I was actually hoping it would be a different shade since I already have 21P NB356 (19 & CCH). Always wanting to add more of these beautiful tones to my collection… but I don’t need the exact same color. When my advisor sent me the internal pic for the 21k 19, I was taken back… it’s literally the EXACT same picture they used for the 21P internal picture. Why would they use the exact same picture for a different shade, even if only slightly off? So my advisor and I did some investigating lol. She showed me the 21K NB356 brown wallets today. Even though I was hoping for a different shade of handbag, silver linings… I can now get a matching wallet for my 21P 19. It’s a perfect match!

I too was skeptical, we know Chanel does not repeat colors, so how can this be??? They will even use the same color code for completely different tones, we have all seen this. But it’s been revealed and confirmed, Chanel will do what they want lol.


look closely, they are the exact same image!

Here is the picture my advisor gave me when 21Ks buy book was released! The 21K brown NB356:

This is a screenshot I took of the 21P 19 Brown NB356 on Chanel website (look at date stamp Feb 6th and same color code):

I noticed the website screenshot pic I took washed out when I uploaded it, so I cropped it smaller. You can see the coloring better this way.:

Amazing detective work. Thanks for sharing with us.

Sorry you don’t get to have another C19 caramel shade. Glad you get the matching wallet to go with it. :biggrin:

I love it. However, it might also just been the way your/out screen shows the colors. I remember the neon pink. In real life it didn’t look anything like the pictures.

Just not what i was hoping for!! I prefer milky white pastels :sad: this seems to have a gray undertone.

this is giving me flashbacks of the 21c light blue. It ended up a lot darker irl than the promo pics.

Is it just me or does the leather on the adjustable chain caviar minis look off? To me it looks almost fake…like too puffy and soft. I’m really curious what the quality is like IRL

That's what I thought too! I have lambskin mini and they really do feel so delicate and luxurious. But I do want one caviar mini for everyday use, since it's more sturdy and scratch-proof.

But seeing the photos of the black and blue bags of 21K, I'm not so sure.

Can someone share a comparison of previous season caviar mini and the 21K adjustable caviar mini?

1. Are there any quality control issues with this colorway? Or maybe it's the lighting?
I've seen Youtube videos where the colors are much paler (primarily white with purple/blue) than the primary gray-blue and purple pictured below.
2. Besides the classic flap, are there any SLGs with perforated lambskin in light purple, blue, white with silver toned metal?
21K perforated lambskin and silver toned metal.jpglight purple, blue, yellow 1.png<-- Maybe just light purple?
I might be seeing something that isn't there. It's the lighting.​

I have noticed that the leathers on the season bags and the classic bags are often very different. Well, each season even for the same bag the leathers are different anyway but more so if they are a seasonal vs classic. Also each color of the same bag in the same season sometimes is different in the leather too. Take the mini pearl crush vs the mini timeless classic. Their leathers have totally different look and feel. The mini timeless classic is puffier and more structure. The pearl crush is flatter and much softer. I support it depends on your preference. From the look of the picture the black and blue with adjustable chain will be softer and squishier than the mini timeless classic. I could be wrong. Just my observation.

Yes, I know. I wrote "C19" in that post. C19 is short for Chanel 19.
Basically... we're in agreement. :smile:

Thanks for the clarification, although I am familiar with Chanel designations, such as C19. I think we are misunderstanding each other’s posts.
I am just happy for the ladies that missed 21P C19 NB356 Color released, that we will have the chance again in 21K. :smile:

Yes right that the first pics looked a little more washed out? Now I can see the beautiful toffee rich color from 21P. I am excited about the C19 for 21K. I think I am going to add my first C19 Wallet as well @CouldThsBeLove thanks for the pics and info!

as per the quiz… ummm I think I am getting an F lol. Right is 21K and left 21P? Lol
