buckle on the classic flap

[~Moi~]

so, i know i'm probably crazy, but this is my first chanel, so maybe you won't think i'm a total nut.

my friend was looking at my new bag today, and tried to open the flap without "untwisting" the lock (it's the CC lock)! i caught her in time (i hope) and untwisted it for her.

here's my question, i've then noticed that the buckle has a bit of a "spring" to it (i.e. if you pull the flap, the lock pulls up a bit, but automatically retracts)...i think this is part of the bag, and not any damage she's done...right?

thanks south ! i just about had a heart attack when i saw her do that...she was pretty rough with my bag so..thought i'd make sure! i'm so glad we have something like tPF to ask these "crazy" questions!

I can imagine your distress. I was at a business dinner and the VP of my company was telling a story about back pain. She grabbed my black jumbo caviar flap and put it behind her lower back to show how she had to put a pillow behind her back to relieve the pain I almost blew my stack! And she leaned back against my jumbo for about 3 minutes. I was totally steaming inside and the thing is I thougt she of anyone at the table would know about Chanel

A similar experience :I had put my bag (an LV Damier papillion) on the side of a sofa so it won't bother anyone who wanted to sit down.Until a...friend found it OK to seat on the sofa's edge and on my bag !!!Let's be aware of some "friends" of ours! Glad your CC lock is OK!
