Thank you for your reply! It is assuring to know that the corners and chain are normal, not defect. The termination point just doesn't feel very smooth because of that popped out part. I'll go to the store to compare with other cf to see if their chains have this kind of long left-out part on the chain. But if it is not defect I might just keep it. Thank you!nt sure if the caviar part is a defect, but the strap is normal thats the termination pointhowever if it bothers you you should bring it back to the store and ask for a new piece for comparison
Is this a defect, is this normal for this Chanel item?

I agree, all of what you pointed out is normal from what I know. My Mini CF in Caviar is the same: The corners are the areas where the leather is significanty stretched into shape - its formed into an almost 90 degree angle, mind that, and no leather pattern - may it be caviar, or any other surface pattern, will remain unfaced from this streching/bending into shape. Mine looks identical in all the places where the leather is formed into shape - all corners and edges, that is. I hope what I say makes sense.Thank you for your reply! In terms of the corners, I meant the grained texture of the caviar leather at the corners are not as prominent. But if you don't see the issue at all, I guess it's not a problem
I just don't like to go through the exchange process, unless I have to. Also, this color is hard to get, I could imagine that I have to wait for so long for getting a new one.
Thanks again!
amazing bag btw, enjoy it!!
Hi Ajacent, I have the same issue. just got a flap bag from
Boutiq. Noticed the chain cuts into the skin when carry. After examine notice this, is this normal or defective? SIL helped to buy on 22/Jan in Paris. Wonder if can exchange for one in SG? It just doesn’t feel right, the chain leather edges feel sharp too
Can any experienced Sistas advise more? Is it after season the leather will soften? I have a jumbo flap previously and thought it wasn’t like this.

Hi, I found a workaround to deal with it. I just move this part close to the bag so that my arms or body won't be scratched. I found it a bit annoying at first, but now I think as long as the chain is functioning pretty well, I'm ok with it. It doesn't seem like a defect, and if it really bothers you, you can try bringing it back to a boutique and have it exchanged or repaired.Hi Ajacent, I have the same issue. just got a flap bag from

I was going to say just move the chain around until the part that bothers you is inside the bag, underneath the flap
You can also “turn/flip” the links around if they aren’t lying flat...I have to do this with my bags
Is this normal? The curve on the edge seems a little off to me. The corner of the bag also has tight stitching which makes it look like the leather is cracking if you know what I mean. I could still exchange the bag but Im thinking twice coz the first bag I was offered was so dull and rough to the touch. I turned it down. But this one I like the leather more. I’ll upload the picture of the bag too.

It looks normal to me. If everything else is fine, I would keep it. Good luck with your decision,
Do you think the caviar is just fine? I heard there are different caviars being released.
Looks absolutely stunning to me. Is that 19P caviar? I'm hoping to get that exact bag next weekend!
Yes! Its series 27 from 19P. Post here what you’ll get too. So excited for you.
Looks normal to me too, it's a nice bag
Yea... its just that to me its not perfectly curved. But its not so obvious. Are the tight stitches on the corners of the bag normal? Coz it looks like a crack but not really.
Last month I had a feel of the 19c caviar, maybe its just that shipment but the leather is so dull, rough and matte looking.
