I was looking at the strap on my brand new classic medium when I noticed a weird looking knot/stitch where the two ends of the strap are woven through the chain. I own a jumbo and there are no knots/stitches in the strap that looks like this. All stitches are flat. I’m not sure if all classic medium straps have this or if it is a defect. It just doesn’t look like a very purposeful knot…could it unravel? Attached are pictures but it’s really hard to see since the bag is black. Any feedback anyone can provide would be amazing!

Popped stitch on a brand new classic flap. Is this bad? Should I return? This small size is hard to come by and it has a few minor other issues that I can live with. Just worried about this stitch. Please advise!

Hi Chanel lovers!
I just received my 1st mini flap from 22A collection. I love it but i see it is slightly misaligned (crooked). i tried adjusting with hands and it did make a difference but not sure if that's something to worry about? If i return this i may not get a replacement anytime soon. Also there are some creases which i think is normal. Any suggestions are appreciated! Thank you :)

Honestly I don't see anything wrong and I even zoomed way in. I think it's just how the light is catching those pebbles of the caviar. And besides, it's under the flap anyway. I wouldn't worry.
I have a much worse issue (pinched stitching on the front above the little flap that holds the hardware on one side. It's like they maintained a perfect distance from the edge all the way and then just lost concentration for a second and went closer to the edge. LOL I kept the bag. I asked others if they noticed it and nobody did until I pointed it out and even then they all said it's barely noticeable to them even after I showed them. Since medium black caviar cf are hard to come by I kept ot since I don't know when another would have been available. Mine is a very recent purchase with the metal chip/plaque. Point is we may be going into wayyyy to fine of detail and finding flaws that nobody else will ever notice. While we may be perfectionists, these are really still just handbags and there are bound to be small deviations on every single bag if you look hard enough. Enjoy your bag!

I’ve had this bag for 5 years and I just noticed this tiny stitching on the leather chain part Just recently, should I be worried? I didn’t notice when I bought it. I never used this bag before I just store it at home.
