I received my black lamb skin, classic flap today and I’m so disappointed with the quality. I’m wondering where Chanel’s quality control is….View attachment 5121427View attachment 5121428
I’m not surprised.. one of my NM SAs sold me the same bag and it had DEEP scratches on the front flap and the back. He took a photo of it but you couldn’t see the scratches in certain lighting. It looked as if it got hit by a train. It was a 29 series and 31 series just started, so I guess it has been sitting on the shelf for awhile and needed to be sold. I can’t believe they sell it in this condition at this price.

I just ordered another one yesterday sight unseen from Saks SAA and hope there are no problems with it. Fingers crossed…
 
Just received my caramel cf and she is gorgeous. A huge shout out to @LilyLA as she so kindly posted in this forum the availability to reserve this cf. Without her help I don’t think I would have been able to score the bag. And the fact that I got the bag just 2 days before the price increase makes it even more special.
Congratss Dear, how is the shade IRL? I really want to see some comparison between 21P lambskin with 21A caviar
 
Just took a look at the burgundy mini rectangular at the boutique and the flap was so crooked....The SA was trying to tell me this is normal :annoyed:

Anyways, she told me there is a new policy, apparently no more transferring from another boutique if amount is not over 500 Euros. Can someone confirm this? Is this new?

They sent me a pic of a second bag, which was also the same. The third bag I picked up yesterday was fine :)

To me it is a true caramel, more vibrant than the 21P. I do not have any 21P bags or slgs to compare in real life, but here are some of the pictures I found on Insta
