Look ma i can fly-i got wings!!! Sending this maxi baby back!!!

Well-The Greatly anticipated MAXI arrived today. The one that I was awake for 2 nights over due to the fact that I could not decide on which one to get and finally decided on the MAXI Lambskin since TPFer's said it was far more structured/still that even the New Caviar. I waited with baited breath all day by the door and even cancalled my massage appointment for fear I would not be home when it arrived and called Fed Ex when it did not arrive only to be told that it arrived an hour late and would be to me by 7pm todayI was so excited that is until I opened it and quickly loaded it up due to the fact that other members had had quaity issues w/ the Flaps Flipping up and flying out (I asked my SA to please check for this problem and to load my bag before sending it just to avoid a problem and she assured me she did)

Well,it does more than flip,it wiggles,it curls,it wavesand it sinks in the middle!!! I am so disappointed and if that is not enough the leather through the strap had risen out of one of the chian links with no way to get it back in-WHAT IS WRONG WITH CHANEL!!!This is a design problem and should have been checked for proportions and performance on the Trial bags. I am sending it back- I really believe that within 6 months this will be the Laziest ,slouchiest bag and way too messy to want to carry without enduring:shame:

When, I called my SA she was out and another SA spoke to me and was not shocked at all and just agreed like she had heard this already-so disappointing for the SA's & for the Customers- but this bag will never wear beautifully to become a Vintage Classic-phooey!!!

Here are the pics- the side one best shows how warbled the whole bag was in addition to a soft indentation that ran ike a line acrocc the front of the bag.

 

Yes, definitely returning it- I purchased it from the WYNN Boutique Las Vegas and if I had a boutique near me would just go in and try on a bunch until I found one that was constructed better but honestly,I think this bag will just be a sloppy mess in a matter of weeks and especially in a few years. I tried it with a single and a double strap and the problem was just as pronounced if not more with the double strap and I can imagine after those Maxi Wings have been flipped up for a few weeks they are going to get permament creases and then really look awful. I am confident that there is a construction/proportion problem with this bag and am not going to order another one. I will say when yours arrive leave the paper that is in the bottom in it and put your items on top of that and see instantly how it collaspes. I only put a zippy wallet,key cles and CC holder inside so it was not even near being full and then I tried a few more items thinking it would fill it out better but the problem increased. The frustrating thing is -I too really explained the problem I had been hearing about wings to my SA and asked her to load it up and then asked her again to comfirm when she called to say she had shipped it so I am not sure they can give up the sale and probably just hoped I would be ok with it.. If this were a HOBO or some unstructured style-I would not care at all and I am really tolerant of bags being made with certain quirks but this is above and beyond IMO-MY pics make it look better than it looks in real life becasue I had to lighten them up quite a bit for the problem areas to appear due to the fact that the bag is so dark-so IRL with all of the warbling and the fact that it is SUPER Soft -it just looked like a tired OLD bag!
I am going to get down on my knees tonight and Thanks the Good Lord that I did not list my Jumbo that I was going to sell to replace this Lambskin Bag. I am usually so impatient and have just been busy or would have done it the minute I got the Lambskin MAXI ordered>:blink:
I will say - I love the size-not too big,not too heavy-just perfect!

 

South maybe the different colored Leather will make it more substantial so that it will hold up better???

I know Jill- you must have Good Bag Karma!!!
