Hard to capture how flat the corner quilts are, but overall some areas of the bag are noticeably puffier than others.
Is yours like that?

And...the strong perfume scent is definitely annoying. Assuming no one else got a non-leather smelling WOC recently? View attachment 5268807

I dont see anything wrong but again I am a newbie and not an expert in Chanel leather quality, etc. Your WOC looks great!
The smell is annoying though. That might also be hard to get rid of, have you reached out to your SA?

HI!!! I finally got mine after ordering it over the phone. The first thing that jumped out at me was that there were patches of quilts that were quite flat.... mainly the bottom corners of the top flap, and on the back - the bottom corners (with the right corner being nearly flat). Are yours like that?

Second thing that I found weird was the smell. My other caviars had a leather smell... but this WOC smells like perfume. REALLY hoping it wasn't a return that sat in someone's home or worse, was used...

The puffiness on mine seems even throughput. Mine does not have a perfume smell.

Hello All! I just purchased my first Chanel from Fashionphile. I got a WOC 19 in the beige. Excellent condition, practically brand new (came with all of the original packagings). However, it was a bit of an impulse purchase and I haven't done a lot of research. I paid just under $4k (taxes included). Is that "reasonable" or did I overpay? Just wondering what it actually retails and could I have gotten it for less directly from a Chanel boutique? I'm heading to Vegas in April so didn't know if I should just wait until then to get a brand new one?

I'm totally new to Chanel so any insights would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance!

I purchased the WOC past Saturday at Chanel boutique and price was $2950+tax so I think yours was overpriced as most is at Fashionphile. WOCs are pretty popular so there is no guarantee it will be available when you go to Vegas but they seems to become available regularly. You can visit Chanel Vegas and if none available and if SA is nice enough they can take your info/cc and ship it to you.

Soblack hardware costs more ($4k USD), but the non so black hw is $3650 USD, before taxes.

The 19 WOC costs several hundred more than the classic WOC. Classic, boy, reissue, trendy, & 19 WOCs are all priced differently.
