Honestly, if it's bothering you already, I would return it. I'm not picky about imperfections but that crease would def bother me. Don't keep it thinking you won't be able to find another one. I think the empreinte neverfulls will be more readily available online. THey're not limited editions so they won't be going away anytime soon. Also, I can see that there are a few stores with it in stock (2 Neiman Marcus locations - San Diego & Dallas if you want to try direct contact). Also, if you call Client Services they can even order it for you or have some from the other boutiques contact you.
