My SA offered me the black beauty C19 , it is very gorgeous though it is in black and hints of silver hw. The handle is the leather interwoven with chain ,not all black chain. I went there to pick up my other bag which I already paid since last week. This is stunning but as my SA had to attend to another customer,I told her that I will consider though that is last piece. They have few pieces came in today morning. Somehow the price is very steep for me to think hard as I am also struggling between this or another so black bag from LV men collection. I know LV bags is carefree type and Chanel bag always seem delicate. I want something I can wear it daily and carefree..dilemma . Sharing the pic in case anyone keen in the so black version

Been waiting for it since Dec 2021 but none of my SA be it from MBS or NAC offered me one thus far even when they know I've been asking about it constantly... :sad:

So sorry to hear that. Guess luck might played a part when stock arrives. My SA offered me first the denim 19 and then few weeks later the so black version which arrived very late to the boutiques as many 22P stuff tickling in very slowly this time. I have declined it both coz I am not 100% sure of the denim and the so black is very beautiful, definitely my preferred hardware color but the price makes me hesitated. Maybe you can try again as there might be stock coming in and very slowly. Sending you :heart: and luck over your way.

would you share where you’re located? I was looking for the So Black 19 but kinda gave up since it seemed so unlikely.

Yes, I wanted goatskin too, because I thought it was more robust, but now I‘m so glad I got lambskin. If you go to fashionphile you will see that the goatskin bags are quite wrinkled:
The lambskin ones all look good except one, but that one is from 2020 and I think it might actually be goatskin too.
Also, there is a lady on youtube who compares the two leathers:

Yes! I bought the large goatskin in 2020 and just sold it because (1) it was too big and (2) it looked worn out already and I take really good care of my bags. Just ordered the small black lambskin and can't wait.

Hi all! What’s the current price of a medium black Chanel 19? Would you say this is a good “every day” bag. I wouldn’t wear it everyday, but I would make this my go bag for errands and normal use.
$5700. I bought it precisely for that purpose, i.e. an everyday bag. I absolutely love it. It literally works with every outfit. Loved it so much, bought two colors.
 
Thank you! Is it big enough for everyday? I can’t decide between the medium and large size.
I use mine as an everyday bag as well. I guess it depends on how much you have to cart around but the smaller 19 definitely fits all the essentials and in my opinion, looks much better than the Large size. But again, everyone has different tastes!

I think it's plenty big enough. I had several opportunities to get the large and I just thought it was too big. And that's coming from a curvy girl! Lol. The small looks so much better to me. That being said, I may end up with a large down the road. Who knows.
 
The small/medium size fits all of my essentials: long wallet, keys, sunglasses, small vanity pouch, and phone. I tried the large on, and while I did like the extra room, it looks kind of funny because the weight of the bag makes the flap part look funny. Since the straps are on top of the bag, instead of the sides, it really hangs and there's a significant gap at the flap. So, IMO, the large looks kinda funny in that way.

Lamb (top left) vs. goatskin (bottom right) for anyone who wants a comparison. I sold my large 19 in favor of the smaller size as it works more with my life. I take really good care of my bags (keep them on shelves, stuffed with tissue paper, use Samorga inserts, etc.) and I feel like my goatskin bag, despite seeming more durable than the lambskin, didn't age well. I got that bag in Dec. 2020, for reference. Here's to hoping the lambskin fairs better!
