Is there anyone considering the vanity phone holder? I’m thinking about it but not sure if it’s one of those cute one off useless things or a little useful since it fits a phone.

I think it's useful if you just want something small and compact when you don't want to carry a large bag. This did fit the Samsung note ultra with a thin case on it. Here is a upclose picture. 20210111_104435_wm.jpg

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 these pics! May I ask how you felt about the white iridescent 19? I’m waiting for the small one to arrive but I keep going back and forth about it - not sure if the gold hardware clashes with it. Also, does it look more silver in person? Would love to hear your thoughts.

You’ve very welcome! I can only hope that my recent obsession with the 19 helps someone else make their decision. The white iridescent was a standout, but not for me. My style is a bit more low-key, so I knew it wouldn’t work. My SA said it is definitely a statement, and he thought it would make a great date night

The iridescence and overall look reminded me of the white chevron iridescent from Fall or Winter 2019, but more color in the iridescence. The older white iridescent I’m referring to was more silvery, while this one has more colors like purple in it. Oh! I found photos I took of the flap corners for a friend, which should show the iridescence better for you.

Has anyone seen the 19 in 21P beige? I’ve seen a lot of pics but it’s so hard to tell from the lighting. I’m wondering how it compares to 20k.
I saw it from afar in the store, when someone else was trying it on, but it did not appear to be a dark beige.
Thank you for the real life photo, your black is so cute and classic!
Can I ask, does it also fit a flat card case with the phone?
Yes. I tried this style as well, and saw some room around my phone. I have a pretty thick pop-socket like thing on the back of my phone, so that took up a lot of depth. So if you phone doesn’t have something ont the back, then it should leave room for a flat cardholder.

This was super helpful... thank you!!! The white iridescent does look beautiful. The pics you posted def gave a good idea of the true color.
