Thank you, appreciate your input. I was wondering if this is better or the brighter red / deeper with shiny gold hardware. This one is in matte gold hw.My friend has the same one from a couple years ago. Looks stunning under natural light. Definitely a keep for me, the second best colour (after the classic black) for mini 2.55 imo.

Its beautiful. Definitely a keeper. Can you please share photos of this red in natural lighting.
Congrats on this cutie! Would you happen to have the tags for this bag? I would appreciate if you could post a pic. I am thinking on this vanity but in a different color. Thank you!
Is there anyway to maintain Chanel 19 and stave off slouchiness as much as possible?I used a bag organizer but am really afraid it will look completely wrinkly, " melted ice cream look with timeI bought the classic Flap version of this color because I love classic flaps more but your 19 is also so gorgeous in this color. 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
There are a few things you can do to maintain the shape of a Chanel 19.
Bag organizer is a must if you intend on maintaining the shape as much as possible. I suggest getting one that fits somewhat snug and is made with thick and sturdy material.
The other thing that’s equally important, if not more more important is stuffing your bag each time you store it away. Stuffing restores shape of bags and shoes made from supple leathers.
One last point is to avoid overpacking when you’re wearing the bag. The 19 is spacious at any size so it’s tempting to overpack. If you see the sides of the flap flaring at the corners and not sitting flat, or you see the flap being pulled upwards at the turn lock when you lift it, the bag is overpacked and it will ruin the shape. Avoid putting heavy items such as water bottles and opt to carry those by hand instead. I attached a picture to show you what overpacking does to the shape.
If you take these measures, your bag should age nicely with minimal sagging.
Enjoy your bag!

I think this might be the same red mini reissue and it’s what I picked up from Paris. I really wanted it in emerald green, but they didn’t receive any while I was there. Still, I think the red is a fun pop of color that’s not super extreme. It’s called “red” but I think it’s a bit of a coral. I love it!
That looks so good on you! And yes I think it’s probably the same … I was actually imagining it to be deeper red that is why I’m still hesitant on whether ti keep or not. The hardware is matte right and not shiny gold? I bought mine remotely.
