Omg I had this exact problem with missalligement of the stitching even more noticeable and much bigger in my red m/l I bought in 2011 just before price increase. Stitching were also coming out. It was bad they took it back and said to send to Paris for repair but month later after the price increased they told me they can't fix this and will refund credit back. I end up having to pay mor because the increase price. Also left without the red flap I been wanting so bad for. U should return asapAt this point, I didn't even open the CC clasp and look inside. I simply turn the bag around to check the back side. Sure enough, I found:
Issue 3: White thread in with the red thread on the top left of the back right below the chain strap. It is noticeable in this pic, and it STANDS OUT irl as it's white on red.
I'm starting to get angry and sick to my stomach now...
Then I went to take a pic of the right side, so I can email comparison pics to my SA. The right side, the thread is red as it should be. However....
Issue 4: look at the back pocket and the stitching is awfully mis-aligned. It's not even close!
So I have counted FOUR (4!!!!!!) defects in a $4900 supposed-brand-new-from-factory bag. And I have NOT EVEN opened up the bag to look inside. I'm afraid to even do so....afraid there could be a snake that jumps out at me or something akin to that.
Anyway, this is how I feel right now. I should go to bed and try to get some peace. Maybe I'll feel a little better in the morning.
:storm: ullhair:
To be honest i looked at mine and i must say that the back pocket's stitching is the same as yours, now the stitching on the back is the same colour and the creases the chances are it's been opened and closed a few times in the store by clients and it will ALSO appear when you start using your chanel
In any case I could understand your frustration and you should get in touch with her to know if you can get a totally brand new, never been handled one.
Especially at THAT price.

That is totally unacceptable, honestly if i saw someone carrying a flap with the stitching so obviously misaligned i would think its fake or defected. it really doesn't make sense to let quality slip like that with the prices they are charging. Hope you get a perfect piece soon!
