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

My medium cf doesn’t have this issue. My small does. My grey CF had this issue; after two uses it flatteened out completely. I wouldn’t let the lining bother u but rather the stitching and if the flap is symmetrical.

thanks for this! faced this as well..similar to above, i saw the youtube video. SA mentioned it is normal as it is 2 pieces of leather (sth like this? 0.0) and will flatten out after using.. but felt more assured after seeing this thread :) thanks @ Chanel lover for good for raising :)

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

Not the best pic but this is my lamb skin and it’s soft and smooth. No wrinkles but I did condition before wearing when I saw all the posts about the creases

Yes. It will flatten out over time as you fill it with your items and use it. From what I understand, the Reissue is shipped flat and is meant to have a much softer structure than the Classic. Mine is just like yours. Enjoy your bag!

Thank you for sharing! I understand it’s folded but didn’t know the interior would be crinkled too lol

Hi guys, I purchased a new classic jumbo flap in caviar and after about 2 months of use, I noticed some dents just above the closure. I think it's caused from the snap but I close the turnlock. Now I don't normally close the snap button unless I'm storing it.

I sent it off to Chanel for repair and they were able to straighten a bit more (see photos of the after) but I'm still bothered by it. I watched youtube videos of people with classic flaps who don't snap their button closures, have owned their bags for over 5 years, and don't seem to have this issue...

Have you guys seen this before? Is it a pretty common issue? Do you all always snap the button closure?

Appreciate the forums advice. And happy new year!

Oh it does look like someone was trying to close it, and it may be dented in the process. I don’t have this with my M/L, I also never bother to close the snap button. I tried once it took too much effort, I suggest you don’t close it during storage.

That happened to me with my reissue, I was not careful enough while closing the turnlock, and the snap button got caught in that part of the pocket and bent the leather. Now I am more cautious and make sure the snap button is not getting caught while closing the turnlock.

I agree. I wouldn't close it during storage. I have classic flaps about 8 years old and none of them have that. I've never closed the snap. I even forgot it had it

During storage do you have a felt between the flaps to protect it too

When I store it, I make sure to close the snap closure and put all the felts I got with the bag. It must have happened when I was using it during daily use.
