I bought it last Thursday but when I got home, I only noticed the trimming of the interior left pocket(Left when carrying it)..
I flew out for Xmas the following early morning so I didn't manage to go back to exchange it.
So I'm doing it today.

I don't know how to explain the flaw but I hope these pics helps..
The right pocket trimming is fine but not the left one..
I could only manage to zoom in frm the front with my camera phone since it's smaller to put it in the bag and take the pic. The rest are taken with my camera from the top.

Would I look like a fussy customer to ask for an exchange over this interior trimming?:confused1:

And do let me know what you ladies find of this bag as well..is the beige caviar nice? Or should I change the colour as well since I'm changing?:P

Thank you!

I agree completly, at Bond Street they are soo snobish, at Sloane they are more welcoming, polite and helpful.
When I am paying hundreds of pounds for a bag, I expect the bag to be 100% perfect and NOTHING less.

if your not happy with it, exchange it!
Although I've come to accept the fact most Chanels are not made in perfection anyhow...but if it bothers you, try to get another one.

good luck!

Nice bag and nice color! For such money you paid, you deserve a nice quality bag...by the way, how much is this bag? I am quite new to Chanel so I do want to find out the prices of their bags.

I think if you notice that something isn't perfect it will bother you and you should take it back. In my opinion, part of the reason for buying something exclusive is that the quality should always be superior inside and out. Btw, I love the color!

Hi ladies..

I'm back! But disappointingly...Chanel store is closed today.. :sad:

Soni & Cammy1:
It's actually my first time..so I just head straight to the one in Bond St since I usually goes to the LV on the same street.
I guess I must have been lucky cos when I was there last Thursday, the SAs were very welcoming & friendly the moment I stepped in - Xmas mood I guess!? :P
Thanks for letting me know..so the next time I'll just go to the Sloane.

By the way, do you know if it's possible if I bought it from Bond, I wanna exchange it at Sloane??

That's a great color and bag, but unless it's perfect you shouldn't keep it. Is that the medium flap?

Thanks kimbo79
Well..that's a good question haha..cos I'm still a lil bit confused myself..cos from some of the pics I saw here, Jumbo seems quite big.
Actually I wanted to get a jumbo..and when the SA showed me this one, I find that it looks more like the medium. I kept asking her is this the Jumbo, biggest one..and she told me no, this is Large, the largest one.. I think I asked her few times, so she brought out 3 sizes..S, M & L for me to compare..
So I just took the largest one..:P

Okay ladies..Update!

I did the exchange today..and changed for a lambskin - in the same colour & hardware!:graucho:

At first, the SA (same one who attended me last Thurs) brought me a bag which have the same flaw as the bag I was changing.. Plus, the flap zipper was clearly slightly dirty!:wtf: I pointed out to her regarding the flaw of the trimmings only(not the zip) and she told me it's the same for every bag. I asked her how come it's only one side of the pocket and not the other one..? I wasn't too please of course..here I am topping up £85 more for the lambskin, and she couldn't simply tell me that. So I told her nicely if she could "kindly bring me another one for me to confirm it's the same for all bags".. And so she did.. And it was fine! :smile: So I took it..:yahoo:

But now that I got home, I just realised that she had forgotten to put in the cleaning cloth..:hysteric:
I saw it was there when she opened this bag to show me.. So perhaps she must have forgotten to put it in back as there was the other bag on the counter.
I know it's just a cloth..but having my very first chanel purse, obviously I wanna own everything that officially comes with the purse right?:P
