Wow! What a wonderful unexpected opportunity. I love it when things just fall in place like that! One, if not both, were meant for you.

If both are an option, and they let you (because on the one bag rule) I would get both! They are both very special unique bags. I have the iridescent white 19 small, and it is stunning! It has a slight grayish cast to it, not as white as my 20b irredentist white medium. But the way the irredentist colors shift in the light, is just beautiful. There had never been a 19 in a color like that, so I knew I had to have it. It’s definitely a casual bag, in my own personal opinion.

I have not seen, in person, the new 21s white iridescent. Looks really pretty. Most are saying it’s more of a pearl sheen than a true iridescent. My 20b iridescent white goes with everything, and I actually love wearing it casually. Definitely can be dressed up or down. I think this 21s will be very similar in how often you will actually find opportunities to wear. Definitely looks like one that will look good casual but dress up too.

If only one is an option, go with your gut! Of course we want them all, right? But you know what one speaks to you the most... sparkles and shines just a little bit more in your eyes. That’s the one, just trust your feelings.

Thank you for such a detailed response. I was able to picture both bags and how I’d utilize and wear them. Thinking about how beautiful the classic iridescent is and knowing myself I will be less inclined to wear it because I’ll want to keep it as pristine as possible. This helps me justify getting both as the 19 will be a more casual bag that I won’t be too anal about wearing.

Thanks for the info! I’m definitely a classic girl. I’m seeing the 19 being sold on eBay for almost double the store price is this a testament to how hard it is to get? It’s ‘sold out’ according to Chanel but my SA was still able to secure me one. Is it really sold out? I don’t know if these are games Chanel are playing to ramp up demand but it’s weighing heavily on my decision. I don’t want to regret not buying the 19.

Yes, I know what you mean! I hate games :tdown:lol. Seems like there are a lot of them recently unfortunately. I’m definitely under the impression it’s sold out, or at least very hard to get now... especially the small size!

Hi All! Very new to this thread and purse forum but I have the opportunity to buy the following tomorrow.

- Chanel 19 White Iridescent in Small (aka Medium)

And

- Chanel White Iridescent Classic Medium

Both brand new from my Chanel SA who had them reserved for someone else who pulled out? ( I can’t believe it!!)

Which do I purchase or do I purchase both?

I would choose the medium classic for sure!

I am curious about the one bag rule. Is that for stand alone boutiques? My Other friend told me 2 bag limit and her cousin said 1 bag limit. Which is correct? Then I heard if you’re a VIC you are able to buy more....

Sorry. If they call this Crumpled Lambskin, it might sell.

lol I totally agree with you. The ones they’ve been calling Tiffany blue is not the same blue at all. And I thought I was the weird one haha :lol:

Sorry do you have pictures of those they have been calling tiffany blue but is not? Is it the neon blue from this season or some other blues from past seasons?

In my local boutiques, the iridescent 19 small was sold out on day of launch but the m/l size was still available even after a month. The iridescent effect is different for both - so there is another reason to buy both. The classic from this season is more of a pearly sheen as some have mentioned whereas the 19 has more colourful effects e.g. blues and greys. Buy both if you can, but I would always choose the classic if there is only one choice. People won’t tire of the classic design but I’m not so sure about the 19.

Just get the one that speaks to you more.

Received my phone holder with chain. Fits my phone great (Pixel) and seems like it would be a nice grab and go bag. However, because of the way there are two compartments instead of one, it fits less than my WOC. Strap drop feels about the same as my square mini. The caviar leather feels nice, however in comparison with the glasses case with chain from the previous season (which I had to return because it did not fit my phone), the construction of this SLG is softer and less rigid, so you can feel the magnet pulling the caviar leather away from the inner lining, if that makes sense. I am not sure how the area around the magnetic closure will hold up over time with repeated openings. I am still deciding if I will keep this one or not. At this price point, I could get a Boy WOC and fit more things, but just a different look. I also have the neon pink in this style coming to me, so I'm even more in limbo.PhotoGrid_1615627074947.jpgPhotoGrid_1615627118807.jpg
