Where was your bag made?
This happened to my "Made in Italy" Jumbo after ONE wear, I got it replaced at Saks. I now have the Made in France, but have not used it yet...

probably means there was a quality control glitch in the manufacturing. Yours will not be the only bag that has this happen. Taking it back is the best option. Then Chanel can look back at the process and see what happened and how to prevent it in future.

Does your bag have the 22k hallmark on the CC?

I just posted that I bought a new black caviar flap with gold hardware (france) and it does NOT have the 22k hallmark on the CC. Besides driving down the value of the bag (as all vintage bag with gold hardware have this hallmark), I'm worried that the missing hallmark means the hardware is not made with 22k gold anymore and thus lower quality. Anyone care to share their opinion on this?

Is it matte gold? I know matte gold does not have the gold plate hallmark. I also notice that without the gold plate hallmark, the plating wears down faster.

Good luck with getting this resolved. I hope they'll replace it for you instead of just fixing it and making you wait months for you bag. Let us know what happens.

I'm sorry to hear that. Yes, definitely bring it back to the boutique, keep us posted.

So sorry to hear that, I got a brand new one too which I purchased almost 6 months ago but haven't worn it. I think it's also Made in Italy. I better check now.

Did you agree to pay the fees? I would have argue with them because their stuffs are so expensive! They have to be worth it. Chanel makes me upset, after hearing about their bags, their costume jewelry... I mean, where is the customer service, mostly right now when they don't even meet their sales goal!!! You ladies should really complain about this.
