The number 19 stands for 2019, the year of its creation. A name that echoes its elder, the 2.55 bag, created in February 1955 by Mademoiselle Chanel.
“The CHANEL 19 bag is very cool. I feel slightly cooler when I wear it. When I grow up I hope to be as cool as the CHANEL 19 bag”, enthuses Margaret Qualley who’s recently seen in the film Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood by Quentin Tarantino and in the series Fosse/Verdonone, one of the three muses for the CHANEL 19 bag campaign.

Taylor Russell, who delivers two powerfully nuanced performances in Trey Edward Shults’s WAVES and in the series Lost in Space, says, “The mood of this campaign feels very buoyant, open, and friendly. The colours and tones are exceptionally eye-catching and bright and evoke a warmth and playful energy. It makes you want to smile.”

Marine Vacth, who has recently starred in the film Pinocchio by Matteo Garrone alongside Roberto Benigni, and will play the leading lady in the series Moloch directed by Arnaud Malherbe. “It’s wonderful seeing the unique personality of each one of us emerge through the House’s creations.” affirms the French actress.

The brightly coloured shots highlight the incredible freedom offered by the CHANEL 19 bag, swathed in a large diamond quilting and embellished with an oversized CC clasp. Each of them makes it her own. Its ultra-supple and highly practical structure, along with its long metal chain interlaced with leather doubled with a curb chain, make it an everyday companion. “The CHANEL 19 bag is playful whilst being timeless. I think it matches the part of me that is adventurous and likes to try new things,” says Taylor Russell. “The CHANEL 19 bag has enough character to remain discreet,” adds Marine Vacth.
