burberryprncess said:Just so you know, Chanel has always used both glue and stitching on their chain strap. My 1994, 1996, 2000, and 2009 are a few that I recall are glued. The rest are stitched. Stitched chain strap does not necessarily makes the strap hold out better because I have a stitched chain where the stitching unraveled and had to be repaired. The only problem I've encountered with glued straps is the frayed edges of the suede underside.
You said it best. Just because it is sewn does not guarantee it will not come apart. If this is something they always did, maybe it is for the best. However, uneven gluing is still not excusable. It should at least LOOK well made, if not sewn.
