Thanks everyone for your help! I think I’ll just live with it since hardware gets scratched up anyway. Thanks @zinnya07 for the observation on the ones you saw, that’s quite helpful.
@papertiger, do you mean the velvet lining on the inside?
No, it's leather on the inside and cotton-velvet on the outside (stamped-leather trim). I'm sure in time these marks will come out but it gets depression marks if anything so much as touches the outside when stored.
