I don't see any flaws! If you have to search and search to possibly find one and still can't tell. . . it's fine lol
Is this a defect, is this normal for this Chanel item?

I'm super bothered by crooked flaps/alignment but I can't see anything off with your bag! Stared at it for ages and it looks good to me.
Thanks for all the feedback! I totally appreciate it and will stop looking for flaws and just enjoy the bag...especially before the price increase.
These stitches are machine made. Sewing machine operated by a person is not equal to hand sewn.
Even Birkin and Kelly bags are not entirely hand-stitched .
Hi all,
Help please! I recently purchased a small boy (from 20C) and just noticed that a stitch at the corner is coming off. I contacted my SA and she said she could send it out but it would take 10-12 weeks for it to come back. She is checking if another one is available for exchange at the moment but given that it was a special order sent from abroad, it is unlikely there will be another one. This is my first Chanel and I got it for a special occasion in 3 weeks so sending it out for so long is really not ideal. I am still within the 14 days return window, should I just return it and get something else? I only have 1 day left to return it though so I have to make a decision quick. I am also not sure if I am just being too picky, maybe this is normal and the stitch won't keep coming off down the road? I would love to see what other people think. Thanks!

Just picked up a so black mini reissue and just noticed this odd white "spot" on one of the corners! It's quite small but my eyes auto focus on it because the bag is so black lol. It's not exactly a "spot" in that it feels raised but I can't tell exactly what it is. Has anyone seen this on any of their bags/any idea what it might be? I'm not sure if this is a defect and I'm too scared to really go at it and try to remove it.
Feeling peak neurotic with this :'D - would this bother you guys?

Looks like maybe a little something got caught between the leather pieces? Have you tried extracting it with tweezers or anything?
Hi. I can’t help but notice that the right side of the flap of my bag sitting lower than the left? It seems to be crooked an Is it considered a defect? Should I try to exchange?

Hi
I can’t help but noticing that the flap on my newly purchased bag is crooked. Should I exchange it? Or this is considered to be normal? I’m quite bothered by it. I went to measure my other classic flap bag and they seems to be off a little bit but not as noticeable as this.

Hi all
Whilst I am here, does anyone know if it’s normal for Chanel to display misaligned stitching? I have a 2014 Grocery Flapbag Medium in from the Fall/Winter collection.
I Purchased here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/164912967883
Previously purchased from:
https://www.luxedh.com/products/chanel-bag-grocery-by-chanel-medium-black-quilted-lambskin-cc
The interior stitching for the internal drawstring lambskin flap has odd stitching alignment. I have already had the bag authenticated by 2 companies who have both deemed it authentic.
If anyone has experienced or seen similar stitching on any Chanel bag I would really appreciate your insight.
Or any advise would be really appreciated.
Thank you. E

Without discussing authenticity there’s a lot more going on there than misalignment… there’s entire stitch holes missing stitching…
Hi thank you for your reply.
The odd thing is that it is deemed authentic but has these holes hence why I am confused what to do, as I paid over £2,000 for this bag. Which is why I was hoping to see if anyone else had similar experiences with quality control in relation to stitching with Chanel bags.
Also due to me not being the original owner I have no idea if perhaps someone modified the bag hence the odd stitching alignment. I was sadly not aware of this prior to purchasing.
Thanks again for your help.
Unfortunately we can’t help with authenticity outside of the dedicated thread and I don’t believe there is currently a Chanel authenticator on the forum.
It could just be wear and tear on an old bag (popped stitches) as for the misalignment… it wouldn’t be the first time that a brand has had production issues. I mean directly on the Chanel website, they are advertising new bags with crooked / lopsided flaps.
If you can still return it, I would do so personally.
I fiddled with it a bit and managed to shrink it! I don't think I can completely get rid of it without risking damaging the leather by digging for it with tweezers so I'll quit while I'm ahead. I think I'm the only person who'd actually notice it/be bothered by it so I'm just going to accept the tiny dot lol
