The same thing happened to me about a year ago. I bought a messenger bag over the phone from a boutique. After opening the parcel, I noticed the leather was from two different bolts (for lack of a better term).
It was awful. It looked like scrap pieces were used. I returned it to my local store. I was very disappointed because it was the last in the country. My SA thought I was being picky. Really? I’m sure no SA would buy a new car (regardless how inexpensive) with two doors slightly off color.
I totally feel the same way. The vintage Chanel's are of such a high quality. It sounds strange, but I can almost feel the luxury and pride that went into my luxury Chanel bags. I actually have a 2009 Jumbo Single Flap in caviar with gold hardware and honestly, I don't like it. No kidding, when I opened the package, I thought I'd received a high-quality replica (I'm actually going to post it here to be re-authenticated). The caviar feels like hard plastic, the hardware is nowhere near the deep, golden yellow as the gilded 24K hardware, the strap links are smaller an lighter weight - on a scale from 1 - 10, I'm a solid 4 with happiness for this bag. I very much prefer my vintage bags.
And the prices for new bags keep increasing!
Ur Boy so black is amazing!! Do u know if it's easy to get the so black version? I never saw itView attachment 3732673 View attachment 3732671View attachment 3732669 the classic M/L I just got last month, the flap sewed look not aligned. I didnt want to be so fussy about that at first, Then after a few wear I notice the peel off at that area.. if open the flap I can even see the tear at the peel off area.
I agree. Only when you have gone through the experience of actually seeing such flaws on the bag that it becomes too stressful and time consuming to continue to make purchases in the future. My most recent experience has left a bad taste for me. I still enjoy seeing the collection and what is new though unfortunately.Yes thank u so much! I exchanged! But also the 5. flap was fine!!

Yes! I’m totally thinking of just sticking to vintage bags
. I honestly don’t like my Maxi at all - it is so light weight and compared to the vintage, the gold hardware doesn’t compare. It feels, dare I say, *whispers* cheap 
. I’m so conflicted.Yes this is not picky at all!! I mean u pay so much money for a bag and can expect some quality!!
What I find much worse is that you have been shopping with this store for a long time, yet they "lie" to you. If this happened in Munich, I'd be more than frustrated. To me this is completely unacceptable and we all know it is not due to being "hand-made". I expect at least some transparency from the team I have been shopping with for ages.Yes this is not picky at all!! I mean u pay so much money for a bag and can expect some quality!!
Hi, I recently purchased this m/l caviar shw classic flap. Upon closer inspections, I discovered the leather straps fraying, the burgundy interior protruding over the black exterior leather, and the burgundy bleeding through the needle points (which supposed to be a black bag?). The worst is the nip/broken leather of the front pocket where it joined main compartment. I took this back to the boutique and the manager wasn't in. The assistant manager was, agreed with the defects but wasn't authorised to do the cash refund. The manager called us a day later and said the assistant manager emailed her and said there was no defects.
We are now in dispute.

Wow, it's getting worse and worse...this is unacceptable. Very sorry for you and hope you can solve this asap.
Likewise. Its been a year and a half since I stopped buying chanel. But still enjoyed browsing their new collection hoping for price decrease and better quality. Fat hope! I think someone shud start a thread comparing how long they've stopped buying chanel hahaha.
