21C does not look peachy in both of your pics...looks more blush pink cool/neutral which I like...am I seeing it accurately?
I prefer the 19S pink, which I think is more of a true pink and close to the classic series 8-9 pink. It is beautiful in person, the iridescence makes it more unique, and it was one of Karl Lagerfeld’s final collections.
Honestly, I would love the 21C rose clair if they were billing it as a beige instead of a pink because I prefer lighter-toned beiges to the more yellow-toned classic beige clair. It just strikes me as a beige with pink undertones. Even the name seems to suggest it began life in Chanel as a beige, only some canny person in the marketing department must have said to call it a pink instead.

Yes it’s a pale pink which i think is truly neutral - it’s not blue/cool toned or peachy/warm toned
The 14c is very similar but a bit more cool toned
I was a bit worried the 21C would be peachy as I mail ordered it as Chanel is shut in the Uk but it’s perfect
Between 19S and 21C - even though I love both, 21C is much much prettier
In fact, of all my chanel bags (and I have a lot of rare/unicorns like the 17b rose) - the 21C is my favourite by far
The 19S pink is very very similar to the 8-9 pink
Having got the 21C and I also have quite a few beige Chanel bags I can say that it’s not beige in any way - it’s a true pale baby pink
The photos online may look beige but it’s certainly not in real life.
Okay here is 21c compared to my 18s light pink.
The 21c is pretty but slightly chicken skin vibes! It's a pretty soft nude pink that leans slightly warm imo

I don’t think 21C rose clair is peachy, but it’s a really really pale pink and i wish it’s slightly more saturated.
I think the 19S is a better pink and with edge stitching for the flap! Maybe it would be more classic if without the iridescence and made in grained calf instead of grained lamb, but in my opinion it’s a better “pink” than the rose clair.
I also like the 20A rose better than the rose clair - I am a fan of saturated colors!

I love your 18S pink! Does it look lilac in real life?
It feels that a lot IG photos of the rose clair actually looks like the 18S pink

Thank you! 18s is definitely a cool toned baby pink! Not super lilac in real lifeView attachment 4979311View attachment 4979313

Omg “chicken skin vibes” kiiills me! I feel like a lot of photos have been doctored to make 21C pink look more pink than it actually is, because some photos just make me think of Band-Aids...
Good to know! The nice thing about 19S is that it is a pink that gives you assurance of a pink. No surprises when it comes to photos v. real life.
To each their own but despite the hype surrounding 21C rose clair I’m still loyal to the 19S because it’s a true pink to me. I will say that the leather is thinner with calfskin v. caviar, but it also looks more classic with the edge-stitching. Honestly, though, I’m sure the OP will be able to find enough reasons to justify having both.
Non of them. The 19S has somewhat of an unfavorable pink and the 21C gives me milk carton vibes.
That's deff the vibe here! Haha. It's pretty for sure, but that's what it looks like.
