I have been on a Chanel 19 whirlwind since the new year. For some reason, *cough*friendsandinfluences*cough* I started thinking about the Chanel 19 a lot. I have tried it on a couple of times in the Small size, and it seemed too little. As if the design of the purse was louder than its size. I decided to give it another shot, trying it in the Small and Medium (aka ”Large” on Chanel.com), and suddenly, the purse clicked for me. It was as if everything fell into place. Then I started combing TPF and Facebook groups for intel, and that led me to purchasing a 19 from 21P. I texted my boutique SA to put me on the list for the Brown CF and 19 Small or Medium, and luckily two of them came in on Wednesday. I also got to try a few other colors and took pictures for you all.

For reference, I am 5’6”, 140 lbs, and Size 6-8 US.

Thanks for sharing your great mod shots! What can you get to fit in that circle bag? I’m sort of looking at one.

No problem! I always take mod shots for myself when I’m considering a new bag, but I don’t usually share them. I did not try fitting anything into the circle bag, but I have watched review videos from Fashionably AMy where she demo’s what fits. I think a Chanel flat Cardholder will not fit, but a smaller, less tall one, would like fit. If You don’t need to carry a lot of cards/cash, you could use one of those small plastic sleeves for collectible playing cards, or a very very small slim cardcase, to fit inside. You would still have room for lipsticks and car keys. It seems like it could fit the essentials as long as you’re willing to get creative about getting it in there.

I asked the person I bought it from if I can and he said he’ll let me know if/when they get new ones in. Do you by any chance know if you can exchange at a different location or has to be the one you bought it at?

yes you can absolutely exchange it at any boutiques. It’s usually easier if you know the SA at whichever store you are visiting to do the exchange because they can help navigate the stock for you. But I would imagine that your current SA (whom you bought the bag from) should be able to pull from other stores as well?

Is the caramel 19 a small or medium (large)?

Good to know! I am going to wait a week and if I don’t hear back from him I will try to exchange elsewhere

I might be in the minority for saying this but I like the caramel color on the 19 bag much more than the classic. I love medum classics and I love the color caramel but for whatever reason I'm not that crazy about this caramel color on a classic. But there's something about that color on the Chanel 19 bag.

I’m sorry, I should have clarified that. The “Brown” as Chanel calls it, or caramel by everyone else its a Medium (Large), my preferred size for the 19.

My SA and I agreed. I wasn’t keen on the Lambskin as well. I took the 19 home and it’s my first brown purse, outside of Louis Vuitton Monogram.

My friend got the caramel 19 earlier in the day before me, and she said it’s got pink in it. When I got it, I saw it, too. It almost reminds me of pottery, and not as rich as caramel candy.

Congrats! You made a great choice on the 19. The opinions on that bag are so polarizing. You either love it or hate it. Personally, I am a fan of the 19. I have a small black in goatskin and it's my workhorse. Enjoy your 19!! Shes a beauty.

Thank you for clarifying! I agree with others that the caramel is better on the 19 than the classic. I think maybe it's the puffiness and the fact that there's not a lot of quilting on it so it looks a lot smoother. And I would LOVE to have it in the medium (large) size but I have my eye on the tie dye 19 so I can only pick ONE! :annoyed:
