I just got my Nikki bag and I was wondering is it normal to have (no I won't be complaining again about it just wondering) lines in it, like from a lot of dye it looks like? Or lines from the leather bending? Just wondering if most designer bags were made in some way to avoid that or if that's normal, I just don't really know what to expect and the fact that the leather is so soft I thought that might make a difference and the lines might be there cause of that? I know that I could be way off and be totally sounding dumb, but i'm curious. Thanks.

can you take a picture?

No i'm sorry cause I'm Mac puter illiterate and I have not yet learned to post pictures on this puter, i'm a PC person and haven't figured that out yet. I dunno if you ever got on one but it's not the same or maybe you have a Mac and think i'm crazy lol. ANyway, that's ok cause I googled it and found out people do get wrinkled leather sometimes . But thanks!

I don't know when I'll ever learn, had this puter for months, that's like one of the only things I don't know that I need to know how to do. But I can take pictures on my cell and at school post them online and stuff so i'm not totally screwed but when i think about it i should learn somehow!

Pics would help. But I will say that two of the four bags I've bought have had variations in tones. One bag is blush and the other is brown (laundry).

The espresso leather on my Gillian clutch and the silver leather on my Sydney clutch are very consistent. Does it happen with the washed leathers?

Angie and Piper definitely have variations in color saturation. Dylans seem to be more even...Alyssa too.

Really? Alyssa? The one I got for dh's grandmother (she is SO going to love it) has quite a bit of variation compared to my crossbody in laundy. Hmmm...did I get a "weird" Alyssa? Or is it just blush in general?

I have the Nikki shoulder bag in black and I have no lines at all in my bag. This is my favorite LP bag.

Don't know about all Alyssas. But compared to my Angie and Piper bags, my tobacco Alyssa definitely has less color variation.
