It already looked dated when it came out… and it looks way more dated now.

If you got it when it first came out — keep it since it’s a functional bag and could be useful for casual days when you’re running errands. However, in 2025, I’ll skip and will buy something else.
 
I have one and for what it's worth, I feel that one is enough for me. I managed to get the so black version and while I don't wear it as often as my classic flaps, I still enjoy it and reach for it when I want something "edgy". I toyed with adding another one in dark grey, but have since decided against it as I find it to be a more casual bag, and the color I have lends to that feeling.
 
I think it's a terrific bag. I have one in black and used it on a week long trip. It holds plenty and feels very secure. I didn't find the chains too heavy either after waking almost 17k steps a day. Best part is I got caught in the rain with it and the water just wipes right off without leaving any marks. I didn't feel that it looks dated in anyway and it pairs really well with jeans or a casual dress. I don't find it too puffy and the top handle chain always falls behind the bag and doesn't even show. I really disliked it at first but now it's become a favorite.
 
I love mine and I don’t care what people think about my 19. I have 22 and 25 and I don’t want to stress my self when I use them on year 2026, 2027 and so on..
Wear what you love and don’t worry about others.. :heart:
ps: I am surprise my 19 still look new after I use it many times. Mine is lambskin and no scratches at all. Perfect daily bag.
