Ok, talk to me more! :lol: I was thinking about getting Chanel 19 but this grey caro could look fabulous with grey b27 sneakers so I might change my mind LOL

Ok I've been through about 15 Chanel 19's and always end up getting rid of them (with prejudice). The structure doesn't hold on them - the inside is fabric lining. So although the pocket outside is nice, it's not that easy to get a phone in and out of b/c of the structure loss. They ROLL. Roll off chairs, tables etc because no structure AND the chains are crazy heavy. The shoulder strap always gets twisted & you have to correct esp if you've filled the bag. It's really uncomfortable on your shoulder if the bag is full & heavy, then when it twists, not fun. The corner edges of the bag "pucker" esp when picking up by the small hand held chain strap. And last, the leather is terrifically cheap. Like, impressively cheap. Don't get me wrong I am a huge Chanel buyer, but I am also unbiased (see good and bad).

I was a never a fan of Chanel 19 (I only have classics from Chanel, and one seasonal white mini) because of the cheap, and flashy gold logo, but they are about to release all black one which seems nice. But all you said about quality is true, Dior seems to be impeccable❤️ and I don’t like to baby ma bags.

I second that although I don’t personally own a 19, I’ve seen people wearing it and the structure loss is really a problem.

This is the latest medium caro brown caramel for color reference . The color is nice , size also great , same as Chanel medium classic flap so it’s not too big , but if they can make it with light gold hardware probably will look more elegant . Just my opinion . :-)

Again this is just what I am seeing, and I sometimes see things....:smile: But at the bottom of the two squares/cannages there is stitching. And the left one is shorter than the right one. I can highlight is some more.

I have other pics, and these are my bags coming to me. Nothing is off I assure you. Sometimes when light reflects it can trick the eyes. And these are shiny to they do reflect light.

Wow!!! Stunning!! I want both. Is this your Lady? I’m torn about ordering a Lady from the website or going preloved. Also, I can’t decide between black, this blue, or taupe or blush! I have no store in my city. Decisions…

OK. So my feedback on the LD here. Taupe, blush (rose des vents), black are almost always available. This blue I haven't seen ever....

Also & FYI. You can order Dior from Saks, NM, Bloomies etc and get loads of $$ back with points...Sometimes Saks for me is up to 18% back and Bloomies up to 20% back during point events. So before you order off the site, you might consider that!

That’s so true! I completely forgot about the points. Great tip, thank you!
