Yes, it’s normal. I have the same issue with my 227 but I have silver hardware on light pink leather.
Is this a defect, is this normal for this Chanel item?

I also returned the small sweetheart because I felt the caviar leather was subpar it felt cheap and thinness of it lacked any structure.
I didn’t have any quality issues w the one and only one the store received. With that being said, if you can find a good one without any qc issues I thought this batch of lambskin was lustrous And beautiful.I returned it but was able to find a good one (after looking at 5 in three different cities, which were in horrible conditions). I got her, however, in the city with a higher tax so I paid a $100 more.This batch was not greatest but given resale prices, I am happy I got this one.
The new collection has just come out so, perhaps, they will get more. I would not give up just yet if you really like the bag.
I ended up exchanging my previous bag because the stitching started to become loose but wanted to sanity check with you all. Is it normal for the space between the interlocking CCs to not be completely flat? This is a gift and the recipient asked me if the “warping” will get worse over time.

Thank you! And for you this happened as a result of age and general wear and tear? Not because the metal got wet or anything?
It’s from wear and tear - metal touching/resting/oxidizing on leather.
I have never experienced hardware transferring colour to the leather. I would give it a pass
Hi everyone! I got a mini top handle from a boutique and noticed an indentation in the front. It looks like the leather is just that way. Should I ask for a replacement or am I just being picky? It feels more pronounced when I touch it than it looks in the pictures. I worry about the resale value being affected in case I want to sell it later on but also worry about alienating my SA since I’m remote. Let me know what you think! Thanks!

Hi all! I purchased my first Chanel from the boutique and was so excited when I had found my dream bag that I’ve been looking for for years, the mini flap with top handle. But after bringing it home I noticed some issues with the bag where I’m not sure if I’m just being overly observant or if this is a defect? One of the corners seems like the leather was not adhered properly and almost looks like it’s peeling off and that same side quilt in the 2nd pic shows there’s a ripple in the leather. I had already compared mine with the other one in store which already had other issues with it and settled on this one, so I’m so sad to possibly not be able to find another bag. I had also went back to ask the SA and she kind of said the leather peeling thing was not an issue and it wouldn’t bother her, i just don’t want to seem excessive for asking about it again or returning it. Please let me know your guys’ thoughts!

I have this bag I believe from the same collection as yours 24C (just bought it a month ago). I would return it if I were you (I would not care for the ripple as much) but the "peeling" might cause issues in the future. I hope your SA can find you a better one because leather from this collection on these bags is divine.
Here are some pics of mine for comparison:
