Is this a defect, is this normal for this Chanel item?

Beautiful classic... It looks like an indentation from the flap, probably stored incorrectly. Considering this is nearly a AUD $9000 bag, I would expect near perfection. See if you can exchange. Good Luck.

There seems to be something different about this season’s lambskin, at least on the trendy CCs, which makes it very prone to wrinkling. We discussed it in a Trendy CC thread. I’m not sure if it’s affecting the classics too but I would exchange this if I were you because I’ve had lambskin flaps in previous years and they did not have this issue.

Thanks so much for your comment. I’ve had a look at the Trendy CC thread and it looks like exactly the same issue - very interesting. I’m going to be returning the bag today. Fingers crossed I can get my hands on another one without the wrinkling/ creasing!

yes I would do just the same. Years ago lambskin was so different. A deep saturated colour, glossy and shiny, and so smooth - and definitely no wrinkles. I feel like recent lambskin is more matt and dry, almost satin-like, and therefore prone to creasing. Good luck! Hope you find a better one.

So this is my second Chanel bag purchase and first classic flap, when I got home I was doing a thorough inspection and noticed that the chain has two pieces that stick out, my mini doesn’t look like this. Can you please let me know if this is normal?

 

[Leo the Lion]

Mine also has this and boutique purchased.

Perfectly normal, that’s how they join the two pieces of leather together.

 

[Prettyinpnknwht]

Yep, totally normal! Every Chanel chain-strap bag I have has those, although some seem to be more noticeable than others.

Yes, unfortunately nowadays. They hid it a lot better in my 2009 classic flap bag. The one i bought in the summer last year, in the Chanel store, looks like yours.

I think that if you are not happy with this you should not keep it.

 

[OCMomof3]

Yes, normal. My boutique-purchased 19 bag has this. My Classic, from the 90s, does not. I guess they paid more attention to this detail back then?

So sad that they decrease in quality

 

[LVlifer]

I think for the price these handbags are, the edge of the leather should not be cut off and left like it is. To me it is not "normal.

They really should stitch those bits down to make them stick out less
