I don't think it is normal. The WOC is deformed.
The leather won't become soft at all with use as the WOC is pretty structure. Don't get it!
Is this a defect, is this normal for this Chanel item?

Thank youI don't think it is normal. The WOC is deformed.
I really appreciate itWow yours looks great! Chanel quality is not as good as before anymore. I guess I will return it
thank you for your reply
Appreciate the photo!
Hmm, I hope more people will share, wonder why I haven't seen a vertical one!
Hi—
Is this normal? The flap area is shiny, flat grained, super soft and a bit lighter in black color whereas the bottom is very dried, has protruding grains and dull. It’s as if Chanel used two un-matching pieces of caviar to create this bag.
Your help appreciated, as this is my first caviar purchase. Thanks.

No, this is not normal. I would definitely return it. I’ve seen this before where the flap doesn’t match the bottom of the bag. It’s a shame because the caviar on the flap is gorgeous!
It is not normal, but I have seen people complaining in here about their flaps with 2 different types of caviar leather on the same bag. It seems like Chanel doesn't care about this.
Thank you for your insight! I am in the process of returning it. I agree, it’s a shame! I’m surprised this bag crossed through quality assurance. Sigh.
Wow! I thought I was the only one. Thank you, I am in the process of returning the bag!
No problem! I’m glad you’re returning. I hope you find another one that’s better.
Does tiny leather cracking through stitch hole normal for a new Chanel bag? It is around 2mm, seems like it is caused by tight stitches. Very tiny right now, but it is at where the bag opens and closes. I am worried this will get worse over the time. Picture attached. It is the grey area. I am not sure if this is normal?

I think it will get worst after use. In my opinion I don’t keep the bag that have leather and stitching issues, and also uneven flap. Good luck!
Hi everyone! After many years of lusting over the classic flap, I finally treated myself for my 35th birthday. After being on a wait list for 2 months, a medium classic flap in lambskin came and unfortunately was not in pristine condition.
I don't know if I'm being nit picky, I have no one in real life to ask if these scratches are dealbreakers.
If you can see, there is a visible scratch or scuff on the front left below the flap as well as a scratch or scuff on the back pocket. I did try to gently rub them out with my finger but it didn't work.
I'm also including just a straight on photo of her.
I was also expecting the lambskin to be a bit puffier but I'm not sure if that's just me being ridiculous since it's my first. It's a series 31.
Thank you for any info!

It looks like that the front scratch might come out if you use a leather lotion. But, the back scratch looks like that the leather is damaged already. I had a defect/scratch on my medium flap in lambskin and exchanged it. The quilts don't look puffy, so I would definitely exchange it.
