Is this a defect, is this normal for this Chanel item?

I don't know, that would kind of bother me if it's new. I would probably ask if an exchange is possible.

I can't believe this is your new blue classic? I have seen a few pop up on the store stock thread so I feel like you would be able to get a different one if you wanted to return or exchange. Good luck with your decision.

That's it - I will ask for an exchange tmr. @atlsweetpea11 Yes this is the 22p blue I just posted on the thread Thank you both so much for replying to my msg!! I was really questioning if I am being too picky...

Do any of you know if returning would mess up the 1 bag per month limit?

I am not entirely sure about returns and the purchase limit. I would think that if you went back to the original boutique and SA you got that bag from and see if you can exchange for a different one you should be good. I seem to remember seeing some other tPFers that stated a return and an attempt to purchase elsewhere might be an issue because of the purchase limit. Again, I am not sure so please don't take my word for it Hopefully the boutique or SA you got the bag can help with some questions.

Yep - I'm definitely going to try that first. I just hope she's not going to be mean about this... since I think she slipped it in last time that this is the last one (which I highly doubt it ). Either way, thank you so much again and good luck to me

Not signing or stamping the booklet is normal. Mine wasn’t either, but of course I know I bought mine from the store.

Considering how expensive these flaps are now, they better arrive in perfect brand new condition. (Of course they always should of, but you know what I mean.) The tiny scratches wouldn’t bother me, but the top of the flap would.

If you can’t wipe off that residue, and make the stitching look normal, I would return it and ask for another.

I returned the bag and my SA will ship me another brand new one today so finger cross this time it will be as close to perfect as possible

Saw on a different thread you were able to exchange. So happy that worked out for you! Hoping that the new one that is coming to you is flawless.

I just noticed a line today near the front bottom of my 226 reissue. The line is actually the lining seam that is showing/popping through the front side of the bag since the liner is shorter than the outside front panel. The lining bottom seam does not sit flash to the outside bottom seam so there is space at all four corners. I hope I am explaining this correctly. Lol Is this normal for reissue bags? I have another 227 reissue that is 13yrs old and never experienced this on the 227 size. Does some reissue have shorter lining length?

doesn't look like a peel, just looks like the leather, perhaps glue or maybe something that occurred when the leather was being treated. If you can't tell what it is, I wouldn't worry about it, but that's just me

I agree, this looks like a bit of glue. Try gently rubbing it with your finger. It should peel off easily.

Ive had my caviar jumbo for a few months now, and I only just noticed the…glue or wax?…between the chain links. It’s not noticeable, I’m just wondering if this is common. I wouldn’t even bother sending it in for a repair. The bag is beautifully constructed otherwise.

I asked you ladies about my small CF which has some white residues on stitching in the inner flap a few weeks ago. Glad I returned it and I got a brand new one from my SA and this time it was perfect. Thanks everyone. Never settle and find your perfect bag

My mini reissue is like this as well. The inner lining is slightly shorter than the outer part of the bag. I posted awhile ago asking if this was normal but didn't get any replies. But sounds like it is? Mine doesn't result in a line on the outside like yours, but maybe that is due to it being a smaller form factor and I don't pack it that much.

Hi! I got this small leboy at the store, and I’m wondering if the lock and the top part of the bag creases are considered normal for leboy?

 

[phoebe.bqueen]

It reminds me of a red Chanel wallet I have, the quit patter isn't perfect alighted. I guess it's rare but can happen

I learned more…it’s actually not glue or wax. It’s a white powder that wipes clean. One of my SAs says it might be something used in the construction of the chain.

Hi Everyone! After many, many years of debating I finally pulled the trigger on my first chanel dream bag. Medium caviar classic flap. I am hoping you can help me- after further inspection of the bag, I noticed the stitching on the corners is a bit ragged and one side of the bag bulges compared to the other being perfectly aligned.

I was on a waitlist for this bag since 2021 and also had a hard time having a SA sell me without previous purchase history other than earrings. Is this normal for a brand new bag? I am debating exchanging. I do not mind waiting for another if I knew it would not have a similar issue.

I know they are "handmade" but would love to hear opinions from anyone else who has recently purchased this. It was $10K after tax- something I never imagined in my wildest dreams spending and just wanted it to feel "perfect"
