I actually think it’s gorgeous. Too many gorgeous colors this season so maybe it can’t compete.
I don’t seem to have that issue with my melody. That bag is so easy and I use it whenever I know it may get a bit “rough”. However, I noticed the hardware fades easily on the turn lock.
I bought the classic Flap version of this color because I love classic flaps more but your 19 is also so gorgeous in this color22A Emerald Green!Love this green! But C19 in lambskin so I’m unsure how it will wear. Anybody with experience with a lamb C19? Thumbs up or down? I’m on the fence
. I have the 19 in few other colors and in my experience, the only wear you’ll see in the long term is mostly slouchiness.In my opinion, lambskin fares better on softer styles such as the 19 than it does on bags with hard corners such as CF or coco Handles. Those structured styles are more prone to corner wear and deep scratches. The softnesses of the 19 makes it more hard wearing if that makes sense. I also love the aged gold hardware against the green on the 19. So pretty.
In the end, you have to love it.That’s what matters. Keep it for now and try it with different outfits at home and if you still have reservations in a couple of days, maybe it’s not for you. Good luck
Thank you for detailed reply! So sweet of you! I would have loved to have a cf in this color but alas I couldn’t find one. I was offered the C19 and I figured it was still a pretty bag so I jumped at it (perhaps FOMO on my part). It goes well with my casual wardrobe and the bag is comfortable & practical for me (I have it in black calfskin). You are right that I need to make a decision soon & your confidence in the lambskin and how it wears on the C19 helps!

Thumbs up! The lambskin will be just fine. They are not as delicate as they look! Enjoy! What a fun color!!22A Emerald Green!
Yes, I too love the casual vibe of the 19! I actually considered the 19 for the 22A green but I fell in love with the CF when my SA brought it out. So in an effort to not buy two in the same color, I abandoned the idea of the 19.Thank you for detailed reply! So sweet of you!

As for you, You’ll know when you know. For now, have fun trying it with different outfits
. I advise to not keep it if you think it will stress you to maintain it. Make sure to think about color transfer as well if you wear a lot of dark clothing or dark denim. Good luck.

I wished I took a pic when I had my 22a caramel c19 out with my friend’s 21P c19 last weekend. It really wasn’t obvious to me till we put ours side by side and indeed, I think the 22a is a touch darker. Definitely not more Orange or pumpkin, if anything just a smidge more brown imo. Big applause to those who caught the difference just from the 22a only pics, my untrained eye didn’t pick up the difference.
Have said all that, our two bags did look so similar, a few ppl commented on us asking if we were sisters and carrying the same bag
What I would also say is the discrepancy in pics on either bags. The caramel photograph so differently under different lighting. Even looking at the bag right in front of me and looking at the viewfinder, the colours look so different already, it’s insane to me! My friend said the same for her 21P too.

Big thumbs up from me!! My store didn’t even get this one, had the yellow, dark grey, pink, black and caramel. I agree with all what the others say, take a good hard look at it and tbh, the answer is probably there and you know what to do! Let us know what you decide

22A Emerald Green! Love this green! But C19 in lambskin so I’m unsure how it will wear. Anybody with experience with a lamb C19? Thumbs up or down? I’m on the fence

Honestly they are both so stunning, and classic with a punch. The blue satin is really calling to me, but I’ve never gotten to see or feel their satin in person. Congrats!I understand that 22A yellow is probably one of the least favorite colors from this collection. I, on the other hand, was very drawn to this saffron/mustard yellow right away. It just reminded me of fall (my favorite season), like that of Ginko tree leaves in the late fall. My first ever mini CCH (fits my flip phone~) along with my blue satin mini (already shared on June purchase thread) from 22A, they just scream autumn to me. Thanks for letting me share.

Is it just me or are small classic flaps almost non existent? I’ve been trying to get a small for about a month now and have been flexible on color as well, but of the 3 Chanel’s I have in driving distance near me, they seem to have a decent variety of mediums and Jumbos but not a single small of any color. Do they just disappear that quickly to the VIP clients?
Oh boy!!! I wasn't planning on getting anything this season, but now I will have to try and get my hands on one... Looks like the perfect year-round, dress up or down color!!!
Curious if anyone can quickly tell me if there’s going to be a dark beige mini for this season?
