The interior doesn't look faded afterwards, and the red colour transfers to the cloth. The bag's only around 2 years old but I live in a pretty humid country...
I think that’s ok
Is this a defect, is this normal for this Chanel item?

I had that issue with my WOC after a few wears too (and it was new from the store) - it got worse and annoyed me after a while so I eventually sent it to Leather Surgeons. They might have either restitched that corner or applied something like what TPFers suggest. It looks better although it’s not a totally flawless fix.Noticed some frayed/loose stitching on the 3rd wear with my WOC (not purchased in store). Could anyone share some tips how to manage it? Part of me was thinking maybe hairspray to keep it in place lol.. or do I cut the loose threads?
I got a little impatient so I ended up buying fabric fusion glue due to someone's recommendation on the forum (old post). I got a pen version cause i only needed a tiny bit, dabbed a bit of the glue on with my finger and left it to dry. It was such an easy fix!!
It would've been a mission for me to travel an hour to the store and back again so I thought nah let's try something out
Hi,
Does anyone else have this issue? The flaps on my jumbo have been like this almost the whole time I’ve had this. What can I do to fix it and what am I doing wrong? I’ve had this bag for less than a year and a half. Thank you!

That’s normal for a classic flap
Be careful about pulling up from the corners, it's reasonable that if one pulls up from the corner on any bag it'll soften that corner. I try and always open mine from the center, gently.
Hi guys, I bought this seasonal white caviar Chanel flap in March this year and I just noticed this on the back. It was definitely not like this when I first got it. I wear it crossbody or on my shoulders on the weekends so it’s not been overused. Is this normal wear and tear? Should I go to Chanel? It’s past the 30 days for return. Thanks!
Oh no! Looks like the top layer of color has peeled off. That seems very excessive to me for weekend wear & considering you’ve only had it for a few months. I would definitely inquire with Chanel but I’m not sure what they can or will do.
Thank you. So sad that their quality is so low. This has never happened to any bags I own. Not even the cheap ones!
Do the gaps in the stitching of this look ok? I think I’m going to purchase this one but wanted to ask your opinions first. Thank you!!
