How does the lamb feel? Thicker or thinner than usual? I'm still on the fence about it, but I may be too late to get it from the boutique!

The lamb feels sturdy, thick, smooth and supple, similar to my mini square lamb of 19S, trendy CC of 20S and just a little softer than the 19 lamb. Compared to my square minis, the mini rectangular I had and touched at boutiques before at least for the past two years appeared to be thin and extremely delicate. I think over time, with more breathing, buffing occasionally, it will patina to have more sheen and puffier. That's one of the reasons why I prefer mini square than mini rectangular. Just like a little kitty if you hold it on your palm. Hope it helps.

Saw this scary post! Now after my bag came damaged wondering if Chanel does quality checks anymore
Oh my! that’s why I have been seeing them look much different in pictures! It was kind of confusing then I thought it just varies on the lighting! So this just makes me feel better that I am listed for the brown one instead. Thanks for sharing.
 
No luck for me - I am looking for one too for someone. Most of the boutiques I called said they were all reserved. :(
Sorry to hear that... most try to go on more than one list ask if there’s an extended list... some boutiques will still take your name... pick one that you have an SA in. When a person buys from another boutique you could move up.... just try it can’t hurt! GL!
 
If anyone has an SA that has space on reserve for a chanel 19 in caramel I’d be grateful. Called around 8 locations so far and they either aren’t bringing in or the waitlist is too long to even take my name :/ thank you
 
Finally I am able to compare the two and glad to report that the M/L and the Mini are the same color code. The classic is slightly darker in color, but I believe it's because of the lambskin leather is simply out of the world. The picture does not capture its quality, but when you touch the two by hand, you know exactly. It is so buttery and already have the natural oily sheen. I did a close up of the two and hopefully it shows a little. Not sure if because this particular lamb had a better life, or the choice of leather is superior for classics or the classic is made in France while the Mini is made in Italy. Overall the leather of Mini is nice already, but the classic is so putty, soft while thick and sturdy. Thanks for allowing me to share. Good Luck for everyone in the hunt of these. IMG_2299.jpg

Omg this is a stunning color! Reminds me of a Hong Kong milk tea. I didn’t take the chance to get one because it looked so dark Orange brown on Instagram but those pictures don’t do it justice. Thank you so much for sharing :love:

Thank you. it certainly is not everyone's cup of "tea", but I had been searching for it for almost a year. It is indeed prettier in person.
