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

Looks fine to me too! Don’t over scrutinize your bag, just enjoy it!
No don’t use hairspray . It’s waxed thread .Noticed some frayed/loose stitching on the 3rd wear with my WOC (not purchased in store). Could anyone share some tips how to manage it? Part of me was thinking maybe hairspray to keep it in place lol.. or do I cut the loose threads?
You can wait till the threads get long enough to cut. If at stitch happens to pop, Chanel can repair that. If you are very very careful you could apply a tiny amount of thread wax to the thread but do not get the wax on the leather. You might wanna practice on a cheaper bag if you decide to do that.

Please may I check with all classic flap owners whether the burgundy red interior loses its colour (..!!!) when wiped with a damp cloth (just water)?? I am quite annoyed!
The interior doesn't look faded afterwards, and the red colour transfers to the cloth. The bag's only around 2 years old but I live in a pretty humid country...

I think that’s ok
I had that issue with my WOC after a few wears too (and it was new from the store) - it got worse and annoyed me after a while so I eventually sent it to Leather Surgeons. They might have either restitched that corner or applied something like what TPFers suggest. It looks better although it’s not a totally flawless fix.Noticed some frayed/loose stitching on the 3rd wear with my WOC (not purchased in store). Could anyone share some tips how to manage it?

I got a little impatient so I ended up buying fabric fusion glue due to someone's recommendation on the forum (old post). I got a pen version cause i only needed a tiny bit, dabbed a bit of the glue on with my finger and left it to dry. It was such an easy fix!!
It would've been a mission for me to travel an hour to the store and back again so I thought nah let's try something out
Hi,
Does anyone else have this issue? The flaps on my jumbo have been like this almost the whole time I’ve had this. What can I do to fix it and what am I doing wrong? I’ve had this bag for less than a year and a half. Thank you!

That’s normal for a classic flap
