Thanks so much for this thread! I purchased my first Chanel 19 navy yesterday and was slightly disappointed it was lamb and not goat. I think the maxi came in goat and medium/small lamb this season. The lamb is really stunning and it feels different than the lamb classics I’ve felt. The classics i would never buy because they feel like they will rip to me. This lamb feels very durable. My SA actually thought it was goat until she checked. I have only seen a beige goatskin and did feel it looked “flatter” more matte than the lamb. I echo everyone’s comments that the lamb looks luxurious. Both are beautiful but the lamb definitely caught my eye. I’m happy to hear so many here feel the same. I dont think you can go wrong with either. So happy i got the navy! I didn’t want black but wanted the low maintenance of black. Navy definitely hits the mark. It’s actually a dark inky blue. The lighting in store makes it look more ashy tones but in person it almost looks black. Like a bluish-black. Best color in the 19 imo! Congratulations to everyone who found their dream bag.
