{I filmed a little unboxing video just for fun}
In my previous post, I mentioned that I got a Chanel bag for Christmas. Today, I am thrilled to share what was in the box. Are you ready? I got a Chanel 19 bag!!! It was a very exciting moment for me because I haven't bought a brand-new Chanel bag since 2016. The bag was released in March 2019 (in honor of the great Karl Lagerfeld). I wasn't a fan at first mainly because of the multi-tone chain strap. I found it a bit strange. I kept seeing it more and more on social media and you know how that goes. The more I see it, the more I like it. One of the reasons why I like it because it gives off a casual vibe. The bag has a soft and relaxed silhouette which is different from my other Chanel bags. My other Chanel bags have a very structure base and are somewhat formal. I rarely have a special occasion to wear them (especially now when I go absolutely nowhere). I was serious about getting this bag last year (before the price increase). I told myself that I will only buy the bag if right color/hardware combination comes along. My SA texted me this picture last year. She had the bag in a size small, grey lambskin with the gold turnlock. If you've been with me for a while, you know I am a silver girl through and through. I don't dislike the gold hardware. I just prefer silver over gold. It's understated yet modern and fits my style better. After much consideration, I decided to pass on the bag. Fast forward 6 months later, my SA texted me the exact bag but this time, it has the silver turnlock! My heart skipped a beat when I saw the bag. I texted my husband and the rest is history. This is exactly what I wanted. This is my one and only grey bag. The lambskin is buttery soft and so comfortable to wear. The strap length is perfect for me when worn crossbody. I love the chain top handle so much. Such a chic way to carry a bag. The multi-tone strap making metal mixing a breeze. My strap has a mix of shiny gold, matte gold and silver. The Chanel 19 was $5100 before the last price increase. The price has jumped to $5700 since 07/21. That is a whopping 12%. Crazy, isn't it? Speaking of that, Chanel had THREE price increases in 2021! This is my most expensive Chanel bag and it will be my last one lol The price is hard to swallow but you know what? I wholeheartedly believe that if you work hard, you should treat yourself every now and then.

I did not know the 19 came in silver hardware. I am also one that always chooses silver over gold. I have also been debating over this bag, but oddly enough, I don’t mind the gold hardware with this bag, especially in certain color ways. Nevertheless, congrats on your new bag with the silver 😉
