Omg same! I never looked at Chanel in the past cos I felt they were too ladylike for me at my age so when I first saw the boy, I was in love! I waited a few years before jumping the gun because I wanted to make sure it wasn’t gonna be a trend bag that will be discontinued quickly. It was my first bag so I was extra cautious on what I was buying.
Quite honestly, even the small Chanel 19 is a tad big for me (I’m 153cm/39.5kg):

But man, can you fit a truckload of stuff! Most of the Chanel bags I have probably fits like a wallet, my phone, keys and a small powerbank at most (business affinity, med boy, small CF, trendy CC, Med Vanity) and the smaller ones fit a card holder, keys and powerbank only (21A adjustable chains, mini CF, small Coco Handle). This one can fit whatever my boy fits plus my hubby’s wallet and phone too (both of us use iPhone 12 pro max). I always bring this when I need to fit a little more and it has been so handy for causal/dress down days. I didn’t like the C19 at first too but it grew on me after I started running out of the classics to buy

Chanel is a trap where you start getting classics and run out of them, then more bags start looking nice over time

however, after using it like 3-4 times casually, I do realize lambskin is not that uppity if we are careful (as in don’t lean on things or whatnot).
