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

I got the 22S light pink CF a few days ago. It wasn't easy to get and I contemplated it because of the price and because I am afraid of color transfer. But I just love the color so much. :love: I have been waiting for the perfect pink and for me, this is it.

I am rather meticulous when it comes to my things esp at this price point. I have exchanged my first CF 2 times. :angel:

Even in the boutique while inspecting the bag, I did not find one of the obvious problems (crooked flap, uneven Mona Lisa pocket, 'horns'), but I noticed that the graines on one batch on the left side and the bottom of the bag do not reach all the way to the edge.
I mean, even now it doesn't bother me that much as it is not in my direct line of sight, that color is hard to find and for me it is the perfect color. But I see all those other bags on the forum which seem to be perfect.
Here are a few pictures:

What do you guys think? Am I being too picky?

Your thoughts, opinions or votes are very much appreciated. :tup:
 
As a person who is near sighed in one eye, far sighted in another, has a lazy eye, and dislikes wearing my glasses, bag looks great! :lol: lol, but honestly, it's something that would not be a big deal for me.

But like others have said, if you are not satisfied now, chances are, if you keep it, you still will not be satisfied. Maybe take a break from looking at it and thinking about it, and come back to it a bit later and see how you feel about it. If it really bothers you, then probably return it.
 
I see what you are talking about and it would not bother me. I don't think it would be noticeable when you carry it. I would, however, be worried about color transfer. I had a WOC of this type pink a number of years ago. The first time I wore it -- with a Chanel RTW coat mind you, it got color transfer all over the back. I sold it pretty quickly and at a significant loss.
