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!

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

Agreed with everyone here. QC gone down significantly, whereas px continues upward trend.
@monkyjib - Hope you find a replacement soon.

That’s exactly how the inside base of my SO Black Mini in Lamb that I got this month looks.
I’ve seen this before on other bags in prior seasons on Minis specifically. I can’t say if it’s now “normal” but it’s definitely annoying.

Sorry, thought I quoted everyone that posted quality issues with the So Black Mini CF!
My reserve came in and, as much as I was looking forward to this bag, I was disappointed when I saw the inside base of the bag that was extremely lumpy and bumpy. All of the raised lumps and folds in the interior base leather reminded me of a brain: it was that bad. I had to pass on it, but I know at least one of the people behind me will be very excited to get the call. I'm not super picky when it comes to irregularities, if they're SUBTLE and don't affect longevity. This was definitely not subtle. Disappointing.

Oh no! I'm so sorry :sad:. That's really unacceptable quality.

It’s so disappointing... can’t believe they let it pass QC, if there is one.

Sounds like minis generally have more issues than their classic flap counterparts, which is the reason why I gravitate towards classic flaps - although the price is almost double for the medium. Nevertheless, for that kind of price tag, the minis shouldn’t have such glaring issues - seems obvious that they just don’t care. Perhaps they had a bad leather batch and just used it for the minis. Sorry that some of you had to come across it.

Love this color light purple nd359 (but looks more pinkish gray in real life) - definitely one of the prettiest Chanel 19 colors I’ve ever seen - added light beige at end as color reference View attachment 5159491View attachment 5159492View attachment 5159499

I love it too. I did have a choice of the 19 in lilac or beige, but in the end I chose the beige because I needed a beige in my collection. I already have a coco light pink from 21A and a rose WOC. Definitely the colors look so similar, but yeah the lilac has a pink/gray tone which is pretty. I saw it on a trendy and the classic and I was in love.

OK… I just couldn’t let go of the defective “bubbles” on my so black mini’s chain. Unbelievably, I found a replacement and here it is! Definitely no bubbles this time (first thing to check :lol:) The lambskin feels a bit thinner and this seems to make the bag a little lighter. Anyway, I’m happy with it :heart:

Happy for you! That bubbling nonsense was so weird and not IT.
