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

I noticed the same thing on my classic flap when I’d had it only a couple of weeks and I never close the press stud closure ever. There is a circular indentation above the turn lock. I think it’s from the back of the press stud pressing on the leather when the turnlock is closed. I thought the impression would wear away after a bit and I always store it with the felt in place when not in use so it must have happened when I was out and about with the bag. It’s not got any better unfortunately. I’ve never had this with any other classic flap I’ve owned. I feel the caviar leather on my bag is super soft as I posted about another issue with the inner front pocket being very bendy and flimsy and causing some wrinkles and softness to the quilts towards the bottom of the bag.

This is not defective IMO just the way the bags can get after use/storage

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

Hi. Any slouching when lamb softens over time? Love lamb but worried could look very droopy and lose shape/structure.

Hi ladies , I just picked up my brand new classic flap Chanel Monday and noticed this on the strap. I thought the strap is two continuous pieces of leather but saw this. Is this normal? Is this actually suppose to be tucked where the metal strap meet so I don’t see it?

My wonderful SA reassured me this in fact normal and showed me a picture of another bag that had this cut. It didnt look like a crack but a cut piece. So back to loving my flap and cant wait to use her.

Yes, it’s totally normal. Enjoy your new bag!

Yes normal. I adjust my straps and put that part under flap. See this is my grey strap. I have that on all my bags. Even on my red you can see.

actually the cut on my bag is in the middle of the length of the strap and not just on the ends. I guess this is normal. The other pictures are different section of the strap. So glad I have you guys to check. Thx

Hello,

I just bought “New” Chanel from Vestiare Collective. It has been confirmed by quality control as a new bag. But as I got it, I found a defect inside the bag. It seems like the leather is detached from the base of the bag.
Has everyone ever bought the bag like that or did you notice that kind of defect on your Chanel bag?

and this photo of my 3 years old timeless Chanel bag, which I bought in Paris. The inside of this bag is smooth, without any leather bumps

This is not unusual from my experience.

But is this a defect or is this normal?

Most bags are like this

Not a detect although I would expect perfection at these prices. I have owned about 20 classic flaps over the years and I would say about half of them were completely flat inside.
