It would bother me. I had to return a mini rectangular in the past because of the same imperfection.

oh- I do NOT think it is too obvious...wear it and enjoy it! For me I am ok with a little "imperfection"...and in this case it is really just the character of leather. I dont think that anyone truly would see "it" when you are wearing and moving and opening and closing.
Congrats! This color has been repeated 5 times now lol so yes colors do repeat! I think it got super popular for 21p because everyone was home. I think before then it was 16 and 19.Woooooooo I can finally drool over my very own caramel miniI’m over the moon that I’ve been able to add this to my collection after swooning over everyone’s 21p last year - so glad I didn’t cave into the reseller route in the end. Chanel DOES repeat colours contrary to what I was told, even if with slight variations so have faith! I’m no vip or big spender so I’m very grateful for an amazing sa. I get everyone’s obsession - it’s so beautiful I can’t stop staring!
Good luck to everyone still waiting for theirs.

Ugh
I'm feeling the pain of this dilemma. I would constantly argue with myself back and forth on it. Knowing you probably jumped hoops just to get it cuz it's a highly coveted bag but it's visibly wrinkly. Like you said, I wouldn't care if it was on the back but the fact that it's on the front and on the flap part just makes me whine.Try just wearing it around the house for a day or 2 and convince yourself to ignore that it's there. If you think you can get over it and it bothers you less and less, than keep it. But if those wrinkles are all you can see and it bothers you, then I would just return it. Let it come down to the option you'd regret less later on.
I would keep it & try using it & see how you feel . If it was a classic flap which you could easily exchange then I would , however we are talking about the large heart bag in black which will be almost impossible to get another one from Chanel.
Would you regret no longer having this bag , only you will know the answer.
Good luck deciding , it is such a beautiful bag .
Wow.. I didn’t know you can actually steam Chanel lambskin bags using a steamer. I will definitely check that out! I tried rubbing it, but didn’t work, if anything, I think it’s even more deflated through constant rubbing. My SA is on vacation, but I’m hoping something can be done when he’s back.
Yes, it’s very noticeable that’s why I had to post it up on here to get opinions since I couldn’t decide it for myself and was stuck in this dilemma the whole day. That’s the first thing my eyes are drawn to every time I look at the bag.
I really like the bag and I know how hard it is to get one. I’m hoping my SA can do something about it when he’s back from vacation.
The wrinkles are the first thing I see every time I look at it. It’s so annoying. Why can’t these expensive bags be in perfect condition?
You’re right. Since it’s lambskin and will eventually get scratched up anyways, I should just enjoy it. I guess I just need some time getting used to the wrinkles first lol
Ugh

Yes, this bag was so hard to get! That’s why it’s such a dilemma right now. They’re so expensive, why can’t they at least make the front look more pleasing to the eyes? It’s the first thing that gets my attention when I look at it.
Yes, it’s one of a kind and super hard to get. I’m grateful to even have one in my hands. The wrinkles do bother me for such an expensive bag, but maybe I’ll give it a few more days, I might just learn to accept it

I know it would upset me every time I look at it
. I’m sorry. That sucks.
I’m so heartbroken. I received my caramel mini today. Upon inspecting the bag, I found a longgggg scratch line, run up to half length of the strap. I texted my sa knowing that my chance of finding a replacement is non existence. My sa said they had about 12 ppl in line waiting for this bag. I don’t want to compromise and keep a flawed bag. So off to the next client it goes. Oh and before sending it off, I got to snap a picture of the 22s square mini with my 21p cch. One is caviar and the other one is lamb so the color looks quite different. It would be great if I can have both in my collection since they’re so different. But oh well, I guess we’re not meant to be

Omg I’m heart broken for you! I’m picking up my caramel mini rectangle tomorrow and I’m really hoping she’s perfect. I really wished Chanel had better quality control.
Hi Anyone seen this Vanity bag? Black or pink ( preferably larger size, not the small one that’s on website). I called 1-800 chanel but they don’t have any idea what I’m talking about or their system saying not available in USA . I know US must have this bag.
Pic is from PF member who posted here earlier. i need the reference number or trying to locate one. If anyone has info plz share!! TIA!

My SA from stand alone boutique had this bag when the collection launched about 2 weeks ago. Reference number is AS3222 B08006 94305. This is for the black color in the bigger size. Hope you’ll find one!

Can you see if your SA can send it in for repair under the warranty before returning it? Since it’s on the strap, it might be easier to fix like they can buff out the long scratch line or maybe replace a new strap since it came like that? I just bought a bag and it also had a flaw with severe wrinkles on the quilts in the front flap, but that’s harder to fix so they might not do it for mine.
