19 Flap Bag Club!

I tried to get the black small and I was told it was sold out! I did end up buying the houndstooth. I love this bag and hope everyone who bought one is enjoying it

I prefer the houndstooth so I think that was a great choice!

Yes, what you said makes sense - I do have the Boy Bag which would satisfy the need for an edgier bag. Is your photo in this thread?

I didn’t post it to this thread and don’t remember where I put it. I’ll include it here.

On a positive note, my amazing SA let me exchange my defective bag and helped me find a perfect replacement. I discovered after carrying the bag that the inner pocket (inside the flap) wasn’t completely sewn in. I posted a picture about 10 posts back. I am very happy with the outcome! Chanel did stand by their quality!

Wow! I love it. It’s definitely a statement bag. Is this the small size?

Yes, this is the small size but it so very roomy. It holds more than my m/l classic and my medium 2.55.

Yes, probably because it’s less structured and a soft leather. It looks amazing!

Thanks! Good luck with your decision! Keep us posted on what you decide.

Looks amazing! I can't get over how nice the leather is. So soft, yet holds its shape. AND so roomy!

I got the small too but am wondering if I should exchange for the medium (if I can find one!). The small fits TONS, but I am thinking I want a size closer to the Jumbo. But, I was only able to see the small size irl. Has anyone seen both? Any advice on if the medium is simply too big?

Honestly, if I could, I would get all 3 sizes! lol And maybe a green tweed...

I just bought the Trendy CC after trying to decide between the Trendy and the classic flap in M/L. My SA brought this out in black but because it wasn’t one of the contenders, I dismissed it. I’m now wondering if I should exchange my Trendy for this as I can’t stop thinking about it. Any thoughts?

I have the black Trendy CC and the small black 19 flap. They are quite different in their styles and function. The Trendy is more formal and seems to be more delicate (the leather, that is). It's very structured and the interior has all the organized compartments. It does have some edgy-ness with the metal plate along the top.

The 19, by contrast, has much more durable (yet unbelievably soft) leather and feels more casual and edgy. The interior of the 19 is one big space (no double flaps or sections - other than the zipper compartment, which I don't count). When I hold it I honestly just want to squish it like a big pillow!

Both have the top handle, but the Trendy allows you to remove the strap (not an option with the 19). The strap drop length is much shorter on the Trendy, which looks better when worn on the shoulder but doesn't allow you to crossbody (which you can with the 19).

So...they are very different but both are FAB. Good luck on your decision!

I love the look of this bag although I would have to see it in person to decide whether I would pull the trigger. I found a picture of Arielle Charnas the blogger wearing it, and one of the bag squishing into itself!

Hello , is this large or small size ? Looks so perfect

The one on Arielle C. carrying the baby? That's the large.

Thanks! I literally had to force myself to take it out of rotation this weekend so I could give another bag some love too lol

I’ve not seen the black in medium but have seen the turquoise in medium. It’s swoon worthy. How tall are you? I tried on both the small black and the medium turquoise. I felt like the turquoise was too big for me. I’m only 5 feet tall.

I'm 5'5". Did you find the medium chain length much longer than the small? THX!
