Well done!

For the future reference, hair dryer works well as well. You can put it on lower setting and iron out wrinkles without risk of damaging the leather. My clothes steamer is really powerful so I was afraid to use it on my boy bag when it got wrinkles from the storage. Blow drier did the trick but it took longer time to get them out.

thanks everyone for your advice- just a quick update on how i went!
i was told because it was over 2 weeks (it was 1 month and 1 week since purchase date) they could not do an exchange and also because it was bought overseas they really couldnt do anything to help. the only other option was to quality check the bag but the store manager said even if she sent it to the quality team, she was almost certain they would not deem it as 'defective' therefore they will unlikely change it or fix it. she advised me to store the bag with tissue paper and store flat- and said maybe the wrinkle came from the bag standing up (with the CF being top heavy and gravity taking a toll over time) and that it might help.

I decided to keep the bag because I've wanted this bag for soooo long, and to be at peace with it- accepting it fully, and to see it as a special characteristic of the bag and stored it like @protein_ kindly suggested.. i didn't really notice a difference after a few days but i decided it was fine and to just enjoy using the bag ....and then i came across a couple of youtube videos showing you could steam wrinkles out of lamskin!

i thought this couldnt be risky... but I just had to try it. I put a dust bag over the wrinkled part and put my hand under the first thin section of the bag to put pressure against on the wrinkled bit from underneath and ran the steamer over that section a few times and.....taaadaaaa the wrinkle has improved!! i am so happy. I then let it air dry and help it inside my fridge for a bit.

Wow you did an amazing job! I would've never known you had wrinkling at the bottom. Hehe I even zoomed in because I couldn't believe it :tup:

Just wanted to share the vanity that I picked up from 22S…. and a [very chatty] backstory lol. Full disclosure…This was a completely-random purchase lol.

So initially I bought the small caviar vanity (SLG version). I have really been loving vanity purses lately because I’ve gotten into luxury beauty products, mostly Dior and some Chanel… so I love the novelty/feminine vibe of housing/displaying my beauty products on the go and in place of just tossing them in a pouch that gets lost in a big bag lol. Plus I don’t carry a lot these days. The small vanity is cute, but idk… I have the camellia one from seasons ago and honestly I don’t need another that’s just so similar etc. So initially I was debating on keeping it not. I’m just trying to be more economical with purchases because I want my collection to have more variety. So I was likeeee… I should have gotten the one with the new metal handle that has the really pretty ‘Chanel’ latticing detail… but the hardware is too gold for me and idk how it’s going to hold up with grabbing it constantly… and what if my hands are wet and it…. starts to rust? I’m probably overthinking it, but I swear I’m like the fkn Goldilocks of Chanel vanities…. lol

So ANYWAY…. I saw this newish style vanity on our beloved Red app (which is strangely more satisfying than Instagram even though I don’t understand a single word of Chinese) and the moment I saw it… I was like OMG I HAVE TO HAVE IT… which, you know, many of us do that all the time with Chanel lol… so then I was like OKAY… CALM THE EFF DOWN… It’s really NOT that serious. But I kept seeing these beautiful Chinese women flaunting it all over Red lmao… and I really couldn’t stop thinking about it. I loved that it actually LOOKED like a vanity, I think what sold me was the leather top handle and of course the shape… OH and the beautiful CC logo 3D stitching on the bottom lol. Needless to say… I had to have it lol. I just got it today and I FREAKING LOVE IT!!!!

So if anyone is interested or on the fence… I highly recommend it! Although, I will warn you that you have to place your phone diagonally lol… so I am probably going back to the iPhone mini so it will fit correctly lmfao… The Measurements are 11 x 15 x 12 cm, like it’s definitely smaller in person than how it looks in pics. It looks fatter and bulkier in photos I would say. It’s basically their regular size vanity model, only shorter… which I prefer because I don’t have to dig for my items. Price is $4800… which is steep because it’s like 2x the price of the small vanity (which can properly fit a phone) but it’s really well made and the details are really nice… so *personally* I think it’s worth it if you love vanity bags in general lol, like this is a beautiful item to collect and cherish. Anyway… here’s my ‘reveal’ plus what fits inside… it has a tiny little pocket that can fit 2 mini Dior perfume bottles lol…
