Hi ladies,
This is my 22c pink card holder which I got just a few months ago. Noticed this black spot on the top left of the cc logo this morning… Is this tarnishing? What could’ve caused it and can I do anything to get rid of it?
Thanks in advance!!

The very same happened to my card holder. Funny is I hadn't even used it yet, one day I noticed it has tarnishing all over the CCs and they weren't even smooth. No humidity in the house at all. No idea why this happens, low quality perhaps?
I could remove them with a jewelry cloth. If you don't have any, you can order e.g. on Amazon.

Thank you! I just purchased one. Hope it works! Did it work on yours?
Yah, I have no idea how it happened! I don’t remember getting it wet or anything like that. Crazy.

Yes it worked, rub the cloth with your index finger in circular motions while protecting the leather with the thumb of your hand. Just take your time, smoothly, patiently,...You will be rid of it. Good luck.

Hi All!

Seeking Chanel experts here as I am
a newbie. DH just got me Jumbo CF Caviar in Honolulu. We were there when store was closing and did look all over, thought it was good. Took it home to CA and found a spot. I went to South Coast boutique and they said repair won't be able to do much and it is part of the grain of the leather. Since there's no more wait list, I can just return and hope to come back another time to find another one. I love the bag, does not seem easy to find right now, but will this be an issue in the future? Is it a tear that will get bigger with use? Pictures attached. TIA!

The last two card holders I got had these “cracks”. I returned them.

It could get bigger with use. I would return this bag if I were you. It’s not worth it to keep it.

At this price point, the bag should be near perfect condition. This is horrid and I would return this bag. Agreed with @sparklywacky the cracks could become worse.

Return +1. The crack will get worse with use.

I don’t think it’s that big of a deal, it’s super minor, and another bag might just be worst off, plus it looks sturdy. Also, Chanel will repair for a lifetime with the “Chanel and moi” program. Hermes does worst , like popped stitches on new expensive quota bags. So Chanel being more expensive lately, is relative of the times. Chanel has always been expensive, and at least they are trying to take care of repairs for a lifetime. If you like it, keep it! At least you know it’s brand new( Hawaii Chanel store), and not returned used products from Neiman Marcus Chanel’s , lol. The Chanel stand alone boutique is way better!!! Good job for getting it there!

I have something like this on one of my Lambskins. I decided to keep it, mainly because I had no energy to deal with the process of returning and waiting for another one which may well be worse. I decidely convinced myself it is minor.
Having said that you should be convinced, otherwise return.

reading here and interested to know how a purchase in Chanel Hawaii guarantee that the bag is new? I also have problems with bag being returned and not new, perhaps gotta look into buying one when I'm on holiday there!

Probably because a lot of buyers in Hawaii are tourist and are unlikely to return a purchase during their time there.

For the same reason idlehen so graciously put into writing. Fsadeli, Can you elaborate more on what happened in your situation.
