Pre-loved Chanel square chevron mini question

[Sarenkaldn]

Hello everyone, I recently purchased a pre-loved square chevron mini in caviar leather. It's from the 16S collection, so the leather is quite sturdy and stiff. I really love the style of this bag, and after searching for a while, I was finally able to find it. However, I’ve noticed a crease on the flap, even when the bag is closed. Does anyone know how I might smooth out or remove the creasing on the caviar leather? Also, any tips on preventing it from getting worse would be greatly appreciated!

It's normal for some creasing there, I think if you're careful not to overextend it when opening the flap, it could improve.
It's never bothered me personally.

Thank you so much for reassuring me that this is normal and to be expected. I'll definitely be more careful when opening the bag 🙏


Do you have any suggestions for treatments to help with the creasing? I've seen people use a towel and steam, but mostly on lambskin bags. Others mention using a leather conditioner to soften caviar leather. I want to avoid damaging the bag, but if there's something that can safely reduce the creasing, I'd be happy to give it a try
