a daily use in my opinion. I also have a medium CF in caviar but I barely use it. I find it too elegant for everyday. With 19 it doesn’t matter what I wear or where I go - I know it will always looks good. It can be casual, sporty or elegant - anything we want!Thank you very much hun!
Oh thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and experience!
This bag is definitely on my radar. I’ve currently splurged a bit on LV, so hope to add 19 in the next couple of months! 
Can't recommend the 19 enough, on every level. Was briefly caught in the rain today with my black goatskin 19. No issues at all. As mentioned, the coating likely helps here!May I ask you guys whether you use your Chanel 19 in a rain or snow (in lamb- or goatskin)?
