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

[Anysia]

Hi, just wondering if any of you have seen this problem where it seems the staff ran out of thread when sewing the quilts? I can clearly see the knot of a thread (either beginning or end) such that the thread doesn’t actually wrap around the edge of the leather (ie the stitching doesn’t go all the way to the end)…
Thanks in advance!View attachment 5364443

Hello my coin purse has this too. But the stitching has to end somewhere. It doesn't bother me.

Hello! I just got my mini rectangle today and I noticed that there are 2 scratches. Is there anything I can do about it? Return in Canada is only store credit and this so hard to come by. Any suggestions? Appreciate it!

Hello I bought my WOC in Dec 21. Please find below a picture. Maybe you can ask for an exchange if it bothers you too much. It is hard to say based on the picture if it is really a defect.

thanks for the reply! Yea i did bring back to the boutique and the SA said is normal as this is new n will be ‘seasoned’ over time. Now, i am not so bothered by it and got a base shaper as well.

This is a photo of my caviar WOC from 2010 (it’s a bit flat because I haven’t pulled it out for a while!).
My edges are fine, so I’d say that’s a defect. Is it new?

Thanks for the reply. Yes, it is new.

Has anyone noticed a weird varnish/chemical odor on 22S WOC??

I just noticed my edge stitching on my flap is not completely even. It seems like one side of where the closure is attached is pinched or thinner than the other side and now that I've noticed it, I can't unsee it.

I went online and looked at photos of other caviar flap bags and four of the first five photos I pulled up also had this same issue to some degree. I have included photos.

Am I just being super picky or would you return the bag (still in return period) especially given the difficulty in obtaining a medium cf black caviar I likely wouldn't get another if I did return it. Is it super noticeable on my bag? (I took photo looking upward which enhances it because of how the light hits it. Looking down on the bag it's less noticeable)

mine is the same, I never noticed it though until specifically looked for it just now. I'd say if it bothers you, talk to you SA.

I don‘t see it.

Hi. I recently bought a Vintage Single Flap Jumbo from eBay and it was authenticated. I saw that the back pocket does not does not line up with the bag. Plus on the bottom of the bag, the stitching really sticks out so it feels bumpy. Any vintage owners experienced this before? Thank you.

Update: I decided to keep it as medium caviar cf are so hard to get! I had a close look and it seemed to have been mostly how the light hits the edge and I that spot it was kind of rolled doenward somehow if that makes sense. So I just used my finger to gently massage that spot of the edge upward so it catches the light the same as the rest and now it's hardly noticeable unless you really look.

Hi everyone . Is this normal on the business affinity on the back? There is color transfer from my jeans but also looks like discoloration on the leather as well. I've only used alcohol free baby wipes to remove the color transfer.It's also the spot that prob rubs against my clothing the most so could it be normal wear and tear..

I have a small cf, brand new from the boutique but I noticed a crease in the inner flap that seems to be permanent

Is this a defect? Any cf owners out there can tell me if this crease is a result of wear and tear?

This crease happens when you close the flap. Because as soon as you press on the snap the leather is creasing in the middle. This happens over the time but it is not usual for a brand new one.

I see, thank you so much for helping me answer this! I think as long as the crease appears after usage, I’m fine with not exchanging it since it’ll appear over time with the new piece too. How long did the crease take to appear with your cf?

You are welcome I try not to close the inner flap when I use the flap. I only press on the snap when I store the flap because I want to avoid a dent on the leather (which happens or might happen when you don't close the snap). I don't use the bag much often. Maybe once a week (until now ca. 40 times, but difficult to say) below some pictures. When I close the snap I try to press the leather in a certain direction that it doesn't build up a deep crease.
But if we want a perfect bag we should not use them and this doesn't make sense. I want enjoy my items
