The leather on the new MC totes looks odd to me. It has a wrinkled effect to begin with so it doesnt surprise me that some bags would be misshapen. This seems like a bag that you need to hand pick to ensure you get the best one out of the whole lot.
BTW, I hope the mods will change the word retarded in the subject of your post. I'm not usually one to be all PC and offended, but in this case better wording could have been chosen.
