Hi just wanted to get some assurance here as I am quite new to Chanel ,these are my 2 new classic caviar flaps in the 30 series . They are not as pebbled and quite smooth to the touch .

there was another more pebbled medium for me to choose but the 4 corners at the bottom were not pebbled ( as in you can see some bald spots)

I understand each batch of caviar is different , so hoping this series wears well

Is smoother caviar less durable in any way to a rougher more pebbled one ?

hope to get some opinions here . Thank you thank you to the thread starter too ;)

I have two flaps and one is smooth abs bigger flatter pebbles like yours and my other one more pebbly and matte. The bigger flatter pebbles look glossier - it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s less durable. The pebbly one does feel like I can throw it around more, but they’re all pretty durable. Looks like you got a nice glossy one too!

Hi! Im a new member here so I still can’t post a thread of my own.
I’m also a Chanel newbie and I just purchased my first Chanel bag- a Small Classic Flap Caviar Black in GH last Oct.19 2020 through a personal shopper and I had it delivered to my address. He got it through Neiman Marcus in Coral Gables, Fl.

I was overseas at that time and I was just panick-buying thinking about the rumors of having another price increase in Nov. I got to unbox around 1st week of Dec 2020.

I love the leather and everything but I just realized that the strap ends are weird and popping out of the chain. Is this normal? Does this happen often? I chatted with a Chanel staff online on their website and she said “it shouldn’t be sticking out that much” and I also contacted Neiman Marcus through chat but they said it’s beyond the return period.

Should I just let this strap issue go and use it (Ps. i still have the tags on) OR have it replaced through After-sales return (but I don’t know if it works if I bought it from NM) OR should I sell it and buy another one personally so I can check it, in stores(but will I ever get hold of one? Some said it’s hard to find these days)

this may be like a shallow issue to some but it’s my first ever splurge and first ever Chanel, I just thought it would be perfect and flawless

if you’re still reading this up to here- thaaaanks for reading i would really appreciate your replies and thoughts on this4CB1EFD6-C3E2-41B2-9314-CC226947D130.jpeg

Mine doesnt stick out that much but they can cut it for you I am sure. Just send her to any Chanel boutiques. That part will be bothersome if you pull the chain strap around the grommets.
