omg no way, would not keep! glazing should be flat and shiny- that looks like it's going through teenage acne lol (sorry!)
Definitely either go in store to exchange or call CS, but as others have said, it's likely they will ask you to reorder as they can't replace parts only.

Well, it depends on your local SA ...
I purchased just 1 day (!) before the price increase at the beginning of March my Noe and was I not pleased with the handle en drawstring. So I went back to the store. The first SA immediately started to tell me the wellknown story about their items are handmade therefore product will not be 100% “perfect”.
But I still was not satisfied after this, so she called for her senior collegae. This male SA took a look on the parts and after 2 min he sad: you may exchange.
But the second Noe had a major flaw: the vachetta bottom was scratched! And it was a big one, I could not believe that they still offer that bag for sale at its price point
So I thought at that moment, I need to wait for another bag.
However, the male SA suggested me to exchange the parts with the second Noe. I said: yeah sure!! What a great idea! So at the end of the day I managed to get my perfect Noe

Haha yes at this moment im really into chanel after stalking LV for weeks and learning some lessons the hard way about the brand. (Still loving LV though but the packaging is indeed so poor and i had so many quality issues) The packaging from chanel is a treat it is so nice to unbox your new item!!
The prices are unbelievable i got a medium classic last year in August for my birthday for like 4800 i believe, but i sold it because it was so unpractical with the double flap in that size, i sold it for like 4600 because there were some scratches on the inside and i wanted to get rid of it to change it for a mini rectangular. The dumbest thing i ever did because it sells for 6050 now. I should have hold on to it for a year and then sell it. Im never selling my Chanels ever again ! again learned my lesson.
Loving de beige claire colour but im so scared for colour transfer !! I would love to have a bag in that colour.
What is next on your wishlist?

Oh no!!! Heartbroken! I am so sorry for the story with your medium flap ... awful! Glad you have your jumbo now!
I bought the Coco Handle in beige because it had no price increase (yet) and this seasonal beige was noticeably darker than the classic beige clair... (and black will always be around).
I wear cream and beige a lot lately, so color transfer hopefully won’t be an issue.
And the price for a full size Chanel bag was fantastic compared to the classics or the mini. Wow... what have I just written?? Chanel convinced me that almost 4000€ for a bag is a good price. Can someone slap me, please???

Anyway ... Louis Vuitton remains my first love and I had so much sellers remorse in the past that I will not sell bags anymore unless I am 10000% sure I don‘t want it anymore. If I want something I have to save up now.
But I am at purse peace with LV! I really love what I have and maybe thats the reason why saving up for Chanel is okay now and I sort of accepted the prices. Weird....
My next wishlist item is definitely a Chanel, hopefully by the end of the year. The Business Affinity has a reasonable price point as well (SLAP!AGAIN!) and I liked it a lot, but I almost liked all bags I tried at the boutique. Another item I always get back to for over a year now, is the YSL Toy LouLou... this little cutie is just adorable! If I go preloved I might consider a classic flap! I am open to colors and leathers.
Why didn‘t you buy caviar?

I bought my Coco from the store, because I am so paranoid when it comes to Preloved and multiple 1000 Euros............ how was your experience? A couple of pages ago you wrote your jumbo is from wishbags? They also sell Louis Vuitton and other brands and the homepage looks great!
Did you authenticate again or do you trust them?
Whats next on your list??

Yess i was so angry at myself as you can imagine but i will never make that mistake again haha.

I love the beige clair it is the perfect beige i think. You're right if you wear light colours the colourtransfer wont be a problem, if i would buy one in the future i will have to pay attention to what im wearing that day, problem solved.

The price for a coco handle and BA are expensive but good hahaha i understand what you mean (compared to the classics, lol) which size did you buy? I would love to buy the smallest one since i have my jumbo now it looks so cute! The only thing that bothers me is that you cant wear that size crossbody (im like 1.77)

Im at peace with my LV for now as well, i only own bags now that i use frequently and indeed it makes room to save up for chanel!

I did not buy caviar because im so weird/ocd in my leather with hardwear combinations. I just really like the lamb with silver and caviar with gold. And i really wanted a silver jumbo. My mini is lamb and i have really no issues with scratching, if i see one i just buff it out with the cloth and its gone, and i wont wear the bag with my 3yo around, then ill get my WOC in caviar. Lamb just feels more luxurious but i feel for a Maxi size it is too much, i would love that one in caviar with gold. It makes no sense it is just my personal taste i guess haha.

I did a lot of research and her reviews are so good, you can pick up the bag at her showroom if you would like to, and they are interrupty authenticated. She is very nice and helpfull if you have questions so i did not authenticated the bag again. It comes in a beautiful wrapped parcel and im so happy with it. My next item is a coco handle new or a maxi caviar preloved

No problem from me! I'm just worried I may join you!

 

[pehtomi]

I have a question...
If i were to buy an LV wallet lets say preloved on vestiaire collective and the item has some wear/tear issues, am I allowed to take it to an LV store and ask for it to be fixed (or replaced, although unlikely of course)? Do they ask for proof of purchase etc and do they refuse to accept items which are bought preloved? thanks x

Our local shop fixed two of my bags that I had bought preloved. The other one was from Vestiaire. They did not ask anything. The bags have to be authentic and you have to pay for the fixing off coarse.

We missed youuuuu!!

Salex!!!! My love how are you?!?!

hahaha btw I’m a Chanel addict too!
but I’m kinda cleaning out my small collection now. I find I have some that I don’t wear/carry, and especially in this pandemic. I do understand what you mean by the LV kinda not working out, I also have that! I find for LV I don’t have a feeling of satisfaction sometimes? Unless the item is really hard to find... but for Chanel it’s maybe due to the price that it will take me so long to save up for...I’m currently really wanting a classic flap in M/L but it’s now 6050!! Looking for one maybe one day on the preloved market. I bought a jumbo back in 2012 because they didn’t have the M/L in stock. Wish I had waited... but Chanel is always a good investment I have to say!

Hahahah your not the only one!!!! I used to think 3000 was too much, now that some bags I want are 5000 I’m like oh 4000 that’s a bargain. While my boyfriend is having a panic attack i love my coco handle! It’s caviar in the small with chevron.Doesn’t fit much but is so chic, cute, and classy. I never get bored looking at her. The affinity looks stunning bIt because if the lamb skin I will probably be just admiring from afar.

Ladies, I need your help regarding the pochette metis. I'm having a serious crush on the reverse. But I have this rule that a bag of this size needs to be able to carry a normal sized water bottle. I haven't tried it out in person so could any of you metis owners say if it can fit at least a 300 ml bottle, preferably a 500 ml bottle?

Hallo @vodense. This is could be an alternative solutions to your dilemma. It is a ‘Messenger bottle’ with capacity of 380 ml. I have mine for about a year now and I can tell you this is brilliant!

Oh yes, I have actually considered buying one of those! They are so smart, my friend has one too.

 

[vodense]

I actually ended up buying the pochette metis. I'm just waiting for it to arrive. UPS says it's already delivered and I contacted LV but they have not responded to me yet Can't deal too much with it right now because I have a huge deadline at work for friday, but has any of you experienced UPS losing your parcel? If so, did LVs customer service help at all or do I have to contact UPS personally?

No personal experiences. I'd call UPS first to find out where they delivered it to!

Hi love! Im fine and you??

I feel the same, if i dont wear them i will replace them, i dont want to own bags i dont use. But the PM mono, neverfull GM and PA are my go to favorites and i think maybe because they are some sort of "classics" and so practical. I think i sold like 15 bags over the last 10 years because they didnt work out for me.

The classics are so expensive indeed, but they are so gorgeous and always a good investment i bought my jumbo preloved on designerwishbags!
