I just purchased a classic flap m/l and absolutely love it! However, I’m not sure if the quilting is quite right on the two ends of the flap. It seems like it is missing a row of stitching as the diamonds on each end seem too big to me. What do people think? Is this a defect? Is this normal?TIA
Thank youYour bag is completely fine. I think it looks bigger than it is because of the picture. You can check out some other CF’s they’re usually all like that
Enjoy your beautiful bag!
I do feel that the two quilts in the bottom corners of the flap do look a little larger than most others. I too a good look at my own two M/L CFs and yours looks like its just bigger, but they don't conventionally put the row of stitching there... Not sure if this counts as a defect but I completely see what you're saying and it would definitely bother me a little. Really dunno how they'd fix it as there's not usually a row of stitching there.
Hello! I’m new to TPF and recently got my first Chanel bag — m/l classic flap in black caviar with GHW. I unfortunately had to exchange it twice at the boutique (and was told on my third trip that they only allow two exchanges). The first bag I got had a few scratches on the leather (it was peeling!), and the second one (new, unopened from the back) had a loose thread on the corner that they couldn’t repair. On the third try, I got one that seemed really good — brand new and still in all its packaging, had no loose threads and the leather was a bit softer / darker than the other two that I had brought back. As I was trying to examine it more closely, the SA said “it’s unwrapped for you brand new, so it’s perfect,” which made me feel a little embarrassed by my inspecting it so closely.
When I got home and took it out to look over again, I felt that it seemed to slant forward a bit when I set to down. It’s not quite tipping forward (bottom is still flat against the table), and I get that with a double flap, the shape of the bag is inherently not going to be super straight/symmetrical in the front and back. I did want to get the opinions of ladies who own the same bag — is this normal?
I think I might be overly critical after having to exchange 2 of these bags already! At this $$$$ price point for a bag, I would expect that quality control would be much better!
Any advice would be super helpful! Thanks!

That’s completely normal. Don’t get stuck on small details and enjoy your new bag! A loose thread can easily be cut if it’s just an ending that’s loose.
The leather peeling however does not sound good.
Your bag looks absolutely fine, enjoy it!
