It is smart that you contacted them. Hopefully they will rectify it promptly for you.I'm not sure it really bothers me all that much, but it is a flaw in the bag. Emailed customer service this evening. Will wait to see what they say. Also ordered the Jane in Army. Super cute bag but I'm afraid there may be a small nick in the coating of the nylon on one of the pockets. It's such a small thing, so I'm not sure about exchanging that. May include pics to see what you Mz Wallace experts out there think...don't want this bag falling apart bc of faulty coating.
