A few months back I submitted my vintage Chanel black/lambskin classic flap and they rejected the quote saying it was due to "condition." My bag is not pristine but it's definitely good condition

I found this weird because some of the vintage chanel bags they had online at the time were actually in terrible condition. I saw a classic flap that actually looked like someone sat on it.

I ended up emailing them to ask and mentioned the condition of similiar bags on their website and they sent me some BS generic automated response.
You mentioned they rejected your bag due to "condition". I know you said it's definitely in good condition; however, have you had any work done on it, like dying or painting? I know sometimes they will decline a bag if it's been painted (or dyed) however I've seen bags they listed that have had work done (painted or dyed) as it's in their description. You can try to submit again as I have been rejected due to too much inventory and literally in about 30 days I tried again and they accepted it. Perhaps it depends on who you get as a buyer. If you are local submitting in person is better imo as they can see the bag in person.

Nope - no work has been done to the bag. I wish we had a location here in Chicago :(

This was a few months back so at that time i dont recall checking to see if they had my exact bag. But last night i did search and I only found one bag on the site that seems to be the same as mine.

They definitely have too much stock and are probably rejecting because of that but to say its due to condition is funny considering some of the bags they are selling lol.

Yes weird for them to say it's due to the condition when there is nothing wrong with the condition. Lol. I say try again. :) Make sure to take great pics, clear and detailed. Clean your phone lens off real good before taking the pic. I ended up with not so focused pics due to my fingerprint smudges on lens. Lol. If there is room to for "extra" pics give it to them. :)

Do you have pictures of your bag? Curious to see what was the condition they don’t take?

As mentioned before, it's definitely not pristine but I don't think the condition is any worse than some bags I've seen on FP. I think maybe that they just have a lot of classic flaps and considering the common combo (black/silver HW/lambskin) it's probably just not unique enough for them to take.

Thanks for the picture, the bag does look very good condition. I wonder if you had started it’s silver hardware when you summited your bag, because from this picture, it looks like light gold hardware, I have not seen old Chanel bags have light gold hardware, I would have doubt if I saw old Chanel has light gold hardware, and I don’t remember I have seen silver hardware vintage Chanel classic flap, it’s quite rare, possibly worth more than normal vintage bags.

Of course FP could declined for other reasons, your bag has serial sticker, correct?

I’ve been buying Chanel and classic flap bags since the ‘80’s, and they all have gold hardware.

Yes sticker is in tact.

This is a 6 series classic flap, so "newer" vintage I guess you can say - it's not 80s or 90s. I believe 6 series production is 2000-2002?

I have sold multiple bags to FP over the years, including Chanel and I really liked the ease of selling to them. Maybe in the future i'll try resubmitting or look for other avenues in the meantime.

I see, I thought yours were 90s vintage from the flat quilt. Yes, definitely try again or try other places.
 
Has anyone received an ACH payment from Fashionphile lately? The website says ACH was sent 3 days ago (Feb. 24 and today is Feb. 27). I am panicking that maybe I mistyped my account # or routing #. How long do ACH payments typically take?
I did it approx 60 days ago and it said it was sent on a Friday and it appeared Monday or Tuesday but a weekend was involved. You can go into your profile and check what account info you put in there. If for some reason that doesn’t work, you can call them and confirm
