Chanel 19 Size Comparison: Maxi vs Large vs Small – Alyssa Smirnov

The maxi size is the largest of the three. It definingly is quite large, especially on my thin frame. It measures about 9.8 x 14 X 4.3 inches. In the photo I compare the three ways of wearing this bag. Crossbody is the least comfortable and feels quite restrictive. The strap drop is the shortest, at 14 inches, from the three sizes and this makes it not ideal for crossbody use. However I do like it on the shoulder and crook of the arm. Because of the large size and soft structure, if this bag is not full it will tend to look a bit flattened and shapeless.  It has a more casual feel and would be best suited for travel or for someone with a larger frame. Personally I don’t even carry that much stuff in the day to day to keep this bag full but it can fit many thing including a water bottle, umbrella, iPad and more. The bag in this photo is in the color light beige.
