A replica bag can look perfect on day one, but the real test is what happens after months or even years of use.
I’ve been carrying this replica Chanel 19 bag for about two years. If you’re curious whether a replica bag can stay beautiful after real life happens, this review will give you an answer.
design and features of Chanel 19
First, let’s take a look at Chanel 19’s design and features, which should explain why I love them so much.
The “19” in Chanel 19 stands for 2019, the year the bag was introduced. The name echoes its iconic predecessor, the 2.55 bag, which was created by Coco Chanel in February 1955.
The Chanel 19 bag is built to be durable yet flexible, with sleek lines that don’t restrict your movement.
Oversize Quilting
The Chanel 19 bag takes the classic diamond quilting from the CF and makes it bigger. The plump quilting, combined with tight stitching, adds a three-dimensional feel to the bag’s surface, making it look more casual and bold.
Double C Logo
It keeps the iconic double C logo but enlarges it, and the pure metal is upgraded with leather-woven chains, creating a design that’s both soft and strong, making the bag stand out.
Leather-woven Chain
The shoulder strap features a thick, leather-woven chain design, which is more gender-neutral compared to the 2.55 and CF. It uses a combination of gold, silver, and aged metal colors to add personality.
Additionally, there’s a thick metal chain for a top handle, allowing you to carry the bag by hand, over the shoulder, or crossbody.

Review of my Chanel 19 bag replica
Quality 10/10
This bag’s leather is so soft, softer than a baby’s bum, and it has an amazing sheen with just the right amount of wrinkles. It feels and looks like Replica Knockoff lambskin, and it’s about the same thickness too.
- The bag itself has a similar weight to the original.
- The two chains have a good weight to them, just like the Replica Knockoff ones.
- The shoulder strap doesn’t squeak or kink, and the leather part of the strap is soft and flexible.
- The turn lock works smoothly and feels sturdy. I can’t spot any misplaced stitches.
- Inside the bag, everything lines up nicely. The stitching is neat, and the zipper glides smoothly.

Accuracy 9.7/10
This bag is very passable, I wear it around my friends and take it to the Chanel boutique.
- It’s 26cm in size and measures exactly 26cm across the base (16 × 26 × 9 cm/6.2 × 10.1 × 3.5 in).
The chain’s length is accurate (I’ve worn it alongside the real C19 and they both fell at the same stopping point), and feels like it’s the right weight too. When you lift and drop the top handle chain, it falls just like it should.
- All the logos and markings are right where they should be and look just like the Replica Knockoff ones.
- The microchip is also attached well and in the right place.
The hardware has the same gold tone and the same level of ‘tarnish’ or aged look. The chain strap is also the same, with the same number of links per hardware color (ruthenium, vintage gold, silver, etc).
The only small issue is the back pocket is slightly more curved than the original. -0.3pt
Despite that, I’m confident wearing this next to my friends’ Replica Knockoff C19.

wear tear after two years
I kid you not, this replica Chanel 19 bag is nicer than any auth C19 I’ve encountered. Aside from a few marks, she still looks beautiful.
I’ve worn this bag a lot and it doesn’t look worn out, dirty, or damaged at all!
The leather is still very soft and has aged nicely. It hasn’t cracked or dried out, and the wrinkles look natural rather than worn or damaged.
The bag is very sturdy, the lambskin leather isn’t as delicate as I thought, and feels like conditioning and care will make it last with me forever. But because of the white color, I do not feel like I could throw this bag around.
My only issue is that the metal tarnishes a bit quicker than I expected, and over time, it’s left some black marks on the leather where it connects.
It might also be because it’s white, so it shows more than the darker-colored bags. (I don’t have many light-colored bags, so I hadn’t paid much attention to this issue before.)
PROS CONS
Pros
With the leather-woven chain, double C logo, and large quilted pattern, it has all the classic features but feels younger and more stylish.
Even though it’s made of lambskin, this bag is durable. I wear it a lot and it shows fewer signs of wear than I expected.
The bag has a surprising amount of space inside, with a zip pocket and a magnetic pocket at the back that makes it easy to stash your stuff.
The chain is versatile; you can wear it crossbody, as a long shoulder strap, or tuck it in to wear around your wrist.
Cons
The shoulder strap is not adjustable or removable.
The chain is pretty thick, so it can feel a bit heavy when you carry it on the shoulder.
You have to be careful not to let the chain press against the bag when storing it, or it’ll leave marks.
Also, the bag tends to lose its shape when it’s fully packed.
Alright, that’s it for today’s review of the small white lambskin Chanel 19. I think I might even like the Chanel 19 more than the Classic Flap now, haha. I want to collect them in every color.
To finish off, I wanna share some tips on how to maintain this bag.
How to Maintain a Chanel 19 Bag?
Because of Chanel 19’s slouchier design, it’s important to take good care of it.
Here are some basics:
- Avoid keeping your handbag in sunlight, artificial light, or humid places for too long.
- If your handbag gets wet, gently dry the area with an absorbent, lint-free cloth.
- Avoid using any products that could change your handbag’s finish.
The lambskin leather is soft and delicate.
- For bags made of softer materials, it’s best to store them lying flat.
Hanging it up or standing it upright could cause the bag to deform or develop creases. - And when you’re storing it, stuff it with acid-free tissue paper to help keep its shape.
- Wrap the chains or straps in tissue paper to keep them from touching the bag directly.
Make sure they’re not pressing on the bag’s surface because they can leave marks easily.
Be careful not to overload it when you’re using it.
To avoid any color transfer to the leather, try not to wear dark clothes (denim) with lighter colored bags.
