Agreed! I definitely would not keep it! Not after you paid more than $7000+! Although the zipper pressed against the flap causes a mark they should have wrapped it with the felt. Did it come wrapped? The pink leather to me looks too creased or marked for a brand new fresh piece. If you are happy keep it but I guess you dont and I wouldnt accept it either from the store
Congrats!! Were u on a waitlist or did you reserve with payment? I’m still waiting on mine and losing hope..
I wanted to ask, now that you've had the bag longer, how do you feel about it? I know you had some reservations as to it's feel/shape/structure.
This light pink square mini is available from my SA at stand alone boutique. Pm me ASAP if interested.

I don't see the appealing of the minis. Their construction seems off to me for some reason. 90% of the minis I see have some issue with their structure or flap, they look cheaper than they are and the chains have issues. The classics are much better made in my opinion.
My SA was just sending me pictures of it this morning but I passed on it cause it’s too big on me. Im not sure if it’s the small or medium coco handle. Can’t really tell from the pictures but I can confirm with her again. Are you still interested? I can ask her tomorrow if she still have it.
She’s actually still at work so I just asked her and she said it’s sold already. Sorry!
Thank you! I preordered the bag back in early January, they charged my card in full the day I ordered it. My 1st time doing it for a bag, and also maybe my last. I couldn’t resist not to have this 21P in my collection. Don’t lose hope, my SA said there’s still a lot of shipments from 21P that are coming in. Good luck and I hope you get yours soon!
Honestly, I ended up sending it to Fashionphile and taking a loss because I kept dithering over it and I didn't want to try to return at the last minute. I just never could get over the squishability. For me, this style/shape of bag really needs structure to work, and with the lack of structure and the light weight, it kind of felt cheap or almost like a knockoff to me. I did like the navy color and the trim along the edges, and it definitely photographs well, but in the end it wasn't enough to outweigh the elements I disliked.
It seems like a lot of people are very interested in this particular style, and I certainly understand why! I still strongly recommend that anyone who's thinking of getting it to go see it in person if that is at all an option for you, because to me it's hard to get a sense of how it actually feels in your hand just based on the pictures. You might find that the lack of structure doesn't bother you at all, but alternatively you could be like me and really dislike it, and it would probably be good to know this before you plunk down the cash for it. And heads-up: if you're buying one on Fashionphile, be sure to check those grommets before you hit add to cart . . .
Minis used to be incredibly well made when Chanel still invested in quality control and added edge stitching to their bags. You can definitely see a difference as edge stitching gives structure and equal proportions. Today's Minis often look bulging and only few are made with edge stitching unfortunately.
Yes, will ship it back tomorrow. My other, main SA is trying to get the bag for me now. And started calling the stores to find out about the quality.
