Hi All - just picked up my first lambskin bag from the boutique, all my other Chanels are caviar. Was wondering if it's normal for the quilts to be this flat and if the circled areas in the photos look normal. Also, one of the tags were removed and it looks like the other one was ripped off and taped back on! I was so excited to get this mini in violet and didn't bother to check the tags while in the store - just shocked that Chanel would sell a bag with taped on tags.

Hello! I haven't purchased a Chanel bag in a very long time but I am ready now to purchase a mini. I'm looking for a black, red, or maybe another darker color. I prefer a square, quilted bag. I've called a few different boutiques and I'm not having any luck finding any minis at all. I live in Southern California. I haven't purchased in boutique before. Please let me know if you have seen any or have a fabulous SA that you think could help. Thank you!!

Hello all, I'm in searching for mini square back and forth then finally got offered this bag. BUT, I realized the bottom structure has wide crease. Will ironing and steaming the bag be possible to get the structure back? Has someone ever had experience or is it helpless? Thanks a bunch! :smile:

Can someone post pictures of their back pocket or advise if this is normal.
It’s not sitting completely flat against the back of the bag. Seems somewhat stretched at the top. This is the 20b red mini.

Hmm.... Is it just me finding the stitching not looking aligned? I'm not an expert but it seems like the pocket is a bit larger that what it should be and was forced to align with the bag's stitching. I'm afraid it is all I can say. I hope you get a conclusive response. All the best.

Hi beauties. I just unboxed my mini reissue today. On the outside it looks perfect but after flattening the bottom, the base lining (inside) doesn't look right. It is wavy and has air pockets and not aligned with the width of the bag. It seems that there is space between the lining and the bottom, if you know what I mean. Is this normal? Should I return for another one? Do you mind sharing pictures of yours? Heaps of thanks.

Mine is black distressed calfskin with aged gold hardware. I probably would have preferred ruthenium hardware, but I like the aged gold, too :) It's my profile pic - here's a bigger version:

Hi there. Beautiful bag. Just got one a few days ago and wondering how to flatten the base. Any tips? Also, how does the inner bottom lining on yours look? Mine seem to have air pockets between it and the bottom. Not sure if due to the bottom not flattened properly yet. Thanks.

The lining in mine isn't 100% flush, so it's similar to yours. I store mine standing up & stuffed in its dustbag to maintain its shape. Hope that helps!
