Chanel’s Rise & STALL: Defects, Difficulties & Deflection (formerly the 19 tote saga thread)

[TraceySH]

Just bought 2 of these last week. Used the beige TWICE. I carry nothing in my bags, and when I say "used" I mean 2 hours a day for 2 days. This is all 4 attachments of the chain to the bag. Just trying to keep you guys from making the same mistake.

MY SA is awesome, taking them back immediately, horrified. So that's good, but not worth all the headache if you can avoid...

From a little further away...

This is horrible and I'm so sorry you had this experience. I have been admiring this bag but now I will stay away!

Totally not acceptable.

Not a good look, and on a darker bag this would look even worse

I was just considering this bag after being disappointed by backpacks. Thanks for sharing this

I know, unbelievable. My SA said she can't even keep up with the complaints coming in every day about defects. They are just refunding refunding refunding. I feel sorry for the SA. I bought the black too, tags on, and only 7 days since it arrived. Glad I saw this now, not later.

Wonder if all these issues are due to a particular type of leather .Is this leather Similiar to the 22 bag ?

I know. I know I am and have been a mouthpiece for Chanel, the good and the bad. And have always tried to be objective and tell it like it is. This might just be the last straw for me. I'm exhausted from TRYING to make them be what they used to be in my head.

Yeah it's not leather. Neither is the 22 bag. Bonded leather at best. See the peeling above the chafing? NOT leather lol.

Wow! Is it advertised as lambskin?

Not 100% lambskin. That's the difference. It could be 1%, 5%, 10%. Bonded leather is the back side of real leather, the discarded part, then used to put a polyurethane coating on. It can still be called leather legally.

This is exactly what the 22 bag has been doing. This is not leather, you can see how it appears the painted coating is cracking on top. It is so thin... there is no substance to it. My concern is, is this how the new 19 bags and other things are being made too? We deserve better for a $5k bag.
