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

[sizz]

after posting the question, i stalked the medium classic flap clubhouse and checked the photos. still you would think the wrapped part within the chain would be less bulky considering the exorbitant price.

I know what you mean and i think it‘s even bulkier and more apparent on caviar bags. On the minis it‘s at least on the inside of the bag where the bag connects to the strap. It is what it is i guess..

i just now received my caramel medium classic flap and i have a question.

is this normal in classic flap chain? i’ve a black reissue, a black boy bag and a couple of WOCs, so this is my first experience with a classic flap.

Yes normal.

Hi all, can anyone see what I think may be wrong with this bag? (: The uneven flap is apparently due to the security tag according to the SA. But there is a weird straight line near the right grommet. Also, there is a airpocket inside at the base. Which the SA pointed out is normal as the base is not glued on and will flatten with use. Anyone could share whether this is true and their experience?

Airpocket inside is normal.

Airpocket inside is normal.

Wow thanks for the quick reply! Do you know if it will flatten with use?

It does get flatter with use. The older ones were so flat but nowadays they come with an airpocket. It sucks the quality went downhill, but I wouldn’t make that a big rejection factor.

Is it normal for the threads of a reissue to be a bit frayed, particularly around high-stress areas such as corners and wrinkles? They don‘t appear loose at all and technically it makes sense for them to be a bit frayed but I just wanted to have piece of mind.

Isn’t the line near the grommet just the light shining on the bag? Yes, it’s true that the air pocket is normal. Only my very first flap from about 15 years ago had a lining that was flush to the base and stuck down. All the others I’ve bought since have been slightly looser and seem to have air there. It depends how bad it is. I can’t say without seeing it.

Hi all, does my new WOC look normal? My SA said the inward of the side will decrease after use when the leather become soft is that true. Please let me know. Any comments are appreciated. Thank you!

Hi everyone, had to repost as my previous post must have sounded like I was asking for authentication services (sorry!) but I would like to see if anyone can share their Classic Flap's EP zipper images - mine is EP vertical down, not sure if that is a variation of the normal EP horizontal lettering zipper? Attaching image, and for reference mine is a series 11 black caviar in medium thanks!

my 2019 226 reissue and 2021 medium classic flap in a seasonal color don’t have any branding on their zipper. however, 2012 WOC has the following zipper:

i think it looks a bit collapsed. i have 2012 lambskin WOC and it is super soft and looks like this:



i think the softness will add to the curve and not decrease it.
