Yes, but this was my dream bag from when I was 15. I bought a CF for a gift to myself after 7 years of university study and it holds sentiment to me. If it was a bag I didn't use, then it would not worry me.
Is this a defect, is this normal for this Chanel item?

Yes, but this was my dream bag from when I was 15. I bought a CF for a gift to myself after 7 years of university study and it holds sentiment to me. If it was a bag I didn't use, then it would not worry me.
I am planning to use this only for special occasion though. Is this fixable?
Possibly. Speak to a SA at a Chanel boutique. They might offer a repair service.
Can you post a better picture? It's blurry and hard to see. Are you taking about the little bit that is sticking out from the piece that is joined by a stitch? If so, that's normal! I have seen that in every CF I've seen since trying to purchase one myself.
Oh are you asking about the little white stitch? Hmm I don't have any idea about that, better to ask a SA. I've had 2 bags that I returned because of quality problems too, so I understand how you feel, but for me personally this is too minor to bother me. There will always be one problem or another with the bag if you look too closely.
I still cannot see what you are bothered by.
You say you have had the bag for 5 years and not used it...Why are you examining it forensically NOW for 'imperfections'?
just use the bag and enjoy it or let it go..there will always be 'something' that bothers you if you examine every stich and wrinkle minutely.
You are probably causing this bag more harm by having it sit unused in a box for 5 years than just using it and getting your cost per wear value from your purchase.
Leather is skin and needs to breathe.
Hi hi, thanks for your replies.
Thank you for the reassurance. Ya I should enjoy the bag n i waited very long for it. Have a pleasant day everyone!
Ugh I’m having similar thoughts. I just got a caramel lambskin flap and it’s a but crooked and I don’t know what to do! The bag is soo beautiful though!!
I just got a small caramel flap and it has a similar issue. The left side is shorter than the right (as seen by the quilting size difference). I don’t know if to keep it or return.. so hard to decide because this is such a hard bag to get.. Have you decided?

This! I think it’s easy being on tpf and worrying about tiny imperfections and sometimes we make it worse for each other
I’ve noticed too when I photograph my bags/slg’s with my pro max camera that takes incredibly detailed photos you can find microscopic things on the bag and when you look with the naked eye you can’t even see what was in the photo. Perfection truly isn’t possible but outstanding and gorgeous and functional is. May we all enjoy our gorgeous Chanel!
Photos are usually deceiving to the eyer, and things inside can throw the bag off. It'll be easier to make sure evidentially if you measure (either diamond squares or in mm) when it's off and the back flat on the floor. .
I checked and it seems to be off. The left side seems to be lower.
