After seeing others without the issue, I don't think the cut is supposed to be there. Mine has it and I haven't had any issues yet. I have worn my backpack over a dozen times so far. It doesn't bother me, but I see how it could be bothersome to others.

After seeing others without the issue, I don't think the cut is supposed to be there. Mine has it and I haven't had any issues yet. I have worn my backpack over a dozen times so far. It doesn't bother me, but I see how it could be bothersome to others.
My PSM also has the exact same "tear" right side of the bag and is also completely fine on the other side. I agonized over exchanging it for a while but didn't want to take the chance of receiving another bag with some of the miss-alignment or stitching issues that I read about on this forum. Not to mention, the wait to receive another bag could be another few months if I don't stalk the website!
Everything else on my bag is perfect.I ended up putting a bit of clear nail polish over it to see if it would stop this "tear" from getting bigger. So far, it has stayed exactly the same and I have worn my bag almost every day since I got it in July. I also stayed off this PSM thread for a bit so I would stop obsessing over it LOL. Now it doesn't bother me at all and I love my bag, flaw and all.
If it bothers you though, you should definitely exchange it. Good luck with your exchange!
Just got my mini. How does it look? Any flaws?
Does anyone know the price of this mini palm spring backpack in Singapore?

This looks so amazing. Is that charm still available for sale? I would love one for mine.
Edit: Just checked the site and it looks like this is from a previous season.

I stalked online and ordered as soon as it became available. It came in only 3 days! The zipper is nice and smooth and even though the alignment is slightly off, I’m very happy with it! I’m a size 12/14 and I was worried it would be too small on my frame but I think it’s perfect! 
Congrats on your new purchase! You look fabulous with it!! Love everything about it
