Hi ladies. I just received my 24S mini classic flap. I feel like the flap is lopsided. What do you all think?? Feel free to point out anything else you see. Would you return this bag if you were me? I have attached pictures. Thanks!
Is this a defect, is this normal for this Chanel item?

It looks perfect to me! I don’t see anything lopsided anywhere.
Edited to add I can see a little tilt in the first photo but not in the other ones. If it bothers you return it.

No, it's fine. This bag is soft so it happens. Try putting your things inside and see how it looks after it's stuffed.
Sorry to be the only one to agree but I do see what you're referring to. If you look at the bottom half of the quilted diamonds where the bottom part of the flap overlaps when closed, there is a noticeable difference in the size that is visible/covered (see attached photo). If this bothers you (and I suspect it does) I think you should see if boutique has another one you can compare to and potentially swap it for. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect better workmanship at this price point.
I purchased a bag and noticed an imperfection the minute I opened the package. Everyone told me not to worry about it, that I should just use the bag and enjoy it. Well I almost never use it and the couple of times i have, I am distracted and disheartened by the visible flaw. If you think you can adjust it or get used to / overlook it (because its really not super noticeable) then enjoy!

I agree. And I see it too. Due to how it is “lop-siding,” one side of the bag looks ever so slightly bigger than the other when closed. This may not bother most people. If you think this has a slight chance of bothering you over time, then may be safer to swap for another one.
It’s perfectly fine, don’t be one of those people over analysing, it’s a hand made piece you wouldn't want it to be precise. Enjoy your new bag.
Not understanding this mentality..... why would you not want a bag that costs several thousand dollars to be "precise"? Not like purchasing a hand-made item at school craft fair.
It depends.....
A hand made handbag is not a precision device like an iPhone, so super scrutiny isn't necessary. For me the bag looks okay, I didn't notice the flaw so I would keep it. Some ppl stress over a lose thread.
But if you're type A and you notice the imbalance immediately, then this bag isn't for you. You have to find a replacement so call your SA.
Not my bag, I am not the OP. I simply pointed out where I see the lopsidedness but that was because we were specifically asked to look. I honestly don't think it's that noticeable in the other photos and likely, noone would notice when using the bag out in the real world, but if it's going to bother the owner, then she should look at other bags. JMHO
Sadly I think they all are. I returned my lopsided purse and even the SA agreed that it was a bit lopsided. I should not have to talk myself into a purse at these price points. I ended up getting a vintage purse.
Hi everyone! I noticed a thread coming from the back of my cf bag, is this normal? The thread isn't loose, it's connected to the edge of the bag. This is only on the left side and the right side is completely normal with no threads. This bag is from 2012 it is a series 17 bag. Thank you
