Oh yes I agree, when it's meant to be it's meant to be. I'm done hunting. I'm truly ok either way at this point. I will live lol.If I may offer some advice (as someone who tends to obsess over symmetry regardless of the price tag, whether its a Chanel bag or a $50 t-shirt that I had to exchange today cause one uneven stitch was driving me insane). Give yourself a break before hunting for your next bag. Every time I have to jump through burning hoops to get something - everything that can go wrong goes wrong and that leads to lingering frustration and resentment. All my best purchases were very casual, where things I wanted were magically available when I was passing by, and were to my satisfaction. If it's meant to be - it's meant to be.
Is this a defect, is this normal for this Chanel item?

Again…Let’s get back on topic please
I recently bought a CF around end Jun and haven't had the chance to use it. Today I discovered to my horror that the leather was peeling on the strap!
Does anyone know if Chanel will replace this under the 5 year warranty?

I know what you mean.. I had the same problem with my classic flap and returned it as it did bother me..!
Did you manage to get it exchanged? I am facing the same problem and the SA says that is normal.. chanel has some serious quality issues
I had the same problem and took it back to the store. The SA said that that is normal as the leather can rub against the metal.. considering it is brand new I don’t agree with him..
I don't know if this is true but maybe it'll help everyone here. I noticed many bags recently with the leather on the seam lifting so I mentioned this to an SA. She said they were informed by Chanel that morning to inform all clients not to touch the bag right after having applied hand sanitizer or other products containing alcohol as that's causing the leather to lift or peel. So it sounded like this is becoming a common complaint if Chanel has asked SA's to inform clients. But please confirm this with your SA. Idk if they will replace the entire chain for this, best to ask them.
Not sure if right place to post but I have a dilemma about a new CF I bought from the boutique a few days ago. It had no issues other than some tight stitching and a minor scratch inside the flap that I wasn’t going to return it for. But now I just noticed that the metal plaque that contains the chip has an off center CC logo! The CC/serial number engraving is noticeably off to one side and not in the center of the plaque. Did not catch this when buying. Is this normal? Would this affect resale if I sell it later, like it appears fake? Wasn’t planning on selling in near future of course. They already “registered” this bag to my Chanel account. Is this worth returning the bag? I feel bad as well because the SA was really awesome.
Edit: this is my first chanel bag. I looked at some photos online of the microchip and the CC engravings/serial numbers do seem off to one side? Is this normal?

There is no chip inside that bag, or if there is, there is no where to scan it at this point. There is a discussion about that in this thread. Do you have pictures you can share of the printing on the plaque? I do share your concern if the printing is off center, it will be flagged for auth.....it would be interesting to ask an authenticator their opinion as well.
I didn’t want to share my particular plaque but what I meant is, the photos online (attached here-top and bottom left photos) of other plaques also have the engraving slightly off to the left but mine seems more off to the left.
These do not look that 'off ' to me, but I would reach out to one of the authenticators in a few of the closed FB groups if you are concerned about your number placement just to see what they say.
None of those look off center, but if yours is, I would also be concerned with authenticity. You can blur out your numbers if you'd like to post yours.
You mentioned you purchased directly from the boutique .. you have concerns of authenticity still ?
Doesn't sound like an issue imo, plus it's already registered in the system through the boutique. I'm not an authenticator by any means but I highly doubt they measure the engravement by the millimeter in order to determine whether the bag is authentic or not.
Ah, I missed that part. I agree completely; no concern if from a boutique.
I don’t have doubt about its authenticity but I’m worried if in the far future I ever want to sell this, others (buyers, consigners etc.) would doubt its authenticity because of the off center issue.
