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

OMG I have the exact same bag with the same issue, around 1mm to the left, depending on the angle, it's also the second bag i looked at.
Otherwise I'm really happy with the bag so I don't really want to exchange it (i got it March 7, couple of days before lockdown, so not sure that would even be possible). I wonder if it can be fixed by unscrewing and ever so slightly moving it?

Hello everyone, I recently purchased my dream bag, the Chanel classic medium double flap in caviar leather and silver hardware. I inspected the bag very closely at the boutique and I was sure I did not see any defect but... I realize now that the logo may be a bit off/asymmetrical... I took measurements and there is 1 millimeter of difference between the top of the logo left vs. right side. Am I crazy or do you see it too and would you try to return the bag? Is the logo of your Chanel bag perfectly straight? I'm wondering if I should contact the SA who sold it to me (more than one month ago...) to see if an exchange would be possible given that this could be considered as a defect...View attachment 4700951 View attachment 4700952 View attachment 4700953

Hi All,
I recently stumbled onto this thread as I was trying to search online on the wear and tear of boy chanel hardware.
To all chanel boy owners out there, does the "D-rings" on your chanel boy start to chip after awhile? Mine is only 5 months old in brushed gold hardware =(, not sure if it is normal but pretty sad about it.

This has been bothering me tons. I bought a beige clair medium class flap from instagram seller Julia Rose. She listed it as excellent with minor signs of wear at $5295. This is a 16 series back, so probably around 8 years old? I received it and it is in excellent condition except the bottom kind of “bows” out. Perhaps. Something really heavy was put in there? Anyway, I wrote Julia and it’s always sooooooo hard to get any sort of reply from her whether I have buying inquiries or want to sell. Someone on her team says that this bowing out can happen with age. I’ve attached pictures and it was a little difficult to snap a pic of what I’m clearly seeing with the naked eye.

Do you think I paid too much for this bag and this bowing is a defect? Or is it still considered excellent condition?

TIA

I picked up something on my wishlist before the price increase and it just arrived today - reissue 224!

I was surprised when I got it to see this big crease across the front flap. Is that normal for a new reissue? I’ve never seen that happen for new reissues, just older ones. Thanks in advance for your advice - this is my first reissue.

Any defects can happen even in a totally new item from a boutique. I don't know if you can see that it's concave at the bottom.

Such a pretty color!! Is that a soft pink? And no, I can’t see that it’s concave...

Did you buy preloved or new? I want to lead a sustainable lifestyle by buying more preloved items, but then I run into the risk of not having something perfectly new. :amuse:

It's NOT preloved, but a boutique new, but it has still a defect. However, it is similar to the one that you have in your bag. I cannot see the defect that you're talking about. Isn't it crazy that you can see, but others cannot see? I have had so many of the cases for the boutique new bags.
