That’s true. I bought it in today and they’re goin to send it into Chanel repair to see what they can do....it’s a beautiful bag though. Hope u get to get one soon!Oh no! I sure hope it doesn't get any worse. It's very tiny now and doesn't look too bad but I'm concerned that it could get even worse in timeI don't own one so can't give you any advice on it though. I'm really sorry this happened after only 4 times using it . It's a beautiful bag .In fact it's my dream bag .
Help with peeling Chanel caviar leather
- Thread starter iloveshoesies
- Start date
Yes I will bring it in this week, however I purchased this second handed and the seller didn't disclose on the chipping of the hardwares.
I just purchased a brand new medium classic double flap couple of days ago from Chanel boutique, everything looks fine except for this one corner where the leather is peeled. I felt disappointed as Classic medium inventory has been very low and sold out in the whole country. Could you ladies please advise if this is unacceptable or negligible? Im worried if the leather peel will become worse in the future
I would exchange it for another one. When I bought my medium CF, I looked at 8 of them and they all had something wrong with them. For this amount of money, it should be near perfect when you get it.I just purchased a brand new medium classic double flap couple of days ago from Chanel boutique, everything looks fine except for this one corner where the leather is peeled.

Aww, I had nothing to compare at all, the boutique only had two of these med one when I purchase it and the other one was sold when I got there, looks like I need to make a trip to the boutique, sigh! You are right, for such a big amount of money, it has to be near perfect.
Yes make sure it’s perfect! I brought mine in to the boutique and they sent it for repair...
@purple.belle I would wait until you get the 'near perfect' one. The only downside is they may increase prices before you get a hold of one. If you are in the US, they should have regular deliveries. Where are you based?
@vivaciousbev1 I swear quality control does not exist at Chanel! For a new out of the box bag, it should be perfect and not have to be sent in for repairs.
I’m based in Australia. It’s currently soldout nationwide. We do not have such a regular deliveries over here, its about a couple of months we get the Classic in. Am also worry about the increase of price and also the length of time to wait for the next one as unless they can tell me exactly when they will get the next delivery and hold for me.
I don’t know what to do at this point!!
Updates:
I have exchanged for a new classic medium. Unfortunately since its handmade its impossible to find a flawless handbag and I have chosen the new one over the previous one I had (which is leather chipped off at corner). The new one I had has minor flaws as well. Do you girls think this is a better choice than the first one I had purchased? The exchanged one has thicker caviar more grains and less shiny, made in Italy. The previous ones has leather peel was made in France, much softer shinier leather and also lighter by 96g. What do you girls think?
(First three pictures are exchanged mew handbag while the last pic shows the previous ones I had with the leather peel flaw)

Hi everyone. I am seeking for some advice from all of you guys. I bought my medium classic flap last month, and I checked the bag after inboxing it. Maybe I was too excited when I got the bag. I didn’t check careful enough.
Last night I took it out and found a part of the caviar leather is peeling/broken.
Is this acceptable or normal ?
Because I haven’t used the bag yet. Not even once. Is it a defect?
Since it has been over one month, if I take it back to Chanel boutique, will they still exchange for me ?
Actually this is not the FIRST quality issue I have been experienced. Sometimes I wonder if I am the unlucky one all the time, or Chanel’s handbag got problems all the time.
I need you guys’ thought and advices.

I would go back to the store and exchange for another one. These days the buying experience at Chanel involves you to look over the bag in its entirety for any flaws, flap misalignments, loose stitching, etc.
