I think the price is about the same - but beware - Fashionphile is listing some of the 19 bags that have the gold plate inside and no authenticity card as GOATSKIN - the plate started in spring of 2021 and all the 19s since then are LAMBSKIN! - you can even tell their lambskin as they are not wrinkled. I called them about it about 8 months ago and they assured me I was right and that they have were so sorry and she would make their team aware of the fact - but still they have not corrected their errors.
Hi. Chanel newbie here. I have this bag on the way to me. So this one is lambskin then?

Does anyone has any suggestions or pic of how they store the long strap on the 19? I want to make sure the strap doesn’t indent the bag. I find myself spending too much time on how to figure out how to store properly. Thanks!
 
Hi friends - I am desperately seeking the chanel 19 in caramel. I understand some have gotten it in 23B and 23C versions - does that mean it still might be available in boutiques? I have found one secondhand that I was told is 20P, any ideas on that particular colour or how to verify if there wa a caramel then? This is a picture of the one being offered via consignment (20P) and as much as I want to love it I'm not sure this is the fabulous colour tone I want out of this bag because it looks a bit yellow-y to me. THe other one (without the hand) is the 21P. Can anyone speak to the various caramel colours of the 19s and any considerations I am missing? There are so many different colours I'm a bit overwhelmed - thanks for your patience oh wise ones! View attachment 5843255

View attachment 5843256Yes, that's the caramel colour alright.Chanel's colour and leather quality seems to vary over the different seasons.
I would say 21P has one of the best quality leather (very puffy and and substantial leather quality) in this caramel colour and I believe this was also the season that the caramel colour was first introduced

I put the strap inside the bag and I got a handle protector to wrap around the handle to prevent the handle from denting the bag. I also store it on its back so even if the handle protector came loose, it won’t get onto the bag.
So far so good, no dents after a year or so!
