So glad to hear you found another!
I’m just realizing that my SA didn’t send me the handbag he showed me in the pictures that I got. Can you please let me know if yours has any wrinkles? I will insert photos of mine. At this point I’m trying to figure out if they are all made like this? Or if I just keep getting these, since my SA sent me photo without one wrinkle, but I got a different bag.

I am pretty tolerant about small imperfections with my bags, but I would not be ok keeping this bag. IMO the leather should not be wrinkled there and it looks like it was sewn without pulling the leather taut.

Thank you for your opinion, this is my second one of these handbags and it’s also not right. I’m so bummed out. As this one was difficult to find.

I bought a 22c gray mini 2 years ago and it had similar wrinkles. I've seen other posts about minis with wrinkles so I think its normal. But it's up to you if you want to live with it or not.

My black mini has very soft leather too and it wrinkles easily. I decided to keep it since it's a very difficult bag to find. It's holding up alright so far. Is this one made in France? I have a pink mini that is made in Italy with stiffer leather. If this is a color you really want then you'll have to decide if you can live with it. Or wait until the next time they release this color.

I just went to look at mine, and took some pictures. I can only see the most slight crease on one of the quilts. Not enough to call a wrinkle.

This bag/seasons lamb feels very soft, so there is a good chance any wrinkle you see now will get more pronounced with use.
Personally, I am not too worried about small wrinkles, I am more worried that it may be more prone to scratches than average.
My only other concern, personally, is that this is my 3rd blue Chanel bag. Do I NEED another blue Chanel? LOL. But this one has silver hardware and my other two have champagne gold, so that is my justification :D

But at Chanel prices, I would advise to take your time and really consider if these slight wrinkles will bug you. 5K is too much to spend, imo, on anything less than LOVE. And there will always be future releases, and even the pre-loved market that will have fabulous bags, so you can be sure another treasure will pop up soon.

Thank you so much for the photos beyond helpful :) The wrinkles really don’t bother me with this one as I know it’s an extremely soft lamb compared to others. I will keep this handbag as I love it! I love blue bags too this is my second one, there’s just something about a blue bag that I just love!

Thank you so much for letting me know. This one is made Italy, and I am absolutely in love with this bag. I have finally decided to keep it.
