Picked this up yesterday. Looks like it was barely worn. Smaller than I usually like but the leather is sooooo gorgeous!

It’s really lovely. Even if it is smaller than you are used to, I am sure you will be surprised by just how much you use it - metallic colours are so versatile! I bought the mini classic flap in silver and it lifts many outfits. Enjoy your purchase.

Hey everyone,

I recently received my 24P CCH and noticed the flap seemed crooked compared to my others. Am I seeing things or can anyone tell it seems slightly lopsided?

It looks slightly lopsided but to be honest I feel like most of the coco handles in this size are. I have a black one from 23K in this size and it looks similar. It doesn’t bother me and I don’t consider it to be a defect. I think a bit of variation to bags gives them character! IMG_0463.jpeg

I agree with HD123, most Coco Handle bags I’ve seen look a little lopsided and I don’t consider it as a defect.

It could also be due to the curve of the flap. If you look at your bag’s left and right side profiles, look at how the flap curves, you may see that one side of the flap curves out slightly more than the other side. If it does, the side that is less curved would appear to be lopsided. (Hope I’m explaining this well and I’m making sense 😊)

Love the colour of your new CCH!

Ahhhh you’re right. Definitely makes sense and I can see which side curves out more. I guess it’s so noticeable to me because the flaps on my other CCHs are perfectly straight. Thanks for your input. 😊

I purchased the same bag, and it was also slightly lopsided. I could have lived with a slight lopsidedness but when I put my things in the bag, the lopsided nature become way more prominent and I just could not justify the price tag for a very crooked looking flap that would drive me crazy. The color is beautiful and it was very hard to let go and return. If the lopsided nature does not bother you, I would keep it.

Oh wow! Thanks so much for sharing this. I went to the boutique and a SA applied heat in an attempt to resolve the issue. I was appreciative of the effort and it helped a bit. But you could tell it was still slightly off in the alignment. I understand exactly how you feel in making the decision to let it go. The color is stunning and exactly what I’ve been wanting to add to my collection.

It’s good to know that at least the SA tried to help resolve the issue.

My bag flap was only slightly lopsided so, similar to what your SA has done, I used my hairdryer to apply heat to the inside of the flap, held it down gently and it helped. It’s barely noticeable now because due to usage (lifting the flap to get items in and out of the bag) it kind of balanced itself out 😊
