Thanks for sharing. Can't believe the stitch can unravel like this
Chanel really needs to improve their quality
Loose stitching - would you be bothered?

Chanel really needs to improve their quality
It can be sent away for repair or some boutiques repair it in-house. My previous classic flap had two loose stitches (from new) that looked far worse than yours and I was just prepared to accept it as I was sick of trying to find the perfect flap. I would keep it as it doesn’t look bad and the caviar on yours looks beautiful!
I’m having the same issue with my brand new classic flap!
I found loose stitchings on the bottom of the flap when I got home.
Quite worried these loose stitchings will become more loose in the future... I do want to keep the bag for a very long time.
Would you guys keep this or exchange it?
Given this bag costed almost AUD$11k, I’m not comfortable with a less than perfect bag...

If I remember right my key holder only took 5 weeks. However in Covid times I wouldn’t be surprised if it were months.
Hello, I just received my small coco handle today and after careful inspection, I saw one loose stitch hanging out at the corner of the flap. I believe that it's where the thread ends so it probably should not cause any problem. I had it shipped to me from another state so I need to either ship it back (which I rather not do) or drive 5 hours to get there. I have family living near there so I can make this an excuse to see them. I read here that they will probably cut it off or use a lighter to burn it off. Is this nothing to be worried about? I wish they would just make a perfect bag for the price that we are paying!

I send my WOC off for repairs in early November 2020 and I got a call to pick it up in Jan 20, 2021
Whilst I am here, does anyone know if it’s normal for Chanel to display misaligned stitching? I have a 2014 Grocery Flapbag Medium in from the Fall/Winter collection.
I Purchased here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/164912967883

The interior stitching for the internal drawstring lambskin flap has odd stitching alignment. I have already having the bag authenticated by 2 companies who have both deemed it authentic.
If anyone has experienced or seen similar stitching on any Chanel bag I would really appreciate your insight.
Or any advise would be really appreciated.
Thank you. E

I experienced something similar and felt upset as well.
At the end of the day I just cut it very carefully and forgot about the issue. Nothing bad has happened either. I agree that it shouldn’t happen to a bag of this price range though.
I bought a pre-loved Chanel mini square flap but noticed 1 loose stitch. I am not sure if i am going to return or just keep it. There are no other flaws.
Leaning towards keeping it but worried it will get worse. Would you send it for repair or just leave it?

I'm disheartened to find so many issues here. When I got my mini reissue in the October of 2020, there were 2 loose threads and was advised by my sweet and friendly SA to leave it be as it could just be the ends. This bag unfortunately was better than the other one they had (structural issues). After gently using the bag only 5 times, I noticed that the fraying had gotten worse and there are more now, about 5 that are obvious.
It was surprising to hear that chanel considers this normal. I've been using my humble (coach), other luxury purses (ysl, lv, burberry + chanel coco handle) and daily prada wallet with no thread issues these past 5-10 years. If our beloved Coco Chanel advocated for making statements while keeping things practical (the reissue for instance was made to be stored flat for storage and the chain in metal to prevent theft related sabotage, how wonderfully brilliant), then I would think that good quality threads should be part of the construction.
I'm concerned about the future of this bag if left as is.
The bag is 14 months old. The pictures have been sent to their repair team and I'm hoping something could be done about this at no cost to me. Were you able to get a free repair after year 1?

Hello everyone,
This is my first Chanel purchase. I got the small black classic Chanel bag in caviar from the Neiman Marcus Chanel. I didn't thoroughly look at the bag as they wrapped it in the back and I was too excited about it. Looking at the bag now, I noticed a few loose seams such as the ones in the pictures. And the seams on the flap look a bit fuzzy as if someone rubbed them (not pictured).
I was wondering if this is normal and what would you suggest I do?
Thanks so much!

Sorry to hear of your experience. Mine is worse with multiple loose threads and fuzzy bits. Maybe send pictures to your Chanel SA and ask for an inspection. They might just offer a replacement. The one on the flap looks troublesome to me. Is there a secured stitching under the loose thread on the flap? If so, it could be extra thread. I'm sure they would be able to help.
