Thanks for responding. I posted not exactly because I was bothered, but more so I'm not knowledgeable to what's acceptable and not acceptable concerning a new Keepall. If the new ones usually aren't wrinkled, I would be bothered enough to exchange. But if the new ones typically look like my bag, I'd be ok. I know the older ones wrinkle.
I can’t tell in your pic where the wrinkling is but I have the same thing on my mono patches speedy b near the dring. I actually had exchanged it since the previous bag had really bad stitching. It sort of bothered me but looked better than the stitching so I kept the bag. I suppose at certain angles it might be sort of noticeable but I still like and use the bag. I had used a key charm over it but it really doesn’t bother me anymore,
Thank you! It's the two Vachetta stripes that runs along the sides and bottom of the bag. Hopefully this picture gives a better idea of where the wrinkling is.
I don’t have this bag but I might try and exchange it..can you go to a store to compare with other bags and try to exchange?
Keepall’s are stored flat and folded in the boutique. In fact, that’s how it ships from the factory. The longer it’s stored, the more creases you will see. Look at the date code, it may be an older piece not made recently. With that said, it’s not damaged, totally normal considering how the piece is stored.
those wrinkles are due to how the keepall is folded and stored. this is normal, you can fold leather without wrinkling it..
Completely natural from simply folding/flattening. I keep mine stuffed while not in use so it just stays the same and never gets any worse for wear. My keepall is like 30 years old.
All classic canvas Keepalls are shipped and stored folded like this picture below, that's why there's creasing on the bag. There's no point exchanging because that's how it is and you'll never find one that wasn't folded. Keepalls, Speedies, and Neverfulls are all designed to be shipped this way to save space. You can stuff your bag with airbags or pillows and let it rest. The creasing will be much less visible after use.
*Photo is not mine. I found it on Google.

Yeah, that's how they arrive from the factory. It's not a defect. All of mine have creasing in the same spot with the exception of the eclipse monogram canvas, but the leather on the eclipse feels much different and is thickness. It will get "worse" with time so if you don't like it you may want to consider returning.
I have a brand new Speedy I've been using with the same wrinkling on the handles. It's no biggie as far as I'm concerned, that is bound to happen anywhere the leather curves or "moves".
