Hi, my authentic burberry bag did the same thing. It formed a little air bubble at one of the creases. I managed to "fix" it but I don't know if it will be a permanent fix or if it will last for long, or if in the long run might damage the bag--the procedure I did is a little "risky" 
so be cautious and proceed at your own risk!
You will need:
1) Disposable syringe with a medium sized needle 1 mL/cc syringe worked for me
2) Permanent Fabric glue
4) Damp wiping cloth (to wipe excess glue)
5) Dry large towel ( to insert inside the bag to hold the shape while glue is drying)
5) Heavy object to place on top of the bag air bubble after glue has been inserted (I used a full wine bottle that I removed the label from to weight down on it as the glass surface will not stick to the bag
3) And a whole lot of guts :boxing:
Procedure:
1) Draw a small amount of fabric glue with the syringe (you don't need too much)
2) CAREFULLY clean the tip and excess glue on the surface of the syringe and needle.
3) Insert needle into the corner of the air bubble and SLOWLY inject the glue ( if you do this step fast you will increase the air volume in the bubble and cause it to expand further --remember you don't need too much glue just enough to coat the inside surface of the bubble.
4) After removing the syringe, using the damp cloth wipe the excess glue.
5) Smooth out the bubble by gently pressing on it so it flattens out and at the same time spreads the glue around. Again wipe excess glue with a clean corner of the damp cloth--it might feel weird to the touch and kinda slimy when you do this....DO NOT FREAK OUT!! It is supposed to do that as you just put a "guey" substance in it =)
6) Make sure the bubble is completely "smoothed" out before you proceed to the next step.
6) Place the dry cloth inside the bag right underneath where the bubble is to give it support.
7) Place the clean bare glass of the wine bottle on top of the bubble (make sure you wipe the surface of the bag really well to avoid anything sticking to the bottle)
8) Wait overnight (or the length of the drying time as directed by the fabric glue)
Pheeeeeeeeeeeew, you are done, hopefully it will work for you too!!
Fell free to ask any questions!!!!!!!
And if you do use this method do let me know how it works out for you!!
Thanks!!
