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

I just purchased a new Trendy CC this past weekend, brand new in box. Got home and took a closer look at the chain and it seemed there was few points where the ends didn’t seem fused together. I sent some pics to my SA but she says this is normal. I’m not sure what to think. I did wiggle the chain around a little to tuck these pieces under better but I’ve never seen this within my classic flaps. Thoughts?

That's completely normal. Enjoy your beautiful bag!

I just got this bag in from a resale site and it seems to be in great condition. I’m just wondering if the creasing and puckering of the leather is normal on the flap when it’s open. Is this a reason to return it? Is this something I should be worried about?

How unfortunate. For the amount we pay, we should be able to enjoy our bags for years of wear, or at least several more uses before seeing that. Sorry this happened to you. I had considered this for my wishlist, but I'll just have to admire it from afar.

I worked so hard to get this bag and was really disappointed when I took it out to use the other day and noticed the rose gold color wearing off on two of the corners. I have only carried this bag twice and always baby my bags, so this is definitely not user error! Has this happened to anyone else with this bag in particular?

I would say this is on Chanel’s end - perhaps poor glazing on the leather. I’m sorry this happened. I hope you can still return it.

Unfortunately it seems like this is something really common on this bag. I’ve seen a lot of people posting up bad colour wear on the upper trim on the sides of the bag. That wouldn’t be rubbing against anything and I’ve seen at least two people who’ve had that issue. Mine thankfully doesn’t have the trim wear, but it does have a slight mark in the bottom corner. I haven’t gotten a chance to wear it yet and all these defective bags have me kind of nervous

Hi. Finally I got my classic caviar medium with GHW last week. These are the photos from the boutique. The SA shipped it to me. Something is bothering me. Can you see it?

Wow, I have this bag and mine has some big stitch holes in front and a bit discolored area on one side. I have not used mine yet but your picture now made me worried. Did you take it to boutique?
I was told it’s under warranty and they can send it for service
 
Is it the flap? It’s like an overbite Chanel version?
Maybe it look like that from the photo. But here are the close up pictures.

And here with different lighting. What to do? This was the last one and was shipped to me because we dont have any boutique in Norway.

I’m quiet new to Chanel.
I purchase a small Chanel filigree vanity case small in black recently and when I received it in the mail. I realized that the tag for this bag is from Chanel 19C collection.
Is that normal to get the bag is still sitting there after 2 years? Because this is the only bag they have available now for black in small. And it is a bit not even at the bottom.
