Let it dry well, you may find that it will even out. If not, the moisturizer may be trapping the moisture. I would use cleaner on the bottom to remove any residue of treatment products, then let it dry and I can't say it enough...APPLE GUARD. It repels water.
I live in Florida. Eventually no matter what, my Balenciaga are going to get rain on them. Even if it's just drips from overhangs, car doors or whatever, I have never had water spot any of my bags. I've had it spot the leather on LV's if it's a drip from a roof and the water is dirty, but never Balenciaga.

Thank you so much, everyone, I really appreciate your empathy! 
All of your helpful tips have been duly noted. I took her out today to see if a little wearing and air could help her - tomorrow too, I think, to see if time helps. If I don't see improvement after a little while I will call LMB.
It seems weird because she's not treated aside from a little moisturizer in spots and she's been rained on lightly before - the water either flicked right off or spotted and dried with no stain whatsoever. Powder might be right about the moisturizer trapping the water. Or the dustbag got really wet and took forever to dry - ON the bag. eek.
Anyhoo, I'm a little bummed because she's only been with me like a month
but like some of you said, they eventually get more matte anyway - and it is the bottom. Could be worse!
I AM glad that my tale could help some of you girls to not make the same mistake!

bellenuit, I hope the bag will come out fine.
Last thurs, I flew to Ohio with rouille First in the luggage, cuz I was carrying the city onboard. But I miscalculated the time from my home to airport, so we arrived abt 15 mins before the last boarding call.
Then we arrived in Ohio, only to find out the luggage was still in Newark! I was not that worried but my boyfriend was. "You got a $995 bag in that luggage and you're not worried?!?!" Go figure.
The luggage arrived just before 9 pm. I got to Ohio at 9 AM.
