And yes, it's not saffiano so it will have movement in the leather. t's not unusual nor does it look unusual. If it bothers you that much, you can wet it and straighten it out quite easily. Otherwise, you maybe better off to get something in the stiff saffiano, although I have seen it bend as well.

MKBaglover's in Merlot does not have that crease at the top, hers is perfect :)
I Don't know what to do, I am so torn on this bag
If I return it I probably won't get $50 off the price of something else, does anyone know? I used MK rewards card towards my purchase.

I got my Hamilton Traveler in Cinder today....
to be honest I am not quite sure that I want to keep her.
I don't like the way the leather is bent in above the lock. Is this normal???
Cinder is super close to dark taupe (bedford that I already have)
I am going to sleep on it tonight and see how I feel tomorrow.

Looks like this happened in shipping. How was it packed? You might can call & see if you can exchange it for another one. It shouldn't have that crease.

Such a shame that you aren't totally happy with it. As you say, my one doesn't look like that and I agree that it shouldn't be there. Looking at the third pic, straight on it is not that noticeable and being soft leather it should smooth out quite well (although I'm not sure if the edging is as pliable). It is still a lovely bag and I think if you work at it a little it might improve. Getting a straight switch shouldn't be a problem but I'm not sure how the reward voucher would work if you return it. I would like to think they give the full value back but they may do it in a gift card- I've seen that here as people try and sell them on eBay (they weren't given a cash refund and didn't want another bag!).

It was packed lovely in all its origional MK packing and then put in a box which it just fit into. It looks as though the lock was up, because the mark is the exact perfect shape as though that is how the lock was laying the whole time pushing in that dent.

I think I will call the store, see what they say, my stores still don't have this bag, so If i exchanged it would be for something else. I wouldn't exchange it online because I would be worried I would get a worse one.

This evening have bagged myself (excuse the pun,) a large Hamilton Messenger in navy with gold hardware. Have wanted another cross body bag for a while and love the Hamilton so this seemed the ideal one. Great price as well. Will post pics when it arrives.

Someone posted in the deals and steals thread that the Hamilton travelers are now down to $199 on the MK site -US
This makes me kinda glad I sent mine back considering its being market down again, and also glad I didn't wait to buy it on sale (in Canada) or I wouldn't be able to return it. Wasn't love .... We just didn't make a connection
I think there is something I found awkward about the design of this bag in the pebbled leather.

So I've been shopping today for a black bag and got me the outlet version of the Hamilton. It is marked down to 159€ at the outlet right now. I don't know how long this will last since they were setting up new bags and changing prices while I was shopping. Anyway I really like it and I think this will be a great work bag.

I saw this in person and although the pebbled leather would be less prone to scratches than the other traveler it didn't appeal to me. I think a big part was I thought it was huge, so people who prefer large bags might like it.

I feel the same way. I thought the Traveler looked nicer in the smooth leather, even if it was more high maintenance. Wish he brought the old version back...

Yup, I've been Carrying around my old Hamilton e/w in pebbled leather the last few days, just because I feel I've been neglecting them, just love that bag. So much better quality too, even with the older canvas type lining. Really my all time fav MK bag!
(The leather of the traveler felt cheap next to it)

My navy large hammie messenger arrived about an hour ago. Was a good deal at £70 including postage.

Has a couple of marks on inside lining which weren't described in listing but outside is immaculate. Sadly no dust bag but I am planning on trying to make some soon so they will be unique!l to me.

But and this is what I keep finding, for me the strap is just not long enough for crossbody. It looked so much longer hanging from a door in the ebay listing. I have this issue a lot and is why I am currently selling a bedford gusset which I adore but it was never used, as doesn't sit right on me. I wonder if it is because I am a larger topped girl lol. Can't be because I am tall i'm only 5"4!

The only one I have bought that has been perfect is my bedford flatbody which is a perfect length.

I really like this, but now wonder if it will be like the other one and not get used.

I like this flap style bag. Does it have a back pocket.? It has to be your top half cause I'm a bit taller not heavily endowed and crossbodies usually sit OK with me. Lol. Hope this one works out for you.

How very dare they ruin my crossbody bag wearing lol. I knew it would be that given I am almost a hobbit in height.

I didn't even notice till you asked that, yes it has a brilliant back pocket which is great as i have an iphone 6 plus and it fits well in there.
