I just received my 06 Lilac Work from Elizabeth Thomas yesterday and am happy overall with the bag (it does need conditioning since it is very dry and veiny). BUT I just noticed that the leather on the handles are very wrinkled on the underside and there is a weird stiff line under the leather along both handles. This "line" does not run along the entire length of the handles and feels like it could be the edge of the material that was rolled to make up the handle. You can't really see the wrinking but you can definitely feel it.
Anyone else experience this? I remember reading about a PFer who had a similar experience with wrinkled handles on a bbag from Elizabeth Thomas. Could it be that her bags are defects? How else can she sell new bbags at discount? If it's normal, then it won't bother me too much but it will bother me if its possible that I paid so much for a defective item. What should I do?
Thanks for your advice!
