Chanel Fall/Winter Act II 2021 (21K)

Congrats!! May I ask what’s that medium flap beside the C19 in the boutique picture? It looks like a brown too, is that your own bag?

Thanks lovely! That one’s not my bag. It’s from 21K i believe in lambskin and shw. The colour is a dark, rose pink with a brownish tone. This lambskin looks really matte with zero sheen. I actually like the colour but i just didnt like shw and that extra matte leather.

I totally understand. I just got my first one which is the caramel. I really did not see the point in this bag lol. It looked like those bags that the elders use to carry back in the day or a pillow with a strap. However my SA asked me to try one on in the store a couple months ago. I tried a black small and was super surprised how much I liked it. I didn’t get the black at the time, which I regret, but I couldn’t stop thinking of how much I liked it. I decided to reserve the caramel 19 for my first. Now that I’ve carried it all day and see how carefree it is I have to get more! It fits a lot and I can be hands free! I didn’t have to baby it either.

You should try it on if you can!

Hi lovely have you noticed any scratches from normal use so far? When you said “carefree and don’t have to baby it”, do you mean the leather is quite durable or you mean the colour is not prone to darkening?

Both! I definitively think the leather has been treated with something. I was drinking water and drops fell on it. I looked down and almost had a fit because the water fell on the front flap. The drops dried up instantly with no spots! That same day it started to drizzle a little and droplets got on the bag again but the dots dried up and left no spots. While I was putting my groceries in my car the bag swiped against my dirty trunk and the dust came right off. Its no wear near as porous as a vachetta leather, for reference.

I used the bag for about 14 hours straight that day, including going to a kids birthday party and a football party and it still is in the exact same condition as it was when pulled it out of the box.

What has been your experience so far?

According to Chanel the lambskin on all 19’s are not treated!

Good to know. The leather is just nice and durable all on its own.

As this thread goes so long, just wonder if anyone has seen this small CF in dark pink silver hardware? How is the caviar? Thanks.

I saw this at NM and took it home with me! It was so exhilarating to walk into a boutique and finally see something you love.

The caviar is very soft and mine had a cleft wrinkle on the flap. There is also a sheen on it (like a light coating?? It’d not matte) Then I saw other photos of it in Boutique Stock thread, and a lot of them also have some wrinkle on the flap. I guess the caviar is so soft and pliable that it’s prone to the wrinkling. Sounds like this batch of caviar is very soft, like the Perfect Flap iridescent ones that allll have wrinkles where the CC tab attaches to the flap.

Thank you so much for the detailed information! Congrats! May I ask if the pink is similar to red or shows blue tone as I see from the picture? I saw the same color code on lambskin vanity case, but seems it's a little different on caviar. It's beautiful and vibrant to me at least shown in the picture. Will check the stock thread to find more. Also the hardware seems light gold to me.

My iri pink wallet just arrived - it’s GORGEOUS!!! This is the first time I’ve seen the iri pink in person and I have to say that the color truly is stunning. @CouldThsBeLove was right saying that the color needs to be seen in person to see it’s true beauty lol. It’s unlike any shade of pink I’ve seen. I’m even more excited to get my medium iri pink flap now (whenever that will be lol). I plan on using this wallet as a clutch or adding a strap to it. Not the greatest pic due to bad lighting but here she is!

Gorgeous! The color on the medium will be different… but spectacular in my opinion. Truly the most unique pinks I have ever seen!

Small caviar cf in this season’s dark pink silver hardware, and the classic square mini with light gold hardware. I’m in love with the dark pink small flap and thought I always liked gold hardware more but something about this pairing is so wearable

Thank you! Speaking of the medium, finally saw the medium size on Red lol.

The color on that particular med looks just like the slg’s!? Could be the photo of corse, but it looks different than my mini iri pink. These little shimmering chameleons.

Lol… I was just going to say that! It definitely looks different than the iri pink mini… more like the SLGs as you pointed out. I’m happy either way, I think overall it’s a beautiful color… and I actually prefer it over 21S iri pink
