I think more and more will be Made In Spain, so nothing to be alarmed about. In fact, some ready to wear lines are Made In United Kingdom.

No not alarmed just never seen WOC made in spain before. I don't own any RTW (but I would love to get a jacket or coat one day:p), I never knew that they had a factory in UK too! Thanks for the info burberry!
 
Can someone please explain the difference between classic caviar flaps that are Made in France and those made in Italy? I have found the bag I want from two different sellers--one is made in France, the other in Italy. Is it worth spending a premium to purchase one over the other? Is the grain of the caviar leather any different? Thanks in advance for your help :D

I seriously would not get hung up on "made in France" versus "made in Italy". Since all bags vary slightly, because they are handmade with machine intervention, it is best to select the one that is the most perfect in your eyes versus "made in France" versus "made in Italy".
 
Ladies
I came across a thread regarding the different quality of classic flaps between those made in Italy and that of France.
However, I m curious whether there is a difference in the hardware used as well for 2 identical bags made in different countries?

I was talking to a girlfriend today and we started comparing our jumbos and each made in different countries and I noticed the 'CHANEL' engraved on one side of the zip looks slightly off from each other.
Anyone came across this issue? The rest of the bags/ hardware look the same to me though.
 
my classic flap is made in italy whereas my reissue and woc are made in france...

while i was making my woc purchase in venice, i noticed that the display piece was made in italy though...

the sa explanation was that is country of manufacturing varies for different batch...
 
Hi Ladies,
I got gorgeous wallet today from Chanel store in Brompton Road in London. It says Made In Spain. SA told me that best leather comes from Italy and Spain. I also noticed that they had red WOC with silver chain( Made In Spain)

This is pretty. Do you have a picture of the inner compartments? How much did it cost you?
