If it bothers you I would return it. It seems like it has more creases than I am used to seeing even on a vintage bag. If you like the character of it then keep it. Me personally, I would return it.
I am thinking that little rescue has been through some very traumatic events. Poor baby.
It was an old vintage bag so it's hard to tell what it has been through over the years, but one of the main causes for canvas wrinkling is improper storage. If it was a soft sided design then the wrinkles could be coaxed smooth with usage and time but because the Alma is more rigid it makes it more difficult.
Some people only carry one bag at a time. I have a friend who carries one LV bag every single day until it's literally TRASH, then she buys a new one.
For whatever reason I was under the impression that the bag was vintage, not just 6 years old! So I was wrong on the age but I'm still willing to bet I was right about the rough life...don't blame you for wanting to send it back.
My mom was not into designer bags, and i dont have a concept of designer bags either before, so when my aunt gave my mom her old lv (in prestine condition), we just stored it inside the cabinet and we seldom use it. We live in a very humid place so over time, the canvas wrinkled and broke. It took 7 to 10 years though (if i remember it correctly). Now that im into buying designer's bags, i hope i could travel back in time and ill take good care of that bag.
