Hi everyone!
I go on this forum often and find that a lot of people post about Chanel bags having flaws. Some are very insignificant while others are not, like loose stitches or lopsided flaps. I feel I’ve gotten more nervous about purchasing Chanel bags since they so often have flaws.
I purchased a medium flap the other day that I inspected really closely in store. I thought that the flap itself was perfectly straight and well aligned however when I got home I realized it’s actually not, and the reason it looked perfect in store was that the chain was tucked in lifting the flap a bit.
I realize that it’s a MINOR imperfection, on the left side it’s a bit higher placed than the right side (see pictures). It’s literally just a few millimetres. Some of you probably think this is silly. But this is only my second Chanel bag (my first one has a perfectly aligned flap but had other issues with it).
So, I guess, my question is - is it normal for the flap not to be entirely straight? Or is this a flaw, as in, is the flap lopsided?
So thankful for any advice! It’s a big purchase for me so I just want to be sure I got a good bag
