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

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:lol:

Lol! He needs to design for Chanel!

But it’s really ok and it’s a beautiful WOC - please enjoy (after Christmas!)

I agree with everyone else!

I noticed that if you store it with a thick or folded felt particularly on that area (covering the dent and protecting it from the zipper) it tends to flat out and improve significantly :)

I store my boy woc inside its velvet pouch with flap outside the pouch so there is a pouch fabric protecting the leather from the zipper on the flap. And I don’t close the snap (cannot anyway, lol). I learn that it reduces the dent significantly although everytime I use the bag I can see the dent forming again but the way I store give the leather a break from the zipper pressure. It actually works the same as felt but less hassle and the velvet pouch fabric is thicker.

Thank you both so much! This is such good advice! I have some felt around so maybe I’ll do both - a thick piece of felt and the dust bag between the zipper and the inside of the bag and maybe if I’m lucky the dent will ease by the time I open for use in December. :love:

the tag shows the style I have as being 19S, so I’d hate to return and not be able to get another since it’s an older style.

Hello my dear fellow Chanel lovers!

I bought a pre loved Chanel card holder Wallet and realised the button clasp was this engraving instead of the usual “Chanel” on the top and “Paris” on the other bottom side, is this normal or it’s a sign that this wallet is non authentic ?

I would greatly appreciate help and advices .

Thank you so much in advance 08256E11-71BA-4EDC-A75D-6172A85806BE.jpeg

I will take better pics tomorrow! Mine looks more like yours when look straight on. The "new" one at the boutique looked like it had been through the wringer and had way less structure and sheen.
