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

[Milena_6]

Just purchased this Chanel 19 (small) in goatskin through my SA and I am curious if these creases are the norm for this bag? Thanks

That‘s normal for goatskin...I returned my goatskin 19 and exchanged it for one in lamp which does not have that creases. Greets

Does the lambskin feels more delicate than the goat?

Not sure if you have a picture of the lamb can share? I’m starting to afraid of the wrinkles now but when I bought mine my SA said my batch no lambskin now

I have the same bag in goatskin. I think there are variations, but your bag looks fine to me!

I just notice this too! It’s the first day I’m wearing the bag

It doesn’t bother me at all and doesn’t look odd in the slightest. It’s a characteristic of the goat leather.

No, the opposite...lamb wears quite well. I have two 19 bags in lamb and not a single scratch until now. But the lamb is softer and puffier...the goat ist more firm. Kind regards

Yes, will share later

Are the bags being made in both lamb and goat this season?

Hi Chanel Lovers!! I bought this mini reissue back in September this year and I just noticed this. Is this a loose thread or a tear at the stitches? Checked with my SA and he said this is normal as the bag is handmade. However I am not too sure if this should be the case as my other reissue has very good workmanship. Any of you encounter this before and what did you do? Appreciate your comments. TIA

The lower right doesn't seem like a defect tbh.. the pocket needs to be stitched in and I think because it's white the thread is just more noticeable. The top left not really sure what is happening there lol it seems like a random stitch...

I recall that being a normal stitch having to do with the inner flap.. I'll have to pull one of mine out and check but pretty sure that's normal.

Lower right actually looks like they over stitched it a pinch but these things are supposedly handmade so not every single bag is going to match up exactly...

Upper left stitch there is normal, yes. It secures the inside part of the bag to the outer leather

I have made peace with the stitches at the lower right. But I guess the top left does look like a thread running out of place. Nothing much I can do at the moment as I do not stay near a boutique. I am so tempted to just cut out the loose thread though, lol. Well, at least the SA did assure me that if the stitching comes out or something, I can always bring it in. Thanks babe, for your feedback. Makes me feel better that it is not a defect.
