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

[lsquare]

It‘s normal, in my opinion. I think it will become permanent over time. I suggest adding a bit of cream if you live in dry climate.

Thank you. What kind of cream? Any specific brand?

I bought a mini and noticed that it wrinkles quite a bit when I open the flap (pic 3). Is it normal? Will the wrinkles become permanent over time? I also bought a square mini and it doesn’t appear to be a problem with that one, so I just want to make sure. Any guidance is appreciated.

Yes - this is normal! All of my bags do it - even caviar.

I like Meltonian for my C lamb and caviar bags (if you can find it).

I’ve heard some people recommend Saphir out and about, but I have not had experience with it.

I use Saphir renovator on my lamb bag and it makes the leather buttery soft! I also use it on my caviar bags and it definitely moisturize the leather. I live in a dry climate and often use it to condition my leather.

Thank you both!

Yes! No worries, It’s organic material

True. I think I will return it and keep the square as the chain on the rectangular is too long for me.

Hello all,

I purchased a beautiful WOC and it arrived today!

However, I opened the bag and after removing the felt, the first thing I noticed was a dent in the leather, right where the zipper would hit.



is this normal? I’m really disappointed since my SA said that this was brand new, and it absolutely seems as such with the protective plastic on the snap closure - but this is a very noticeable “dent” that clearly cannot be repaired.

I want this WOC - it’s gorgeous and perfect for me in terms of functionality - but if I were to request an exchange would I likely get one that has the same defect? It doesn’t seem to have anything else wrong with it.

IMO, that's normal and inevitable. Nothing to worry about and I think you should keep it!

 

[Venessa84]

This wouldn’t bother me and I’d keep it especially if the rest of the bag is perfect. But if it really bothers you ask for another one but keep in mind the same thing might be there.

I have one that has that mark. It is from the zipper and does not bother me. Its stunning, enjoy it!

Yes the zipper always does this on the WOC; so annoying.

thank you all so much! It does indeed seem like a weird design flaw of the Boy WOC. I did some fashionphile research and all of the bags I saw have the same issue, so it seems inevitable to happen, I’ll just have to make sure not to make it worse when storing and using the bag!

She’s going back in the box until Christmas, but I’m so excited to use her!

wow ok, it’s both reassuring and kind of sad that it’s common and not fixed by a slight redesign. My boyfriend suggested using quilting/chevron pattern instead of the smooth leather there so when it happens it’s less noticeable
