Chanel metallic leather is famous for rubbing off/ peeling. I am sure this particular bag is going to be even worse given how they made the leather in a “dry and crumbled” finish. You’ve made a good decision.
I have an older metallic blue striped reissue and an older light gold metallic Reissue. They didn’t rub or peel, but I recall that a lot of TPFers had issues. I thought the runway pic posted looked fabulous but the actual IRL bag posted here looked like a train wreck. JMO

But it doesn’t sound like you love it, so pass!
What’s about it that makes you hesitate- just the colour or something else?
you’re right! the lock closes a tiny bit out of angle. it’s not dramatic and a lot of reissues have it, but it’s something that bothers me. otherwise I think I would’ve already bought it. also the back looks a bit boring. but it still has one of the best fronts I‘ve seen...

I find that usually, if I second guess myself and ask here, I don’t love the bag well enough to keep it.
If it’s just those two reasons you mentioned, then keep looking and see if you find “the one”. Otherwise, there are always other bags to focus on :graucho:

True! if I really want a bag I jump on it and don’t start posting here... ah well..
and that’s true too, there’s always another bag!! but it is so lovely aah :lol:
 
I’m new to reissue. Love this rainbow. Wat is the meaning ‘leather is dry’? Does is it mean it will crack in further ?

Pretty much.
The leather is stiffer and not as supple.
Wrinkles are common for reissue (that aged look) but is more pronounced for this leather.
It’s beautiful brand new, but we don’t know how it will age.
