I believe it is different finishing and treatment of the leather too... and individual preferences. I think even quality can be subjective - for example lambskin vs caviar vs calfskin? Each batch of caviar leather will be different and unique. What is meh to others may be beautiful in your eyes! My friend loves chanel bags in patent leather but I never do. Lol!
Very very true but in life we always end up comparing! It is almost an inbuilt trait :biggrin: Every batch is different and has their own charm :heart:

Hello Ladies,

I am wondering does anyone have the 18S square black cavair mini? Would you mind sharing the chains of your bags? Is mine normal? I found out different side have different view (left is kind of horizontal, and the other is kind of vertical?)

Many thanks

My rectangular mini from this season is like that. It’s like not completely flat...a bit twisted
 
Hello Glad to receive the reply. S
So is it a common issue? Or is it the normal for the mini? This is my first time to have a mini. By the way, it is made in Italy.

I have no idea, I’m hoping someone can help us answer that question! It’s my first mini also

Mine is made in France. When I wear it, it doesn’t really bother me bc most of the time I just sling it crossbody & out the door
 
So my M/L lambskin is about 7 months old and have used it a few times. I used it today and it seems that the stitching in the bottom are coming lose?? or am i just being fussy?

i can see small holes to the leather where the stitching is made and it seems that the threads are now being exposed. I don’t remember seeing it this way before..should this be a cause of concern?
 
Here are the photos of the bag’s bottom corner and stitching.

That is perfectly normal.

We all tend to forget that these bags we be buy are made out of LEATHER. THat is: ANIMAL SKIN. ergo, there have to be holes in in, real proper holes, for each and every stitch. They WILL be visible. If they werent, they would not be real holes and indeed youd be looking at a faux leather plastic bag with either fake stitching (that exists lol) or whatnot.

If you could not see holes, where would your thread come out? I have the exact same on my mini. you are bound to find things that you did not notce before - the more you look at it the more you will find something, i guess.

I know we all spend a friggin lot on our bags but we all need to stop being SO obsessed. Its a bag. only a bag. :))))) I tell that myself too, because I was on the verge of being just as upset about any tiny detail! I went to my boutique and the lady even referred to THIS very forum hinting that I would not believe the weird things ppl return bags for lol that made me laugh. ;)
