The crease in the front would bother me and if I saw that in the boutique I wouldn’t purchase it. I would return it.
The leather on this backpack is “looser” - it’s not tightly packed together the way it can be on flap bags. That was done on purpose, because it’d be weird if the backpack was hard and rigid. It reminds me of vintage backpacks - they had this vibe and they look like this over time and I’m ok with it. The line down the front is annoying but just know this bag is meant to have a looser construction of the leather, if that makes sense. Maybe you should try to find a replacement. But if you do find one without a lot of wrinkles know that this is the look of the bag and overtime will have this aesthetic. Do you find the chains to be heavy?
