Ugh I had the hardest time deciding between these two: 21B small black classic flap with rose gold hardware or 21A ivory medium classic flap :biggrin:

My amazing SA got approval to sell me both but my wallet simply would not allow me to take them both home :shocked: took home the rose gold but still thinking about the 21A white:heart: View attachment 5158025

Get the rose gold since we don’t know if it will be back again. White will always come back and hopefully when it does, your wallet will allow you to get it. If you had gotten the white, would you be thinking about the rose gold one? If so, then go with the white.

Here’s a comparison. One is smooth and the so black one has lots of wrinkles on the inside flap. I guess I got the piece of leather that was really wrinkled. Even though it bugs me, but at least it’s on the inside and not the outside of the bag. The bottom of my bag actually looks fine. It’s flat with no wrinkles.

My so black’s bottom is wrinkled but it doesn’t bother me. Upon inspection though I found another issue!! For other so black owners, please keep an eye out for the chain part. One of the rings’ coating is not finished properly. It looks like some bubbles have formed during the coating process. Please check yours too, just in case!

You are absolutely right! I ended up with the rose gold because the store said they don’t believe the hardware will be permanent. If I had gotten the white, I’d be thinking of the rose gold :biggrin:Thank you for the feedback! Hopefully another creamy white comes out before the next price increase :)

Adding my pic to the list. I see slight wrinkling on the right if you zoom in and wrinkles on the bottom.

YIKES! WTF is that? The wrinkling is fine, it's lamb after all. Those mutating bubbles are a hard NO.

Ugh- for these prices those bubbles on the hardware would definitely be a deal breaker/exchange for me. The wrinkled leather is *okay fine* but not that! What kind of QC is going on with chanel

Yes, so disappointing. Unfortunately I cannot exchange it since I had to go down the reseller route for this one. I’ll see how it wears and probably will get it fixed later. Can’t believe BOTH of my so blacks (this and the mini reissue) have issues with the chains! My city is still on lock down so not much I can do now.
