Hi it fits as much as the Reissue / Rect minis on YouTube review videos. I didn’t cram it with the sunglasses though. I haven’t used my minis at all - my day bag is a preloved 226 (so carefree!).
I liked the feel of the iridescent leather - was informed it’s calfskin (not lamb but if you able to reconfirm w/ the SA, that would be terrific!)
I like that it felt smooth and supple. I felt reassured knowing it should wear well being calfskin (at least until reconfirmation!)
It feels lighter than the other minis I have tried on when filled; and there’s less pull on the shoulder despite the thinner chain strap. Hope this quick overview helps.

I picked it up today and so in love. It’s so adorable and really love the style and leather hw combo. I asked my SA again and she said lamb but not sure how to check. I looked at several of the same bag and each had a different sheen/leather grain/texture. It was kind of crazy. I think with this iridescent glaze plus the softness of this bag the leather shows differently. So definitely good to pick from several! I went with the display one as it had a matte finish. Some were more shiny and grainy.

Congrats! We are bag twins now! The look is very versatile - cute, dressy, casual chic. And it’s so lightweight! Hard to believe as the leather looks so thick & sturdy. Under different lighting, bag shows varying colour shade, but yours look so rich black, which I love as well. Mine was the only new piece in store; the display piece did look a little grainier on photos.
My SA scanned the QR code on the product tag and it apparently said calfskin. The material code (and other codes) are seasonal - so they don’t appear on those collated by some online sites, as I tried to reconfirm. But I am inclined to believe it’s calfskin, even though it might have been treated to feel buttery like lamb.. That’s another reason I fell in love with mine. Enjoy your bag!

I finally decided to keep the 20c...the 20c has a pink coral hue that I adore and it’s such a cool size (small). the 19b is perfect tone but the one I got was clearly a returned and used bag. It is kind of squished at the top, a tad deflated, and the tag serial number on tag was removed. It had crumbs inside. It was the last one so I know beggars can’t be choosers but I just can’t pay that for a used bag. It’s not the fault of the SA as she never had the bag in hand. She had to email a warehouse to get it sent to me. I also think I’d prefer yellow gold vs champagne gold although that’s not a deal breaker. I love the burgundy too but I saw photos of last years with the aged gold hardware and it’s much prettier with that so I’m just going to hope they do it again in 2020. This bag was also a returned and previously used bag (no stickers, serial number cut off of tag and hand written on back) and also the last one in the country so I really got the short end of the stick with those two bags. If I was desperate I’d keep both but I think I’ll hold out. It’s a shame ppl are able to use a bag and return them. I’ve returned a couple but I never wore them and removed stickers and tags when I returned them so it’s crazy to me they’d accept them and send them out to someone paying full price for a NEW bag.

Ouch that’s s*ck! How can people return used bag (unless it’s defective) and how can Chanel just re-sell them as new! In europe, we’re given 30 days return for store credit, never refund unless we can argue there’s defect on the bag. I must say I like that rule, making people wiser when buying and returning bags. But I also read a lot here that people return bag because clearly there’s something wrong or defect on the bag (it could be new or been used few times) but Chanel just blatantly put the bag back on the shelf for sale rather than fixing the issue. One time I told my SA to keep eyes on specific bag in case somebody return it but she said return is very rare and if any, we must wait to buy until it’s being released by their examiner. I’m not sure how correct is that information. I agree 100% with you on keeping the perfect one. All shades are gorgeous despite personal preference we all have. And I agree maroon with aged hw would be awesome!

That’s a much better policy to have in place. I spoke to customer service about it because I’ve had this happen a few times now and it’s disappointing. I almost kept them because I do love the colors and I worry Chanel won’t have anything else I like in the colors again but I just couldn’t stomach paying that for a used bag basically. The packaging on the red one was missing most of the tissue and neither had the normal felt pieces that come with the classic flap. It would have made for a terrible unboxing video LOL.

That is really terrible. I’m happy you decided you love the color though! I think it’s very chic! Congratulations.
