My bag came with a tear. Got another and was going to return but the color is less shiny on the new one. I don’t know what to do! Will they discount if I keep the damaged one?

I can't seem to see what you're referring to in the picture. I can't see any damage.

Chanel will not give you a discount if you keep a damaged item. If you show it to them and you intend on keeping it, they will offer to repair it for you, but you'll be without the bag for a few months.

Damage isn’t shown in the photo, the difference in color is. Going to ask about a repair though tomorrow thank you :smile:
 
Damage for reference. Small tear on bottom. My boyfriend is saying he thinks to keep the damaged one if it’s not a bag I think I will get bored of and sell because I’ll see the color everyday but the bottom of the bag rarely. Asked someone who collects Chanel and she said repair is not offered for iridescent or metallic bags :sad: I feel like they may be able to use a tiny tiny drop of glue to hold the ripped piece down and call it a day? I dunno

I will not keep the damage one if you are paying full price for it! I can't accept the bag with the peeling of the leather. It will bug me every time I pick up the bag. I bought a bag with a rubbed corner and I wasn't looking carefully until the 14 days return period is over and I am so upset looking at it. I hope you can find another perfect bag.

I got it before the price increase so $200 less, but still expensive. Think you all are probably right about keeping the not damaged one haha
 
I think it’s a good decision to not keep the damaged one. It could begin peeling or ripping after a little bit of use. If you received the other one with no comparison, you may not have noticed the difference in shine. Lucky you to get it before the increase also!
