Caring for Chanel CAVIAR Leather

I just bought it on the 18th but it's been in the box this whole time since my family came in and did not approve when I mentioned I wanted to buy it, this is the M/L and it still has its tags on!


If it bothers you, exchange it while you have time. I feel like in m/l size there's more stress right on that seam as the opening is quite small compared to jumbo.
 
Also found a loose seam on the interior, literally hanging by a thread! Tell me this doesn't happen over time, I haven't even used the bag yet!

I would ask them to fix the loose stitch in the above picture-the other pic looks fine to me. It's so hard to find a bag that is 'perfect' , unless there is another one in stock etc. The loose stitch is a easy fix as the above poster noted. Let us know what they say!

Thanks ladies! I'll update over the weekend when I have time to go to the store!
 
Good news! I was able to exchange the bag, the SA agreed it was a terribly loose Sean. They had shown me one which had unusual white stuff coming out of the threads all over the bag, I was smarter this time and really examined the bag. I asked if they had another one and it was perfect! Can't wait to start using her!!

So glad they exchanged it! I wouldn't want a new bag fixed or worked on!
 
I just got home and during my drive home I was thinking in my head that the leather felt different, I was honestly just happy that I didn't have this crazy loose part of my bag. But I started remembering how some of the TPFers have said the new bags seem to be a different quality. It differently feels smoother than my original bag I just got home and when I took it into my room, I could see little white things coming out of the seams just like the other one at the store!!! I'm kind of disappointed now, is the stuffing coming out or something? This definitely did not happen with the original one I purchased.
 
Little white stuff might be from my dust bag, but I do think my exchange ended up being a different caviar, I was reading a thread about the stiff caviar and soft caviar. Oh well! Thanks for your help ladies!
