This is exactly what I'm wondering because I bought it last week in Maui and one of the side straps (B only has these) had wrinkles on the leather. It wasn't an issue on the 25 or 35 just the 30 and we looked at 4 different bags. Of course the SA said it was normal for the leather but come on! I'm going to check out another lot here in Vegas, maybe it was just that one run. I was disappointed because they are cheaper in HI and my husband is now suspect that LV isn't the quality he thinks he paying for!!!!
