From what I've learned, reissues don't have a lot of structure in the bottom. Apparently they were designed to be folded flat? The "lore" is that Karl Lagerfeld found the bag in a box and it was squished, so he included it in the design. This, from the reissue clubhouse: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/chanel-reissue.710696/page-90#post-32395840

The reissues are actually designed to “fold out” a little on the bottom. I’ve noticed that with most of these rainbow reissues (including mine) that while the sides fold in like traditional reissues, the bottom is much flatter and more structured. I assume it’s to do with the metallic treated goatskin being more durable than other skins used to make this bag.
your bags colorway is absolutely lovely btw
My SA texted a photo of the WOC. Looks gorgeous but I did get the mini!! I didn’t get to see it in person so I don’t know how it feels or creases around the top. Would be interested to see if anyone got to see it in person! 
It shouldn't sag, reissues are designed this way. You can manipulate the shape a bit overtime to get it flatter on the bottom, or you can keep it the way it is.
It looks great on you! (And what a good drop length for the different ways to wear it)
Hi, have you received the bag? What’s your thoughts about the leather? Do you find it might flake easily? Thanks.
I got it and the leather feels fine. It’s so adorably gorgeous in person.
The mini reissue one is really growing on me! Do you guys think it's far too late to get hold of one from a boutique? Have I missed the boat
bloomingdales and neimans had two as of last week.
Thank you so much for the reply!! This is my first reissue, so I was a bit confused. Love this bag
and now I feel so much better about the lack of structureHappy to help!Thank you so much for the reply!! This is my first reissue, so I was a bit confused. Love this bag
Hi All,
Sadly I had to return this bag due to a few hairline cracks that I found that were not acceptable to me.... but luckily I have another one on the way to me....
Hi. I am sorry to hear that. But you’ve made the correct decision to return the defective bag.
For the amount of money it costs, the bag has to be flawless. Do not settle.
I hope the coming one will be perfect in every way. Just like my dear friend @aki_sato said:it will happen for those who waits!
Can’t wait to see your new reveal.
