Hi Melissa! Chanel lover over here. I would say that between the Chanel 19, coco handle, and mini rectangle …. The 19 will TOTALLY MATCH your style (in my opinion) … I have 4 of them and let me tell you that I LOVE THEM… so versatile, chic, and edgy
Hi Mel, my vote is for the Dior saddle bag or the Chanel 19. Maybe the Chanel 19 for bag #2 and saddle for bag #3. It will give you some time to figure out what color saddle bag you want.
Love the thinking about buying preloved / condition and savings are high on my agenda too! Thanks for the shoutout babe, can’t wait to see what you get! 😜
I’d choose the Dior saddle in the most functional color for you. I think the saddle will bring something unique to ANY collection. I finally saw the one I wanted in the berry / wine color gold hardware in person in Dior and omg I love that bag ! If I had all the thousands to blow I would’ve gotten it that day. I love the warm taupe but we do have to pick colors that work for us. (Also the mini Alexa is looking so cute and dainty in the background!)
I would keep a Mulberry bag over a LV bag all day everyday! I have owned and own lots of bags from both brands. And Mulberry is superior in quality. 👌✨️
All your choices are super classic , you can't go wrong. A black Chanel and is such a signature piece that will be timeless. It would add nicely to your collection. Light sky blue and/or lilac are beautiful pastel neutrals that are so pretty and would work great with your skin tone. Sometimes the find or deal on the preloved market can help make your decision. 😉
I would choose the Chanel 19, because you have something from Dior already 😁😄. I try to not repeat brands, even color and function, to keep my collection curated. But that's me. 😀
Ahh all lovely choices but if I had to pick a fave that would be different would be the lilac peekaboo. Or the black Chanel 19. Just to give some variety to your collection! The black Chanel 19 is amaze and the chunky hardware is beautiful. 🖤
I vote Chanel 19… or honestly, check out the Tory Birch Kira diamond quilted collection. I bought the regular size in black and it’s stunning. I personally can’t justify spending the money on Chanel at this time, but the 19 style is exactly my style. I just bought a beautiful new work bag as well 😅 The Kira is satisfying me… for now. If you don’t get the 19 now, you will get it eventually, especially if you’re going pre loved. You have lots of time. Saving $2k on Fendi sounds like a great move if your perfect 19 hasn’t shown up yet ♥️
Thank you. The Kira bags are so beautiful. I have a really hard time spending anything over 4k on a bag. That’s why they live on my wishlist where as the 2-3k bags get purchased.
I'm torn between the black Chanel 19 and the lilac peekaboo. I can easily see you rocking either one, and both would be stunning additions to your collection! Can't wait to see which one you decide on!
Oh tough choices, Melissa. I can’t wait to see which one you’re picking in the end. I don’t own any of these bags, but I have a feeling that Chanel 19 might be easier to use because it’s a bit softer❤
So now I’m done with the video and am ready to weigh in. My gosh this is a tough one! They are all so pretty. In terms of functionality I think the Chanel 19 and the Fendi baguette are similar. The Chanel 19 may hold a little more and it goes crossbody better, but you can extend the strap with a chain or get a crossbody strap for the baguette. And you know I love that light blue color for the saddle bag. The warm taupe one is beautiful also and not warm at all. I think it would go with most cool colors. Well this is a great list of upcoming bags. I’d work my way through all of them haha. But I’d go with the Chanel 19 next.
@@MelissaAdams-Wade so black, Oreo tweed, houndstooth tweed, caramel and normal black and grey all small… small is great size… It’s just such an easy bag to use… I’ve even taken on date night top handle
Excited to see which you choose! I have bought and returned the Chanel 19 in the small size 3 times. I could not find the right color pink to match my Lilly Pulitzer wardrobe. I have the Fendi Baguette in pink. The shade of pink also does not match my wardrobe so I do not use it a lot but it is a Really nice bag! Happy shopping!!!!!
I think both bags are beautiful but the Mulberry works best for you because you have an edgy style. I can see you with the Dior Saddle Bag too. I agree, Melissa, buy the bag brand new if you only save $500 or $600. 😊
Ooo good luck on this one, I’m actually partial to Dior I just love 💕 the customer service from the fashion house and I love 💕 love the saddle bag. Thanks for sharing and I think 🤔 I’m caught up woohoo 🎉 🛍️👛🚢🙏🦆
I’m super excited to see which one you go with. I have wanted a Fendi Baguette as well. I definitely think any of those will be a great addition to your collection. I absolutely can see you with the peekaboo first though. 😊
@@MelissaAdams-Wade I have a baby blue Alma that’s the same size as the pink you got if you ever wanna trade those to see how you gravitate towards that light blue. Just a thought.
I think you are really interested in the Chanel 19. We traded messages on this the last time you mentioned it. I have the one that you are looking for and I’m tempted to see if you want to buy from me. I just don’t use it and I’m not sure if I will. It’s in almost perfect condition and has box, dust bag and tag.
Yes it is. Luckily I’m not much of a cross body person. I have a larger chest and it accentuates it. I’ll probably use it long shoulder and top handle most.
Great video! I have just purchased a vintage Dior oblique saddle bag. It’s an unusual one as it comes with a thicker fabric strap. I agree that the price for saddle bags has surged. They are very popular in the UK. Definitely buy asap as they seem to be skyrocketing. ❤
I love my saddle but wish i got it prelove without strap for some savings as i don't like nor use the long strap. I sold my Chanel 19 as i don't like the thick chain after using it for 1-2 years. It's strap is too thick and hurts my back crossbody. I did consider baguette but i prefer the vintage style with a slightly longer strap for the shoulder. The new one has 2 straps, one too long one too short 😂 Peekaboo is way too heavy imo. I tried and considered it for a few years now but the middle divider really adds weight
Is this the video you were referring to? This was posted last month. I'm sorry missed it when you posted it. My guess is that you got a Fendi Baguette 😊
Melissa Dayle has a video comparing the petite and small and what fits I think. And if she doesn’t then maybe reach out to her and ask for it! If there isn’t one out there, there should be, right? Ainura theone has a video on the small I see u. That I came across the other day.
I saw both of their videos. Dayles I have watched a couple of times 🤣. Neither one of them share what fits inside the small I see u. I asked Dayle if she had a video on it but she just has her comparison video.
@@MelissaAdams-Wade wow I can’t believe it! I’ve seen both the bags in person. The petite looks super cute crossbody but the small looked a bit bulky crossbody, but I think you carry that size top handle anyway. It fits as much or more than the small lady Dior I think. It is bigger than the mini peekaboo which holds plenty. In case you were worried about it carrying everything you need.
Definitely recommend the 19 you would love the space the look and is easy to wear. I wanted the saddle bag put my Phone on it and that was it not roomy and too rigid the look fantastic but not practical besides you have the lady Dior is gorgeous I’ll say get the Chanel 🙌🫶

@@MelissaAdams-Wade I made a video review of the 19, check it out 😘
@@Chicandstylishbylena thank you, I will
Hi Mel, my vote is for the Dior saddle bag or the Chanel 19. Maybe the Chanel 19 for bag #2 and saddle for bag #3. It will give you some time to figure out what color saddle bag you want.
Thank you, those are both great choices and make sense. They are the two I’ve been wanting the longest.
Love the thinking about buying preloved / condition and savings are high on my agenda too! Thanks for the shoutout babe, can’t wait to see what you get! 😜
It’s always exciting to find a bag in excellent condition for a big savings.
Yes, the Fendi would definitely be a preloved purchase. That is a significant savings. Smart shopping, Melissa. 😊
Yes, I’m all for saving some $
I’d choose the Dior saddle in the most functional color for you. I think the saddle will bring something unique to ANY collection. I finally saw the one I wanted in the berry / wine color gold hardware in person in Dior and omg I love that bag ! If I had all the thousands to blow I would’ve gotten it that day.

That wine color is stunning! Thank you so much.
I really want a 4th Chanel 19 ! But I am tempted by the peekaboo ❤
Go for something different this time and go for the peekaboo 😁
@@MelissaAdams-Wade I just don’t know if I’ll love it as much as the 19
I would keep a Mulberry bag over a LV bag all day everyday! I have owned and own lots of bags from both brands. And Mulberry is superior in quality. 👌✨️
This is my first Mulberry bag. So far I think it’s great.

That’s great. I like to have a small(ish) collection also. I try to keep it under 20 luxury bags.
Ahh all lovely choices but if I had to pick a fave that would be different would be the lilac peekaboo. Or the black Chanel 19. Just to give some variety to your collection! The black Chanel 19 is amaze and the chunky hardware is beautiful. 🖤
Yes. Both of those have been heavily on my mind lately 🤔 well actually all of them have 🤣. Oh boy!!
Such fun options! I think the baby blue saddle would be a great addition to your wardrobe!
It’s such a beautiful color 🩵
Ooh I love the silver CC on the 19 too!
I don’t see many people with it

Same. My new work bag was $3200, but I love it soooo much.
I stick to 2 bags/year now and SLG’s here and there in between 😁

They’re all such cool choices. I don't see any purple in your collection so maybe the peekaboo??? Can’t wait to see what you get.
I don’t own any purple yet 😉
Dayle deserves a LARGE commission payment from Fendi!!!!
❤
Right! 🤣😂 I couldn’t agree more.
Chanel 19!!! I have 6 that’s how much I like it!
Wow, that’s amazing. What colors do you have?
I agree! I have 2 and it’s such a versatile bag. Melissa I know you love back pocket and it’s a big plus for the 19, plus it fits a bunch of stuff.
@@Justme-x4h I sure do. It’s a game changer 😁

Color is so important when it comes to handbags and how often we will reach for them. I learned that the hard way 🤣
That light blue Dior saddle 🤤 🙌 stunning and would go with so much
I love it. It’s so pretty
My vote would definitely be for either the 19 or the Fendi bags. But I’m biased!
🤣😂 thank you Lisa
I vote Fendi baguette all the way! ☺️
Thank you Alyssa. Is it one of your favorites?

I think I will love it too

Andrea didn’t you buy my LV Zippy wallet from me?
The saddle bag has grown on me over time but that top handle is really awkward when you wear it crossbody 😢
Yes it is. Luckily I’m not much of a cross body person. I have a larger chest and it accentuates it. I’ll probably use it long shoulder and top handle most.

Just purchased so not yet but it’s a very casual style.
@@ruthmurphy7627 let me know how you get along with it after you start to use it.
